I am South Asian and it is quite normal for people of our race to have dark facial hair. The one thing that has been the most succesful is electrolysis. Trust me I nkow at first it sounds like such a long process and I wont lie it does hurt but it has been so successful that I feel a new confidence where before I was so afraid of going out in the sunlight. NOw I wear my hair back somethingI would never had done 2yrs ago. I am also on Diane 35 and the combination is the most effective. I hope this helps.
