While it is common practice to wax, thread, pluck, and shave, women from India, Egypt, the Middle East and Latin America swear by these methods of removing hair since they are less painful, cheaper and better for your skin!
Turmeric Paste
You might be shocked to learn that you can remove fine hairs with ingredients that you use in your food everyday! Turmeric is a superfood that not only boosta immunity, but also to remove facial hairs.
All you need to do is mix a few spoons of turmeric powder with a little bit of milk to create a thick paste. Then spread the paste on the area you want the hair removed and leave it on for about 15-20 minutes or until it is dry. Next, use a clean cloth to scrub that area in circular motions and you will see the hair being removed! Do this regularly, and you will see your hairs growing back slower and finer.
Sugaring
The process of ‘sugaring’ is similar to waxing, except it’s much less painful. Heat 2 cups of white sugar, ¼ cup lemon juice and ¼ cup water and mix it in a saucepan over a high flame. Make sure your skin is cleansed and dry and apply the sugaring paste on the area you want to remove hair from. After a minute or so, remove the paste in the same direction of hair growth et voila! Your hairs will be gone. Just go over it a few times and then oil the skin, you will feel much better than waxing!
Lavender Oil + Tea Tree Oil
Both lavender oil and tea tree oil have anti-androgenic properties which reduce hair growth over time. Just mix both the oils together in a bowl and apply this mix a couple of times every day to the area where you want to remove hair from. You will see slower hair and thinner hair growth and the best part is that these oils are beneficial to your skin! It’s a win-win situation!
