Most women pay a lot and do whatever it takes just to remove those unwanted hairs in some body parts. For them, it is a cause of embarrassment especially those located on the face and legs that are more exposed.
According to Today I Found Out page, women started to be obsessed of silky-smooth skin in underarm and legs in the early 1900s when models started to wear some sleeveless dresses. Up until now, women and some men are trying every natural and unnatural way just to get rid of those unwanted body hair.
Here are some natural ways to remove body hair effectively:
For leg and arm hair
White pepper, camphor and almond oil - Make a paste using these ingredients. First, you need to grind those solid ingredients until it turns to powder. Mix white pepper and camphor with a little almond oil to make a not so thick paste. You can apply it on your legs and arms. It is not recommended in the face. Leave it for at least 15 minutes then rinse with water. You will notice some hair falling off.
For underarm hair
Sugar, lemon juice and water - As posted by LiveStrong, make a wax using these ingredients. What you'll need is 2 cups of white sugar, ¼ cup of lemon juice and ¼ cup of water. Add all ingredients in a sauce pan and heat it. Once the mixture turns into a brown wax look, cool it to room temperature. Dry your underarm then apply the wax making a thin film covering the underarm skin and hair. Leave it to harden for few minutes. Once the wax is already hardened, remove the wax and this time, the underarm hair can be pulled off easily but should be in a quick pulling motion. Apply a skin moisturizer after. Do this twice a week. (You can keep the extra wax in an airtight container for the next use.)
For the facial hair
Turmeric and milk or water - Turmeric is widely used in India to prevent hair growth. Grind turmeric until it becomes powder and add milk or water to make a not so thick paste. Apply it on your face and leave it for 20 minutes. Wash your face with warm water to remove the turmeric paste. Your skin will be smoother with lesser fine hair.
