Facial hair is a common problem that is faced by the women especially on their face. No doubt, there are numerous products by established brands available in the market but they are not pocket friendly.
Some of the cheap methods to remove facial hair are wax strips, razors, but they aren’t always safe as everyone has a different skin type. Instead, using these products on your face, girls can switch to some natural remedies that can help them to achieve better results.
List of some home ingredients which help to treat the facial hair at home;
Lemon and sugar: Take a bowl, mix two tablespoons of sugar and lemon juice and add 8-9 tablespoons of water to mix it well. Put this mixture on heat until bubbles start to appear and then, let it cool. Apply it on the affected areas and keep it for about 20-25 minutes. Wash it off with cold water, and make sure you rub in circular motion. Sugar is a natural exfoliating agent, and warm sugar sticks to your hair, not skin. Lemon juice works as natural bleach for the skin hair, and also helps to lighten the skin tone.
Lemon and Honey: Second way to replace painful waxing is by mixing two tablespoons of sugar and lemon juice, and one tablespoon of honey. Heat the mixture for three minutes and add water to make the mixture thinner, if required.
Leave it for a few minutes, then apply on the affected areas and spread the paste in the direction of hair growth. After that, use a cotton cloth, and pull the hair out in the opposite direction of growth.
Oatmeal and Banana: For this method, mash two tablespoons of oatmeal with a ripe banana, and apply this paste on the affected areas. Massage it for 15 minutes, and wash it off with cool water.
Oatmeal creates a hydrating scrub and this paste will make your skin glow.
Egg White and Cornstarch: Mix a tablespoon each of corn starch and sugar with egg white. Apply this mixture on the areas where you have unwanted hair and peel it off once it is dry. Note a point, this method is not suitable for acne prone skin as egg white contains Vitamin A which may lead to breakouts.
Gram flour and Rose water: Take equal proportion of gram flour and rose water plus add some drops of lemon juice in it. Mix well and apply on the areas you have facial hair. Leave it to dry and then carefully rub it off with your fingers to remove the unwanted hair.
