Makeover Magic: Ways to naturally remove facial hair

All you need to do is mix two tablespoons of sugar and lemon juice, along with eight to nine tablespoons of water. Heat this mixture until bubbles start to appear and then, let it cool. Apply it on the affected areas using a spatula and keep it for about 20-25 minutes. Wash it off with cold water, rubbing in circular motion. Wondering how it works? Well, sugar is a natural exfoliating agent, and warm sugar sticks to your hair, not skin. Lemon juice works as a natural (and cheap) bleach for the skin hair, and helps to lighten the skin tone. Say bye to the painful facial waxing!

This is another method to replace waxing. Start with mixing two tablespoons of sugar and lemon juice, and one tablespoon of honey. Heat the mixture for about three minutes and add water to make the mixture thinner, if required. Once the paste cools down, apply corn-starch on the affected areas and spread the paste in the direction of hair growth. Next, use a waxing strip or a cotton cloth, and pull the hair out in the opposite direction of growth. Honey helps in moisturising the skin, so this method is highly recommended for dry skin. 

Blend two tablespoons of oatmeal with a ripe banana, and apply this paste on affected areas. Massage for 15 minutes, and wash it off with cool water. Oatmeal makes a great, hydrating scrub and is loaded with antioxidants that helps remove redness from your skin. Apart from removing facial hair, this paste also gives glowing skin. 

Mix a tablespoon of honey, lemon juice each with five tablespoons of potato juice. Meanwhile, grind the lentils (soaked overnight) to a smooth paste. Add all the ingredients and apply the mixture for about 20 minutes on the affected area. Wash it off once it is completely dry. This paste makes a thin crust that helps in hair removal. Plus, potato helps in bleaching the hair, making them less visible. 

Mix a tablespoon each of corn-starch and sugar with egg white. Apply this mixture on the areas where you have unwanted hair and peel it off once it is dry. Quite simple, isn’t it? Egg white is sticky, and forms a thin film on skin when combined with sugar and corn-starch. This method is not suitable for acne prone skin as egg white contains Vitamin A which may lead to breakouts.
