Many people experience undesirable facial hair, especially due to hormonal changes. However, there are many therapies available to help eliminate or alleviate this problem, from natural ingredients you can make at home to more complex procedures that are better done in the salon. .

Steps

Method 1 of 4: Pluck or destroy the hair

1. 

   Use tweezers to extract facial hair. This is one of the most common ways to remove facial hair. This works best when there is not too much hair on the face. For example, if there are only 1-2 black hairs on the chin, then using tweezers is the best way.
   • Disinfect tweezers with isopropyl alcohol before and after hair removal to avoid infection. Gently stretch the skin around where the hair is to be pulled. Clip it close to the bristles and pull out firmly.
   • Plucking is inexpensive but time consuming. This can also be painful and cause ingrown hairs if the hairs remain under the skin. You can prevent ingrown hairs by gently pulling the hair out instead of tugging it with tweezers.
   • It may take about 3-8 weeks for the hair to start regrowing after pulling.

2. 

   
   
   Try a disposable or disposable razor for wet shave. Apply shaving gel or soap to the chin or above the lips. Slide the blade over the skin's surface in the direction of hair growth.
   • You can use an electric razor for dry or wet shaving. Be careful not to scratch your skin. Some areas of the face, such as the chin, can be difficult to shave with a knife.
   • After shaving, hair regrowth very quickly. The hair can return within a few hours to a few days.

3. 

   
   
   Try trimming with thread. Trimming or twisting with thread is becoming increasingly popular for facial hair removal. This is most commonly used for brow styling, but you can also remove facial hair using this method.
   • The esthetician will twist a cotton thread around the hairs in the position to be pulled and then pull them out in rows.
   • Unlike wax waxing, thread trimming has the advantage of not causing inflammation to sensitive skin. Hair will regrow after a few weeks.
   • Some salons now have thread hair trimming services. You can try searching online or ask a salon you visit often to see if this service is available.

4. 

   
   
   Use a laser. The laser is very helpful in removing unwanted hair. The laser will emit heat and light rays to the roots of the hairs to prevent hair growth after a while.
   • It will take about 9 months or more to achieve the final results, but it is well worth it. This therapy is more expensive at first but will save you money in the end. One of the downsides to laser hair removal is that it can be painful. The advantage of this approach is that it permanently removes hair.
   • You may need several treatments to completely destroy the hair. Laser hair removal works best for people with light skin and dark hair.

5. 

   Try electrolysis. Electrolysis should be performed at the salon. This is the most time-consuming and effective procedure for small areas of skin that need hair removal, for example on the lips.
   • Electrolysis is performed with a small needle. Electric current is applied to each hair root and permanently destroys the hair.
   • Unlike laser treatments, electrolytic therapy can be used to remove white or yellow hair, which is most effective on lighter skin and darker hair. Treat it until the hair is destroyed.

Method 2 of 4: Use chemicals to remove hair

1. 

   Try waxing. You can use a wax remover at home or in the salon. Using wax will help remove the hair from the roots, so this is an effective way to have a smooth face. However, waxing can irritate the skin in some cases.
   • Use the applicator that comes with the hair removal kit to apply the warm wax to the desired location and then let it cool. Use your fingers to remove the cool wax from the skin in the opposite direction of the hair growth. Regular waxing can help reduce hair regrowth as this technique interferes with follicle growth.
   • If your skin is sensitive to wax, you can try sugar waxing, which is similar to wax removal. Add 2 cups diameter, 1/4 cup lemon juice to 1/4 cup water. Heat until a paste is made. Allow to simmer for 25 minutes to allow the mixture to turn amber brown. Let cool. Cover your skin with cornstarch or baby powder. Apply the mixture in the opposite direction of hair growth. Place a cloth on top and pull it out.

2. 

   Use hair removal cream. Hair removal creams are chemical products that help remove unwanted hair from the skin's surface. The chemical dissolves the hair into a gel-like substance.
   • Apply depilatory cream to the skin. Leave the depilatory cream on the skin for the length of time described in the product instructions. After the required amount of time, wipe off the depilatory cream with a clean cloth.
   • Hair will regrow after a few days of using depilatory cream. Hair removal creams can be purchased at a pharmacy as an over-the-counter product. The downside of hair removal creams is that they have a strong chemical smell.

3. 

   Try bleaching. Bleaching does not remove unwanted facial hair, but it can make it harder for it to show. The trick here is to make sure the product matches the skin tone.
   • If your facial hair grows heavily, this is not the solution for you. Bleaching regularly can irritate the skin. Therefore, you should test on a small patch of skin before using it on a large surface.
   • If you do bleach, stay out of the sun for at least 1 hour. Otherwise, the skin may experience a negative reaction.

Method 3 of 4: Find natural remedies

1. 

   Use a gelatin mask. You can make a gelatin mask at home to remove unwanted facial hair. Just 1 teaspoon of tasteless gelatin, 2-3 tablespoons of milk, 3-4 drops of lemon juice or 1-2 drops of lavender essential oil.
   • Mix the ingredients together and microwave for 15 seconds. Apply the mixture to your face and let it sit for a few minutes. Finally take off the mask.
   • Be sure not to apply the mixture near your eyebrows or eyes. When you peel off the mask, you will see unwanted facial hair (and blackheads) peeling off.

2. 

   Make an orange / lemon or apricot / honey scrub. Fruit-based scrubs can help remove unwanted facial hair without the need for harsh chemical products.
   • To make an orange / lemon skin scrub, mix the orange peel powder with lime peel powder, almond powder and oatmeal, 1 teaspoon each ingredient. Add 2 teaspoons of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of rose water. Mix until a mixture is formed. Apply the mixture to your face and let it sit for 5-8 minutes. Rub the mixture onto your skin in small circular motions. Finally wash your face with water. You may need to do this 2-3 times a week to see results.
   • To make an apricot scrub, add 1 cup of dried apricots in a blender to blend into a fine powder. Then add 1 teaspoon of honey. Apply the mixture to your face and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Rub the mixture into your skin in a small motion, then rinse your face off with warm water. It may take 2-3 times a week to use this scrubbing mixture to see a difference.

3. 

   Create a turmeric mixture. Turmeric has long been used in India to improve the appearance of the skin. You can make turmeric at home.
   • Only 1-2 teaspoons of turmeric and milk or water are needed. Mix into a mixture. Apply the mixture to your face and let it dry for 15-20 minutes. Finally rinse with warm water.
   • This mixture works best on thin facial hair. For thicker hairs, you can add the oats to the mixture.

4. 

   Try an egg mask. You can make another natural mask to remove facial hair from eggs. Prepare 1 egg white, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of cornstarch.
   • Beat the ingredients to blend and form a mixture. Apply the mixture to your face and let it dry into a thin layer mask.
   • Peel off the mask firmly and you will see the hair sticking on the mask.

Method 4 of 4: Prevent facial hair growth

1. 

   Drink basil (mint) tea. Mint tea lowers the amount of male hormones in the body, so if you drink enough, you will notice less facial hair growth.
   • Research published in scientific journals such as Phytotherapy Research (UK) found that women who drink basil tea can reduce the amount of testosterone (male hormone) in the blood sugar. Reducing the hormone testosterone helps the hair grow less.
   • Drink 2 cups of basil tea for at least 5 days per week.

2. 

   Use hair growth inhibitors. See a dermatologist for a prescription hair inhibitor. Hair inhibitors are plant-based products that can change the structure of hair follicles, making hair thinner and softer, and ultimately not growing.
   • Apply the cream to the area of ​​the face where you want to reduce hair growth. The cream will remain on the skin. Follow the instructions that come with the product to determine the frequency of use.
   • Hair growth inhibitors can be used in combination with other hair reduction methods such as thread trimming, waxing or tweezing.
   • Results may take 4-6 weeks.The amount of ice cream used in 2 months could cost more than 2 million VND.

3. 

   While there isn't a lot of evidence showing long-term effects, you can try brewing tea from celery. This herb slows down the growth of facial hair. Besides making it as a tea, you can also find this herb in capsule form. Just like with any natural herb, you need to consult your doctor before you want to use celery.
   • To make tea, you need 20 g of dried celery root, 4 1/4 cups of water, and 1 teaspoon of honey. Boil the water with the celestial root and then simmer for 30 minutes. Great grandchildren get water.
   • Add honey to tea. Drink 3 times a day. You may need to keep the tea in the refrigerator. Drinking high doses of narcotic tea can have side effects. Do not use the herb if you have liver disease or liver cancer. It is best to consult your doctor before taking it.

4. 

   Deal with hormone problems. Sometimes hair grows more due to a hormone problem, for example during menopause. This is a condition that should be diagnosed by a doctor.
   • Sometimes, doctors will prescribe birth control pills to help resolve problems with hormones. Certain underlying medical conditions can also cause facial hair to develop, for example polycystic ovary syndrome.
   • Eat foods rich in phytoestrogens or phytoestrogens. Eating foods containing this ingredient can help cure an estrogen imbalance. However, you should still consult your doctor. Increasing estrogen levels can slow hair growth. Licorice, alfalfa, fennel and flax seeds are all natural foods that contain phytoestrogens
   • Basically, phytoestrogen mimics the role of estrogen in the body.

Warning

• Try applying the top hair removal cream to a small area of ​​skin before applying it to a larger area of ​​skin to check for signs of skin irritation. Hair removal creams also have a strong chemical smell, which can cause skin burns, peeling, blisters, and allergic reactions.
• Shaving with shaving can cause ingrown hairs. This can also cause cuts in the skin. Use shaving lotions or gels to reduce irritation.
• Most importantly, you should see your doctor if you think you are having a hormone imbalance.
• Wax waxing can cause pain and irritation and / or bleeding. Carefully follow the instructions that come with the home wax remover kit.
