Home remedies to Remove Facial hair
It is safe to use a natural home remedy to remove facial hair. But are all the herbal products safe? Can you apply anything to your face? A big no.
The skin on the face is sensitive enough to react with not-fit products. You may experience side effects like redness, rashes, pimples, etc.
To avoid all these, choose one of the safe home remedy options we suggest to you. And one thing that you have to keep in your mind is, whatever remedy you choose, after washing your face, apply cream or moisturizer.
Gelatine
Not only one option, but you get many to combine with gelatine to remove your facial hair. Gelatine has protein and amino acids that prevent wrinkles, stretch marks, and pimples. It also brightens up the skin. Now, see what all combinations you can make out of gelatine.
1. Gelatine, Raw Milk, and Honey
Add raw milk and a quarter spoon of honey to the gelatine powder and mix well. Apply it on the face and leave it for 30 mins to dry. We use raw milk, not boiled, because raw milk has nutrients. If we boil, it will lose its nutrients.
Milk works as a toner or moisturizer and a hydrating agent. And also it works as an exfoliator by cleansing your face. It has protein, vitamins, and lactic acid.
And honey, detox your skin and remove impurities. You can apply this paste on your face twice a week to reduce hair growth.
2. Gelatine, milk, and Lavender oil
Lavender oil opens up the pores and reduces inflammation. Add three drops of lavender oil to the unflavoured gelatine and milk mixture and heat it a little. Stop heating when it gets warm.
Apply it to your skin and as soon as it dries, wash your face with cold water.
3. Gelatine, milk, and Lemon juice
People use lemon juice to reduce skin damage. It prevents wrinkles and dark circles.
- Add 2 tsp gelatine, 4 tsp milk, a few drops of lemon, and mix well. Warm it and apply it to the face in the direction of hair growth.
- But, do not apply this one if you have sensitive skin as lemon is acidic, which might cause you redness and dryness.
- Tip: Keep a warm cloth on your face before applying a mixture as it will open up the pores and allow easy hair removal.
Gram flour
Sebum is an oily substance produced out of your skin to protect itself. And gram flour helps remove excess sebum from your skin and opens up the pores.
Gram flour also inhibits hair growth if mixed with, following,
1. Gram flour, coconut oil, and rose water
Mix up 2 tsp of each of them and make a paste. Apply to the skin and keep for 10 to 20 mins to let it dry. Rub it off in the opposite direction of hair growth.
Wash your face, and do not use soap or face wash immediately after removing the mixture.
2. Green gram, lemon juice, and rose water
Add 1 tsp of rose water and lemon to 3 tsp of gram flour. Apply to the hairy areas of the face and let it dry. Rub it off later and wash your face.
3. Gram flour, and honey
The way gram flour absorbs the excess oil from your skin. Honey does the same work, not letting your skin dry.
Add a few drops of honey to 2 tsp of gram flour and apply gently to your skin. Then wait until it gets dry and wash your face. To reduce hair growth, you can do it three times a week.
4. Gram flour, turmeric, and water
This mixture has the same procedure as that for others. Just add a pinch of turmeric to glow on your skin as turmeric has antioxidants and anti-inflammatory components.
5. Gram flour, turmeric, lemon juice, and sandalwood
Mix 2 tsp turmeric, 3 tsp gram flour, two pinch sandalwood and squeeze half lemon into it. Apply it to your skin every day until you see the results.
6. Gram flour, papaya, turmeric, aloe vera, and mustard oil
Add mashed ripen papaya with aloe pulp, turmeric pinch, and little mustard oil to gram flour. Use this mixture thrice a week initially. Rub it off after it dries.
7. Fenugreek seeds and green gram
Fenugreek helps in removing impurities resulting in glowing skin. It has vitamin C and vitamin K.
Make a smooth paste of fenugreek and gram flour and apply it to your skin. Rub it off when it dries, and wash your face. If you have sensitive skin, please do not apply it to your face.
Egg white
It works opposite that of gram flour by closing the pores and helping sebum production. But it removes facial hair the same way as gram flour and brightens up the skin. To prepare a paste of it, you can add,
1. Egg white, cornflour
Apply the mixture and stick tissue on top and repeat the layers twice.
2. Egg white, yogurt, sugar, and lemon
Add 2 tsp yogurt, 1 tsp sugar, and a few drops of lemon to egg white. And apply to the skin following the same method.
3. Egg white, sugar, and cornstarch
Add 1 tsp of each and apply it to the skin.
Advice: If you have acne-prone skin, do not apply a mixture containing egg because egg white has vitamin A, leading to breakouts.
Wheat flour, milk, and turmeric
Wheat flour removes hair when mixed with 1 tsp milk and a pinch of turmeric. It also improves skin texture and makes it tighter.
Once dried, peel it off and wash your face with cold water.
Oatmeal
It plays the role of a hydrating scrub and works as an exfoliate. It removes hair and dead skin cells, dirt, and oil from the skin.
Also, work similarly to raw milk as a cleansing agent or as a moisturizer for the skin.
You can make the following pastes of oatmeal,
1. Oatmeal and banana
Take one slice of banana and blend it with 1/4 cup or 2 tsp oatmeal. It will come out as a fine paste. Massage it on your face.
As soon as it dries, wash your face.
2. Oats, honey, and lemon
Blend all these ingredients to get a paste. Lemon here acts as a bleaching agent, and honey moisturizes the skin.
You can apply this paste once every two days.
Alum
Alum has astringent properties; along with hair removal, it also removes excess oil from the skin.
You can add just water and apply it to the skin or add rosewater and coconut oil. And before making a paste, crush the alum and take 1 tsp of it with 1 tsp of rosewater and coconut oil.
After a layer of it dries, apply another layer on top. You can do it for 2 to 3 days a week.
Corn starch
Like other remedies, this one also weakens the hair follicles and finally eliminates them.
For this method, take one cup of water and boil it with 1/4 turmeric (only if it’s natural, otherwise use a pinch of turmeric).
Add water to 2 tsp cornstarch in a bowl. Mix this with the boiling water and turmeric mixture.
After the mixture cools down, apply and rub it in the opposite direction of your hair growth after 10 to 15 minutes. You can use it daily if needed.
Sugar, lemon, honey
You can make any combination out of these three to remove facial hair. You can add lemon with sugar, sugar with honey, honey with lemon, and more.
Just soak a napkin in warm water and wring it out. Then using the cloth, peel off the paste, rinse the area with cold water and get the results.
Use it three times a week for reduced hair growth.
Potato
The potato bleaches the hair to make it less visible. Potatoes have many rich sources that tighten your skin’s pores and provide anti-aging benefits.
You can apply potato on your face by blending it with lentils and honey. The lentils work as natural exfoliates, leaving no dirt on your skin.
Blend all of them and get a thin paste. Apply it to the skin and get the results after a few weeks.
Papaya
The enzymes in papaya named papain have the feature of hair removal. Papaya also decreases inflammation, and blending it with a pinch of turmeric and applying it to the skin helps hair removal.
Instead, you can blend papaya with aloe vera, gram flour, mustard oil, and olive oil.
Remove it from the skin after 15-20 mins, and wash with lukewarm water. Apply this twice a week.
