It’s quite a well-known fact that there is hair on our faces. As the body’s chemistry fluctuates with age, there’s more visible growth as the hair gets denser, darker, and populous. However, most of the remedies available prove to be painful. Here’s a list of DIY hair removal tips that can go a long way in aiding you without you having to rely on waxing, plucking, or shaving.

Moreover, these tips add to maintaining your skin’s health naturally without the use of chemicals.

1. Oatmeal-based

The simple combination of oatmeal paste with honey and lemon juice is a great choice to eliminate facial hair within a month. You need to apply this paste after mixing the ingredients and letting it sit on the hairy spots for 15 minutes before washing it off. Repeat this two to three times periodically every week, and you will see results in a month.

2. Green gram flour-based

If you have very sensitive (prone to allergies) skin or acne breaks out very easily, regular hair removers can be very irritating and painful to the skin. The use of green gram flour paste mixed in rose water not only removes the hair but also exfoliates your skin and keeps it soothing and cleansing.

3. Process of sugaring

In this process, you need to mix the sugar with water and lemon juice. This is a process that is similar to waxing but minus the pain. The best thing about using this method is that your hair follicles can go dormant and prove to be a more effective solution than other hair removal types.

4. Papaya-based

If you don’t want to remove the hair but just want to lighten it to stop worrying about regrowth, use papaya. Half a papaya pulp cup is mixed with one teaspoon of milk to create a natural bleach. If you prefer, you could also replace milk with half a teaspoon of turmeric. Massage it into your face and let sit for about 10-20 minutes before you rinse it off.

5. Egg-based

You may have already heard about the plethora of benefits of using egg whites on the skin. It helps to remove blackheads while nourishing your skin. For hair removal, you can use egg whites with sugar and cornflour to create a peel-off mask. This will help remove the hair when you peel it off after a short duration of application.

You have many DIY hair removal options other than the top five common ones listed above. What you need to know is that in some cases the hair removal can be instant, but in others cases, it requires repeated application over some time to show its effects. Make sure you pick the best options based on how your skin reacts to these ingredients because at the end of the day you certainly do not want to end up irritating your skin.
