Unwanted facial hair is a very common problem that is faced by a large number of people. Women generally tend to get concerned by the presence of excessive and unwanted dense or dark hair growth, whether it is on the face or any other body part. Hair growth in men is thick and dense; this is mainly on account of the male hormone known as testosterone. Such kind of an excessive hair, also otherwise referred to as hirsutism, in women can be caused due to a large number of reasons. Menopause, stress, certain drugs and medications, genetic factors, hormonal changes and puberty could all cause excessive hair growth in women.
A few home remedies however can help in getting rid of unwanted facial hairs. Tweezing is a very common and popularly used method to get rid of such unwanted body hair. Agreed that this does involve a slight element of pain, but as the hair is being taken out from the root, they will not grow back that fast. Mix together a teaspoon of sugar and a tablespoon each of water and lime, so as to form a thick paste. Apply a generous layer of this mixture on the concerned area and leave it to dry for about 10-15 minutes. Thereafter, rinse it off with cold water. This treatment should be performed twice a week, regularly, till one begins to notice a visible difference. Make a thick paste by mixing together four tablespoons of honey with one tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice. This paste works as an effective face mask that will help in getting rid of any unwanted hair. Apply a thin layer of this paste on your forehead. Make sure that the application is being made in the direction opposite to that of the hair growth. After 10-15 minutes, when the paste has dried off, rinse it off with lukewarm water.
Blend together, the white of one egg, with half a tablespoon of corn flour and one tablespoon of sugar. Keep blending the three till you get a thick sticky paste. Apply a thick layer of this paste onto your forehead and leave it to dry. On drying, gently peel it off. This remedy should be performed every alternate day, in-order to achieve the desired results. A paste made from a tablespoon of gram flour and one teaspoon of milk also serves as an effective face mask, which will help in getting rid of the unwanted hair.
