painful and very expensive.
There are, however, natural
treatments that you can use on
facial hair to make it less
visible, or remove it altogether.
So, if facial hair is a problem
for you, here are ten of the best
tips on how to remove facial
hair naturally.
1. Spearmint tea
Hirsutism can be caused by too
much of the hormone androgen
being in the body and, in a
study conducted in Turkey, it
was found that drinking
spearmint tea can reduce the
levels of androgen in the body.
You can easily make spearmint
tea at home by adding four or
five peppermint leaves to
boiling water and leaving it to
steep for ten minutes.
2. Oatmeal scrub
Another good tip on how to
remove facial hair naturally is
to use oatmeal scrub. Oatmeal
is a soft enough ingredient to
use as a scrub even on the
sensitive skin. It also has other
skin care benefits too, so it will
also help to improve the
complexion. To make an
oatmeal scrub, mix half a
tablespoon of ground oatmeal
with a tablespoon of honey and
a few drops of lemon juice.
Gently rub the mixture into
your face, against the direction
that the hairs are growing and
it will gradually remove the
hairs.
3. Turmeric
Turmeric has been used in
China and India for centuries
as a way to slow the growth of
facial hair. Simply add natural
yoghurt to turmeric to make a
paste. Massage the paste into
your face and leave it on for
five minutes before washing
off again. If you repeat this
regularly, it is said that
turmeric will slow, and
eventually stop, the growth of
facial hair.
