3. Egg White
This is a versatile natural beauty ingredient. Aside from helping you get rid of facial hair, it also works as a toner, a pore minimizer, and an effective remover of blackheads, dark spots, pimples, lines, and wrinkles. Egg whites also help make the skin tight and dry, which works great for those with oily skin, according to dermatologist Dr. Doris Day on CNN.
Separate the yolk from the whites and mix the latter with a tablespoon of sugar and cornstarch. When it forms into a smooth paste, carefully apply to your skin and let it sit for 25 minutes. To clean it off, don’t use water. Instead peel off the egg white mask, which will pull the strands of hair. Do the same procedure two or three times a week.
Apply hydrating cream or moisturizer after each procedure, so you won’t experience skin dryness. Dr. Day also said to carefully pick fresh eggs, as bad ones might contain salmonella, which can be accidentally ingested.
4. Gelatin
Use unflavored gelatin powder and not Jell-O for this procedure to get rid of facial hair naturally. In a bowl, mix a tablespoon of gelatin with three to four tablespoons of milk and a few drops of lemon juice. Add a drop of lavender essential oil as well.
Heat the mixture in a microwave for less than 20 seconds and while it’s still warm, gently apply it on your face. It will be quite sticky, so be very careful not to make too much mess or accidentally place some on your eyebrows. Keep the gelatin mask on your face for five to 10 minutes before peeling it off. The lemon, by the way, acts as bleach that will lighten your skin and hair. The lavender will help reduce skin irritation.
5. Raw Papaya
This fruit contains papain, which helps break down the hair follicles and has a depilatory effect, as per the International Journal of Pharmaceutics. Papaya is also a skin exfoliant, so it can improve your skin’s texture.
To make the hair removal treatment, peel the papaya and grind it to pieces then add a teaspoon of turmeric powder. Massage the paste on your skin and leave it on for 15 minutes. You might also want to add gram flour and lavender oil to the papaya paste. Wipe off the paste in the opposite direction of your hair’s growth before washing with water. Apply a moisturizer after. Repeat this process three times a week to get rid of facial hair naturally.
