Removing unwanted body hair can be a frustrating and ongoing battle. From shaving to advanced technology, we invest a lot of time and money in the process. However, there's an ancient and natural method that both men and women have been using for centuries to get rid of unnecessary hair from their bodies. Surprisingly, the method involves a common kitchen spice found in everywhere - turmeric.
Turmeric, a plant from the ginger family, contains powerful antioxidants and has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. Along with its health benefits, turmeric is also recommended for external cosmetic use, such as caring for the skin's appearance. Turmeric has a unique ability that has been known for generations in Indian culture. It can effectively remove unwanted hair from the body.
Here's how it works: create a paste with turmeric and baking soda, apply it to the skin, and let it dry. Once dry, scrub it off to remove hair from the root. Turmeric also has the added benefit of shrinking hair follicles, which delays regrowth and makes the hair that grows back finer and thinner. While not permanent, this method weakens hair in the treated area. However, it's important to note that turmeric can dry out the skin, so those with dry or sensitive skin should perform a test on a small area first. Regardless, it's always a good idea to apply moisturizer after removing the paste.
It is recommended to perform a skin test on a concealed area of your body before applying the turmeric paste on your face or visible areas, as the paste can color the skin yellow.
To achieve optimal results and reduce hair growth rate and amount, it is advisable to repeat the method after hair growth.
To make the turmeric paste, mix baking soda powder with turmeric powder in a ratio of 2:1. You can adjust the ratio to your liking to make a paste that is thick enough to stick to the skin.
For hair removal, you will need:
1. To use the paste, mix the baking soda and turmeric powder in a bowl, add water.
2. Use a brush to apply the paste on the area where you want to remove hair.
3. Wait until the paste dries completely, then you can remove it by gently scrubbing with your fingers.
4. Wash the treated area with soap or bath lotion to remove the yellow color from your skin.
5. Apply a moisturizer to keep your skin soft and smooth.
