We want to remove facial hair, but we do not want to suffer the pain and hardship of removing them. So, how are facial hairs removed? We share the painless organic methods to eliminate your facial hairs with slow but sure steps in this article.
Waxing is one of the most common methods we are familiar with. Even though we know our faces do not like these, we turn back to the same routine despite the redness and the pain. And even if we decide never to do these again, we end up doing the same thing when we have a function next time. What if you could remove your facial hair at home? With natural remedies? Although these may not provide instant results, they can promise you a painless process without harming your skin. However, you should not use any component if you have an allergy. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s explain how to remove facial hair at home.
Alum and Rose Water
Alum, traditionally used by Asian women to inhibit hair growth, has been shown to work wonders in inhibiting hair growth. It can also be used as a post-waxing product as it cools the skin.
What you need:
- 1/2 teaspoon of alum powder
- 2 to 3 tablespoons of rose water
- A few drops of sesame oil or olive oil
Instructions:
- Add rose water to alum powder and make a paste.
- Get a cotton ball and dip it in the mixture.
- Apply the paste to areas with unwanted hair.
- Allow it to dry. Follow it up with another application of the mixture.
- Repeat this dry and apply procedure 5 to 6 times. If you have sensitive skin, 3 to 4 times is sufficient.
- Rinse.
- Moisturize the area with sesame oil or olive oil.
You should do this at least once a week, ideally three days a week. Alum powder is easily found in the market. If you can’t get it in powder form, grind the alum pieces.
Caution: This may cause a stinging sensation. Alum can cause irritation in the skin and mucous membranes.
Papaya and Turmeric to Remove Facial Hair
Papain enzyme found in raw papaya causes hair roots to expand, leading to hair fall. Papaya is also very good for the skin. It works as an exfoliator by removing dead skin cells. Those with sensitive skin, don’t worry! This one is just for you.
