Natural Treatment for Facial Hair Removal

Before you try anything to remove facial hair, it is necessary for you to know that it is normal to have fine hair on the upper lip, sideburns and around the chin. However, if it is too thick and coarse in texture, then you would need to get rid of it. A simple way of doing this is to bleach any unwanted hair away from your face. You can buy a packet of body bleach from any pharmacy. This will work well enough and the procedure will have to be repeated when you notice darker hairs beginning to show up again. Alternately, you can also apply hydrogen peroxide on the entire area evenly and wash it off after about 10 minutes. Do this for at least a week to see positive results. Lime juice, a natural bleaching agent, can also be applied to the area frequently to lighten the color of the skin. Do remember to always apply sunscreen before going out when you do this, otherwise that area will tan darkly.

Alternatively, you can use a ball of freshly kneaded dough, dip it in olive oil and rub the entire "hairy" area mildly with it for about 10 minutes. This will remove hair from the roots. You must do this at least thrice a week for at least six months, or till the hair stops growing back. This is the only method that will ensure that you are permanently rid of the unwanted hair.
