Justin Bieber has shaved off his moustache.
The 20-year-old singer - who had also been sporting lip hair and an attempted goatee in recent months - took to Twitter today (07.10.14) to show off his clean-shaven makeover to his 55.4 million followers.
Along with a photo of his new baby-faced look, he posted: "Shaved the monster".
Along with his facial hair, it seems the 'Boyfriend' hitmaker is also trying to clean-up his act after recently admitting plans to ditch the booze and get his music career back on track.
A source said: "Justin has been boasting to his friends about his new healthy lifestyle.
"He no longer drinks and has stopped eating junk food, too. He's had a difficult few months and is hoping that this will give him a fresh start."
The star is also reported to have started seeing £600-an-hour therapist, John Kenton, at a clinic in Los Angeles to help him keep his impulsive behaviour in check following multiple run-ins with the law earlier this year.
A source said: "Kenyon's treating Justin in person, when possible, then over Skype when he's away. Sometimes they even have more than one session a day.
"It's too soon to tell if it's having a positive effect , but the fact that Justin has kept it up and passed the first batch of sessions speaks volumes.
"If he hates something he's not normally the kind of person to stick it out."

Sarah Harding is considering freezing her eggs.
The 32-year-old singer - who recently split from boyfriend Mark Foster - always hoped to become a mother in her late 20s and is thinking of taking steps to preserve her fertility until the time is right to have children.
She said: "It does get harder to see other people have something that you want. I've even got to the age now where I occasionally find myself wondering, 'Do I need to start thinking about freezing my eggs?'
"I do feel my biological clock is ticking and while I'm not ready right now, I do want to be a mum one day.
"My mum was 39 when she had me and I'd always hoped to start a family before that.
"I still have a few years to go but I do go through stages where it plays on my mind."
Sarah's former Girls Aloud bandmate Nadine Coyle became a mother for the first time in February and the 'Call the Shots' hitmaker was stunned by the changes in her friend when she went to visit her and daughter Anaiya.
Speaking in the new issue of HELLO! magazine, she said: "I really wanted to hold Anaiya but Nadine had her clamped to her the whole time and wouldn't let her go. She's a complete earth mother, which surprised me. But I'm delighted for her."
Sarah called time on her two-year relationship with Mark in September and she says they broke up because they waned "different things".
The 'Biology' hitmaker - who first dated Mark when they were teenagers - said: "I think you have to take something from every relationship and in the case of me and Mark, I learned that going back isn't always the way forwards.
"We're very different people now to who we were when we dated all those years ago. We want different things.
"It's taught me not to expect the world from every relationship and to live in the present more."

David McIntosh is having facial treatments to try and win back Kelly Brook.
The former 'Gladiators' star - who split from the brunette beauty, 34, last month amid claims he had remained close to his ex-girlfriend Sarah Harper throughout their five-month engagement - treated himself to an anti-ageing Skinbreeze treatment at the Debbie Thomas beauty spa at Hari's in Knightsbridge, London, to achieve a fresh faced "sweet boy look" in a last attempt to save their relationship.
David, 28, is hoping to visit the model in the next few days in the hope of winning her back with his newly glowing skin.
He took to picture-sharing site Instagram to share his delight at the results after shaving off his beard to clean up his look.
He wrote: "the facial hair is off!!!! Going for a sweet boy look."
He later added: "@skinbreeze_Orb I've been promised I'll look a million $$$ I'm not gonna lie I look like 19yrs old at a push[sic]."
David also confessed he opted for the hour-long facial - which includes mico-dermabrasion, ageing serums and a moisture-rich hydro mask - to help his skin recover from too much partying.
The news comes just days after it was reported he was planning to fly to Los Angeles - where Kelly has been filming the US sitcom 'One Big Happy' - to persuade her to give him another chance.
A source said: "He is madly in love with Kelly. David feels hard done by and reckons there is still a chance they can save the relationship if they talk face-to-face. He's been posting online about having a great time partying but he wants her back.
"It seems unlikely that Kelly will entertain the idea but David wants to know for sure."

Jessie J sent Justin Bieber a message of support during his turbulent period earlier this year.
The 'Bang Bang' singer sympathises with the 20-year-old pop superstar because of the immense pressure he is under and the attention his fame brings to him.
As Justin's legal and personal problems began to mount, Jessie initially penned a handwritten letter to him telling the 'Baby' hitmaker he is "amazing" and not to let his detractors and the paparazzi get him down.
Speaking in The Sun newspaper, she revealed: "I just felt like it was my duty. I hand-wrote it, old school. I was just like, 'I'm here, you're amazing.' He's young and he's got so much pressure on him. It's easy for people to comment when he's having a photo taken of him, but you don't see what we see. When it's just a picture of us, you're not seeing the hundreds of people pushing you, kicking you and hurling abuse at you. Sometimes even the people you may frown upon, whose behaviour you may frown upon, they're the ones that need the most help."
Jessie eventually made the decision not to post the letter as she felt it might be inappropriate to send it to someone who she doesn't know.
However, the 26-year-old singer - who is getting ready to release her new album 'Sweet Talker' - did get a message to Justin telling him she was available to talk if he wanted to.
She explained: "I just didn't think it was my place. I know people who know him, so I could have got it (the letter) to him. But instead I just made sure his people knew I was available to speak to me - as I have been to many artists."

'Twin Peaks' is returning to the small screen.
The cult 90s TV show - which starred Kyle MacLachlan, Piper Laurie, Sherilyn Fenn, Joan Chen and Russ Tamblyn - is being revived by Showtime and its original creators David Lynch and Mark Frost for a nine-episode third series which is scheduled to air in 2016.
The surreal show - which originally aired from April 1990 to June 1991 - told the story of agent Dale Cooper as he attempted to solve the murder of Laura Palmer in the fictional Washington town of Twin Peaks.
No cast details for the series have been released but Showtime's president David Nevins has confirmed the plot will be as "wonderful and strange" as the original.
He said: "To quote Agent Cooper, 'I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange.' "
According to New York Daily News newspaper, David and Mark felt the show was "pulling them back" after the first and second series failed to tie up the loose ends and questions left open when the bizarre ABC show ended abruptly.
The pair said in a statement: "The mysterious and special world of 'Twin Peaks' is pulling us back. We're very excited. May the forest be with you."
Showtime has also announced it will air the first two seasons of the show in the run up to the long-anticipated third series' debut.

Kimberley Walsh is finding breastfeeding difficult.
The former Girls Aloud singer gave birth to her first child, Bobby, last month and admits it has been tough trying to keep up with her thirsty newborn baby's demands.
In her first column in OK! magazine since giving birth, she admitted: "I've always thought breast-feeding would be the easiest thing in the world and it's only when you speak to other people who tell you they also found it painful and hard that you realise it's not just you."
The 'Call The Shots' hitmaker thought motherhood would be a more straight-forward process, but she is now getting used to parenthood and has "cracked" the breastfeeding dilemma.
Continuing to talk about nursing, she said: "You imagine it will be the most natural thing in the world, but more often than not it doesn't come naturally to either you or the baby!
"It can be quite distressing when it's not working, but we've definitely cracked it now and it continually gets easier."
Despite being a new mother, the 32-year-old star insists her and her boyfriend Justin Scott's schedule has not slowed down.
She said: "We had quite an eventful week. It was my friend Alix's little boy Miller's party and also my youngest nephew Alfie's first birthday - going out so much nearly killed us!
"At the first party my friends commented about how well I looked and then at the next one the following day, not so much! We were exhausted by the end of it!"

Angelina Jolie can't relax.
The 39-year-old actress-and-director - who has children Maddox, 13, Pax, 10, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, eight, and six-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne with husband Brad Pitt - takes her work everywhere and says the family's base in the south of France is "perfectly situated" for wherever she needs to go with either her movie career on her role as a United Nations (UN) special envoy.
She said: "I'm not very good at relaxing. I can't stay put. I read, write, negotiate films, I carry my office around with me.
"[Our home in France] is close to European cities, but also to Africa and the Middle East. To all the theatres of operations where my United Nations work obliges me to go. LA is clearly too far from all that."
Angelina was left devastated in 2007 when her beloved mother Marcheline Bertrand died of cancer but she still feels her mum's presence when she is with her children.
She explained to France's Marie Claire magazine: "I feel in contact with my mother when I look at my children.
"I can feel her influence over me then. I see that my way of raising them resembles the way she raised my brother and I.
"It's more apparent with my daughters Shiloh and Vivienne. Therefore, yes, my mother is there, present in this influence, all the time.
The 'Maleficent' actress admires "softness and strength" in other women, attributes she always appreciated in her mother.
She said: "She was very soft but could move mountains for her kids.
"That's something I always admire in women: that mix of softness and strength. She was half Indian, and I remember that as a small girl, she took me to a dinner for Amnesty International.
"She always tried to understand the complexity of the world. She had a great heart which was sensitive to the world's violence."

Taylor Swift has praised Pharrell Williams as a "sorcerer of happiness".
The 'Shake It Off' hitmaker is a key adviser to the contestants on the new series of 'The Voice' US and while her old friend Blake Shelton likes to make her feel "uncomfortable", the 'Happy' singer left her feeling "really good" when she worked with his team.
She said: "The first person that I worked with was Blake Shelton, who I've known for years because we both have been in the country music scene for years and years and years
"His favourite this to do is to make me uncomfortable!
"And after you talk to Pharrell, you feel really good for about two weeks straight... he's like a sorcerer, of happiness."
Taylor and Pharrell hit it off so well, they are now planning to get together in the recording studio.
She told 'Access Hollywood': "Pharrell and I were talking, in the breaks yesterday, and we just kept saying, 'We have to do something together!' He's like, 'You just call me. Call me when you figure it out.'
"I'm like, 'You call me if you figure it out first!' "
And the 24-year-old beauty can't wait to work with No Doubt star Gwen Stefani and her team on the show.
She gushed: "I look up to her so much because she's continued to do her thing. I love that she never veered away from red lipstick, I can relate. I'm really excited to spend time with her."
As part of her position as key adviser - a role which Chris Martin undertook last series - Taylor will also work with fourth coach Adam Levine and his team.
