Both men and
women around the world often struggle with unwanted facial hair. While men
usually just shave their beards and mustaches, women do not have this luxury as
the hair is often far more fine and delicate. Instead, the majority of women
trying to rid their upper lips, chins, and eyebrows of hair are stuck tweezing,
waxing, threading, or using chemical creams. The chemicals found in
conventional waxes at salons are often harsh on skin and can lead to breakouts.
Instead of wasting money on other treatments, check out this easy, DIY wax you
can make right at home.
Simply combine a
half cup of warm water with a half cup of lemon juice. Stir in 2 dl of sugar
until a thick paste is made. Place the mixture on the area of skin where hair
needs to be removed. Cover the wax with a cloth strip (old flannel shirts can
be torn into scraps) and then quickly remove. Wipe off any access with a
warm, wet washcloth.
Do not forget to
moisturize the skin both before and after to avoid any irritation. This can be
done naturally using grapeseed or jojoba oils, which can help reduce
inflammation and redness. Applying witch hazel after a wax can also help
prevent against bacteria that may gravitate towards the recently treated skin.
Prior to using any waxes or creams, whether homemade or store bought, a patch
test should always be done on the arm to ensure there are no allergies that could
lead to breakouts or irritation.
For those who suffer from citrus allergies, an
alternative home made alternative may be necessary. Making a paste from
turmeric, flour, and milk. Place the paste on the skin and once it has dried,
peel the mixture off. Remember to moisturize with any and all methods of hair
removal, as skin is especially sensitive to the face. While this and the above
wax may cause a bit of pain or irritation, it’s a far more natural – and
inexpensive – way to remove stubborn facial hair.

While nearly all
women have some sort of unwanted facial hair, it doesn’t have to mean a costly
trip to the waxing salon or threader. Instead, DIY waxes and depilatories offer
a great alternative to those with sensitive skin, aversions to chemicals, or
just thrifty gals that want to do as much at home as they can.
