Top photo is a before and after. On the left is Day #1 and the right is Day #600 of my therapy. The photo on the bottom is from today, with no make up. I have been testing to see if I could still grow out some scruff, and I can. <3

Day one I was freshly shaved. So, as you can tell I had COURSE and DARK facial hair, that couldn’t be covered with just a touch of make up. Foundation and concealer would just make that part of my face look dried out and flaky, unless I wore an actual layer of concealer to the point where my skin couldn’t breath. So, I just didn’t wear make up and tried to have the healthiest skin I possibly could.

Day six hundred I was freshly shaved. I have had no laser treatments or permanent hair removal at all. I simply shaved, and applied a very light layer of concealer, no foundation. We are talking less than a dime size amount mostly under my eyes, chin and jaw. Applied with a sponge that absorbed half that dime size amount, lol. I did put on mascara, lip gloss and light blue eye liner on my bottom lash line. I also shaped my brows in both pics with a brow wax/gel combo.

So… I would 100% say that HRT has completely eliminated ANY dysphoria I once had over my facial hair. Being me, I wanted to know how long it would take for me to look scruffy, as my facial hair is both lighter, softer and grows very slowly now almost 2 years into my therapy. It took me 4 days just to grow out what you see in the bottom picture, and to be honest I fucking LOVE that if I damn well please, he can still grow a beard!

Living my best genderfluid life!
