How to Naturally Remove Hair from Your Face

If you're tired of trying to cover up unwanted facial hair, try a few natural hair removal treatments. To quickly get rid of hair, shave, wax, or pluck it away. For gentler treatments that work gradually, create pastes or masks with natural ingredients. Apply these a few times a week so the hair follicles weaken and fall out. Remember to always apply a good moisturizer after trying any hair removal treatment.

[Edit]Trying Home Remedies

1. Make a papaya-turmeric paste to gradually remove hair over time. For a chemical-free hair removal paste, weaken the hair follicles. To make the paste, mash a raw papaya with 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) of turmeric powder. Apply the paste to the unwanted hair and let it sit for 15 minutes. Then rinse the paste off with warm water.^[1]
   
   • If you apply the paste 2 to 3 times a week, you'll notice the hair falling out after a few weeks.
2. Whip up an egg white mask and peel it off to remove facial hair. Whisk 1 egg white with 1 tablespoon (12.5 g) of granulated sugar and 1/2 tablespoon (6 g) of cornstarch. Spread the paste over the unwanted facial hair and leave it until it's dried. This should take 15 to 20 minutes. Then peel off the dried mask.^[2]
   
   • It's important to let the mask dry since this will remove the hair when you pull the mask off.
3. Make a turmeric and chickpea scrub for sensitive skin. For a gentle hair remover, mix equal amounts of chickpea flour with ground turmeric. Then mix in enough water to make a thick paste that you can spread on the unwanted facial hair. Leave it on your skin for 10 to 15 minutes and then rinse it off with warm water.^[3]
   
   • Because this is a gentle treatment, you'll need to do it a few times a week for several weeks before you notice the hair falling out.
4. Apply an oat paste to gently exfoliate your skin and remove hair. Instead of using a harsh exfoliator to remove facial hair, combine 2 tablespoons (11 g) of oats with 1 ripe banana in a blender. Massage the paste onto the hair and leave it to dry for 15 minutes. Then rinse it off with water.^[4]
   
   • Repeat this 2 to 3 times a week for a few weeks until you see results.
5. Dab lavender and tea tree oil over unwanted hair to stop hair growth. To slow down the growth of hair on your face, mix together 6 drops of tea tree oil with of lavender essential oil. Dip a cotton ball in the mixture and dab it onto the unwanted hair. Then let your skin dry. Do this once a day for 3 months to begin seeing results.
   
   • Because this method slows down hair growth, try it along with another method to remove hair.

[Edit]Removing the Hair Manually

1. Shave with a single razor blade for quick hair removal. Splash your face with water and massage sensitive-skin shaving gel or cream on it. Take a single razor blade, such as a facial or eyebrow razor, and gently run it over your skin. Then rinse your face off with water and pat it dry just before you apply a moisturizing lotion.^[5]
   
   • Avoid shaving your facial hair if you have acne. Shaving the fine hairs on your face can actually make your skin oilier and more likely to break out.
   • Rinse the razor frequently so it doesn't clog.
2. Wax the hair for longer lasting hair removal.^[6] For hair removal that lasts for 2 to 3 weeks, apply warm wax to the hair on your face. Firmly press a cloth on the wax and then pull it off to remove the unwanted hair.^[7]
   
   • To make it easier, purchase prepared wax strips that you simply press on your face.
   • If you'd like a gentler treatment that's easier to remove than wax, use a sugar paste instead of wax.
3. Use tweezers to pluck just a few facial hairs. If you don't have a lot of hair to remove or you don't want to remove fine facial hairs, pluck individual hairs with a pair of tweezers.
   
   • Use slanted tweezers since they grip the hair better than needle-nosed tweezers.
4. Rub a pumice stone to gently buff away facial hair. Shower for 5 to 10 minutes so the hot water softens your skin and opens your pores. Soak a pumice stone in water while you shower. Then rub a facial moisturizer on your skin and rub the stone over your face using small, circular motions. Continue to gently scrub your face for 1 to 2 minutes before rinsing your face with water.^[8]
   
   • If you have a double-sided pumice stone, use the softer side to prevent skin irritation.
   • Use the pumice stone on your face only once a week so your skin doesn't become red or inflamed.

[Edit]Tips

• Apply a moisturizer that works well with your skin immediately after trying any of these hair removal methods.
• Always practice good hygiene and wash your hands before doing any hair removal method on your face.
• Do a patch test on your skin before removing hair from your face. You'll be able to see if your skin has a reaction before treating your entire face.
