Hi,
Welcome to health Care Magic, thanks for posting your query. I understand your concern.
Facial hair can be really a problematic issue , in your case the reason for your facial hair growth is the imbalance in your hormone levels.
Taking contraceptive pills have a known side effect of weight gain and facial hair growth, also its good if you get a ultrasonography test done to rule out causes like PCOS. Many hormonal conditions can cause symptoms like you are facing.
So i suggest you to meet a gynecologist who will be able to evaluate completely and prescribe you accordingly.

Meanwhile, stop shaving . Shaving only makes it worse, it could make the hair thick, rough and grow faster than usual. You could consider laser treatment for facial hair. Consult a dermatologist for the same who will prescribe you based on your skin type.
First get treated for your medical condition , if you get diagnosed with any and then go for the laser therapy. It gives satisfactory results.
Hope this helps, and answers your query satisfactorily.

Good luck and wish you good health.
Do write back to me if you need further assistance.
take care,
regards.
