Hair follicles play an essential part in determining the color, texture, and shape of your locks as well as stimulating new growth. Unfortunately, no matter how often you shave, pluck, or wax unwanted facial hair will always return; here are some easy and natural strategies for killing off hair follicles on your face.
Sugar and lemon juice
Sugar and lemon juice is a tried-and-true home remedy to remove facial hair effectively and quickly, providing an alternative to waxing that won’t leave red, flaky skin behind. Furthermore, this mixture works equally well for other parts of the body like legs and underarms.
Make a paste using equal parts sugar and lemon juice mixed together with water, then apply to areas you wish to remove hair from. The warmth from lemon helps loosen up stubborn facial hair while acting as an all-natural bleach to lighten its remaining color – an efficient and affordable solution to unwanted facial hair removal!
Honey can also be an effective solution for hair removal, making it especially suitable for sensitive areas like lips. To create the mixture, combine sugar and molasses with lemon juice before heating for 2-3 minutes in the microwave. After applying to hairy area and placing cloth strip over it, pull cloth in opposite direction of hair growth until all unwanted hair comes off easily – repeat this procedure two or three times weekly until hair loss.
Papaya and turmeric
Papaya contains many essential nutrients essential for skin health and beauty. Its skin lightening properties help clear away scars, blemishes and pigmentation while its vitamin A and beta-carotene content promote healthy skin and hair. Furthermore, papain contains enzymes which rip away dead skin cells to stimulate hair follicles to open, which leads to hair removal via natural methods without costly salon treatments or products. This home remedy offers safe yet effective hair removal without spending hundreds on expensive salon treatments!
Turmeric is an ancient spice known for its many medicinal uses, such as antiseptic and anti-inflammatory qualities. Home remedies commonly utilize it for various skin conditions like rashes and blotches as it has the power to kill off infection-causing bacteria. Turmeric can even be used as an effective solution to remove unwanted hair by creating a paste with it and applying it directly on affected areas; though only use small amounts since too much turmeric may stain your skin yellow; additionally it should be avoided on sensitive skin as this treatment could prove disruptive.
Make this face mask by mixing turmeric powder and milk and applying it on areas where hair removal is desired. Leave for 15-20 minutes before washing off – repeat twice weekly to see desired results!
Papaya contains proteolytic enzymes papain and chymopapain that work to strengthen hair while adding moisture and strengthening its structure. Vitamin C, A and B9/folic acid as well as its myriad antioxidant properties combine with these proteolytic enzymes to fight off issues like dandruff, itching and flaking on scalps while simultaneously preventing premature graying of locks.
Blend some raw papaya pieces and turmeric powder until the consistency resembles paste, then apply to areas you wish to remove hair by massaging gently in circular motions for 15-20 minutes, leaving on for 15-20 minutes and washing off with warm water after. This method provides an affordable, simple, and noninvasive means of hair removal on face or body.
Aloe vera juice
Aloe vera is an amazing natural remedy, used widely today in beauty, skin and hair products as well as DIY beauty recipes. Its gel is packed with essential amino acids and has long been revered for its medicinal benefits; Cleopatra was famously fond of using this plant in order to maintain healthy hair and glowing skin! Cleopatra herself even found great benefit from using aloe vera for glowing skin and strong locks!
Aloe vera is one of the best remedies for dandruff as it contains both anti-fungal and fungicidal properties, as well as improving circulation to stimulate hair growth. Furthermore, it soothes irritated and itchy scalps while also treating flaking and treating dry patches on scalps that have flaked before. Furthermore, its moisturizing effects help strengthen fibers for healthier, stronger locks.
Aloe vera can also act as an antioxidant, neutralizing free radical damage caused by free radicals and protecting against oxidative stress. Furthermore, it restores pH balance to your scalp and hair that may have been altered due to environmental factors like pollution or harsh shampoos.
Aloe vera can be easily found in pharmacies and grocery stores, but making your own at home is just as straightforward. Just cut open a fresh leaf and scoop out its gel – an easily accessible substance you can use on hair, skin or body applications; or combine with other ingredients for customized skin and hair care solutions.
Combine aloe vera with lemon juice to kill scalp fungus and promote healthy hair growth. Simply combine half a cup of aloe vera with freshly squeezed lemon juice, massage into scalp and hair before washing out, and repeat once or twice weekly until desired results have been seen. Though safe to use on most hair types, always perform a patch test first for maximum effectiveness.
Rose water
Rose water is an irresistibly relaxing beauty essential, used in various beauty treatments as well as being added to haircare regimens to tame frizz, add shine and keep scalp hydrated – as well as potentially reduce itching or irritation.
Rose water has a long and rich history dating back to ancient Egypt, when Avicenna, an 11th century Persian scientist first used it for cosmetic and medicinal use. Rose water is produced by distilling rose petals like Rosa canina, Rosa damascena, Rosa centifolia to produce nontoxic yet safe product which can be applied directly onto skin or hair for application.
Rose water is an effective mild astringent that can balance oil production on your scalp, which in turn can reduce dandruff and other issues such as itchy hair. Furthermore, rose water acts as a natural antioxidant which may even slow down aging processes; its soothing scent also serves to relax your scalp while lifting your spirits.
Rose water can be used alone or combined with other ingredients to achieve optimal hair and scalp health. For instance, you could combine it with aloe vera for an abundantly nutritive conditioner that’s particularly helpful in repairing damage caused by frequent use of hair styling tools. You could even combine it with castor oil to encourage healthy hair and scalp growth.
Rose water can be an ideal solution for those suffering from oily scalp. With its mild astringent properties, rose water is an effective solution that can control excess oil on your scalp while being suitable for all hair types. Plus, rose water makes an ideal final rinse post shampoo to rehydrate hair and scalp!
For those suffering from dry, frizzy locks, mixing rose water with just a few drops of castor oil will create an ideal spray that will hydrate both scalp and strands. Curly or natural locks especially benefit from this mixture, helping tame frizz while softening and shining up their locks. Simply store this mix in a spray bottle until needed!
