How to remove body hair naturally

Sugaring

If you are afraid of the pain of waxing, sugaring is for you. A paste made out of sugar helps remove body hair from its roots without pulling at the skin. This method was, in fact, used in ancient Egypt as a precursor to waxing. Legend tells us this is how Cleopatra used it for removing facial hair. One can make a sugaring paste at home with sugar, lemon and water heated together. Many people also add honey to this paste since it also has a waxy texture. There are also organic, paraben-free sugaring packs easily available online for those who do not have time to make a homemade paste.

Turmeric

There is a lot of scientific evidence behind the beauty benefits of the ancient Indian tradition of using turmeric (haldi) and milk on a bride-to-be. A paste made of turmeric and milk can be applied on the skin and rubbed off to get rid of dead skin as well as fine hair. Make this paste with turmeric and a teaspoon of milk—ensure the consistency is thick. Apply on the skin and scrub off after 20 minutes. In case the paste is too dry, you can also use coconut oil to remove it smoothly. If you have an urgent appointment immediately after and you don’t want to leave looking like a minion, rub off the yellow tint left behind by the turmeric with Lakme Bi-Phased Makeup Remover.
