There are a number of things you can do to assist excess facial hair, or reduce it if you have PCOS, "Every1LuvzAngie". First off excess facial hair is a symptom of elevated testosterone levels. Believe it or not, being fat contibutes to elevated testosterone levels (put simply, your body synthesizes testosterone from body fat!)reducing your body fat (not just your WEIGHT - and there's a big difference there), reducing refined carbs in your diet, can significantly contribute to reduced testosterone levels in PCOS sufferers.
A natural herbal remedy that is commonly used in men to prevent prostate troubles, can, believe it or not, work for women with high testosterone levels and excess facial hair. it is called SAW PALMETTO and is quite safe to take. You need to understand that with any herbal supplement, you need to take it regularly for a number of weeks to see results. I have heard some people swear by it, and they have noticed excess hair reducing while on it.
