While there’s nothing wrong with body hair, we have to admit, it feels nice to have super smooth legs and underarms every now and then, especially come summer. Shaving and waxing comes with a price and can be painful. Natural hair removers, on the other hand, may not give you freshly shaven legs the first time around, but with continued use, they gently remove hairs over time. Commercial hair removal creams and scrubs are filled with chemicals, so if you want a more natural approach to getting rid of unwanted body and facial hair, we’ve rounded up our favourite DIY hair removal recipes!
10 DIY Hair Removal Recipes
1. Turmeric + Milk
Turmeric is full of antioxidants and is a common ingredient in beauty products. With repeated use, turmeric loosens facial hairs without causing any pain. Create a turmeric paste by mixing 3 tablespoons of turmeric powder with one tablespoon of milk. Mix until you have a thick paste. Spread it evenly on the desired area and leave it for about 20 minutes or until dry. Use a clean washcloth to remove the paste using gentle circular movements. Using turmeric to remove body or facial hair is not immediate, but it’s a chemical-free and pain-free method that also improves the appearance and health of your skin.
2. Turmeric + Papaya
We know the benefits of hair removal for turmeric, but papaya is another ingredient that works well for hair removal. Papaya contains an enzyme called papain, which has been found to have a “depilatory” or hair removing effect, weakening hair follicles and gradually preventing them from growing back. It won’t instantly remove your hair, but works great over time! Mix 1 tablespoon of mashed papaya flesh with ½ teaspoon of turmeric powder and leave on for 15 minutes before washing with warm water. Repeat 1-2 times per week.
