Removing Facial Hair

guptaanisha · Aug 10, 2005

Hello,
I have lots of hair under my chin and on my cheeks. I use katori wax almost every week . It helps me remove these hairs but due to waxing and at times using hair removing lotion, they have become more corse and visible than before. Do you know of any medicine/ ointment or home remedy which helps reduce hair growth ?

Please help !

Try applying this paste...

A,

Make a paste of 1-tbsp gram flour, turmeric, lime juice and yogurt. Apply on your chin and cheeks where you have facial hair and leave it to dry. Later scrub and remove it without using water. This will pull off facial hair and leave a smooth finish. The bleaching effect of lime juice and yogurt combination will make the left out hair color dull and will not be visible.

You need to apply this regularly for quite sometime and don't expect for a overnight effect. Also, do not apply if you have oily skin.

All the best!!

Thanks.

Hi Rathi,

Many thanks for the great solution. I have tried this method few times but like you said this is a long term hair removal method. Can you suggest something that shows results faster and is permanent ? Plus since i am working and stay with a big family, I do not get time to keep the paste on my face everyday.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks,
A.

Hi guptanisha,

I think u should check with some gynecologist for your hair growth. There are some hormonal problems eg polycystic ovary syndrome which causes hair growth due to hormonal imbalance and irregular menses. If the underlying cause is treated, the hairgrowth will stop and to remove the present hair you can use laser treatment or anything which is convenient to u.

hope u like my suggestion
