Home Remedies for Unwanted Facial Hair

In medical terms, abnormal hair growth (on the face as well as the body) in women is called hirsutism. It has been observed that individuals with dark hair or pigmentation are likely to be hairier than those with a lighter pigmentation or blonde hair.

Unwanted facial hair can become an embarrassing beauty concern for women, especially when they age and their estrogens levels change due to menopause.

Here are the home remedies for unwanted facial hair.

1) Homemade Sugar Wax

This is a super easy and effective home remedy to get rid of unwanted facial hair. 

Mix two teaspoons of granulated sugar (brown or white) and one teaspoon each of honey and water. Heat the mixture for about half a minute. Place a cloth strip over the sugar wax and smooth it out with your fingers in the direction of the hair growth. Finally, rip it off in the opposite direction of hair growth.

2) Chickpea Flour

A chickpea flour face pack will help exfoliate your skin to remove dead skin and hair. Plus, it can lighten the color of your skin and facial hair. 

Mix together two tablespoons of chickpea flour, one tablespoon of milk cream, one and one-half teaspoon of milk, and three-quarter teaspoons of turmeric. Apply this thick paste on your face and leave it on for 20 minutes or until it dries. Scrub it off using a facial loofah pad or simply a soft cloth dipped in lukewarm water. Do this at least three or four times a week for about a month.

3) Green Gram Flour and Rose Water

Like chickpea flour, green gram flour also aids natural hair removal through exfoliation. In addition, the combination of green gram flour and rose water works as a natural cleanser for sensitive and acne-prone skin. 

Add one and one-half tablespoon of rose water to two tablespoons of green gram flour. You may add one tablespoon of lemon juice as well. Spread the paste on your face and leave it on for 20 to 25 minutes before scrubbing it off.

4) Spearmint Tea

Excess hair growth is often attributed to the excessive production of androgen in the body. Spearmint tea can help regulate hormone levels. Boil a cup of water. 

Add one teaspoon of dried spearmint to it. If you have fresh spearmint leaves, use four or five of them. Cover the container and let it steep for about five to 10 minutes. Strain and drink the tea.
