Shaving, depilatory creams, waxing with hot, cold or oriental wax ... all means are good to get rid of unwanted hair. Although they play a protective role on the skin and mucous membranes, they are generally not accepted by women who wage war on them. If you are one of those women who can not stand the hair, especially in the armpits, here is a natural paste that will help you to eliminate them permanently and efficiently.
Although the presence of hair in the armpits does not influence the amount of sweat produced by the body, when they are fairly abundant, they can promote the sensation of moisture and bad odors of perspiration. This is why many women resort to shaving or waxing to eliminate them. Unfortunately, these techniques offer only short-term efficacy, since the hair does not take long to repel and also involves multiple risks of injury or burns.
To avoid all this, we offer you a paste composed of natural ingredients that will help you to get rid of the hairs under your armpits while taking care of your skin.
A 100% natural depilatory paste
To prepare your depilatory paste, you will need the following ingredients:
- ½ cup turmeric powder
- Rose water
- Warm water
- A clean towel
Preparation:
In a bowl, mix the turmeric with the rose water, to obtain a thick paste. Then apply it on your armpits, and rub gently by drawing circular motions. Leave on for 20 to 30 minutes, before wiping your armpits using the towel that you have previously soaked in warm water. When finished, pat dry. This tip gives very satisfactory results on fine hairs. By using it 2 to 3 times a week, this paste will help you to weaken the hair follicles and therefore to prevent hair growth. In addition, turmeric helps bleach the skin darkened by shaving and repeated use of deodorants, and rose water hydrates it.
If you do not have rose water at your disposal, you can substitute it with whole milk which, thanks to its richness in nutrients and lactic acid, will also help you to whiten your skin, moisturize.
Another trick to get rid of unwanted hair:
Ingredients:
- Sodium bicarbonate
- Some water
Preparation:
In a bowl, pour the baking soda and add a small amount of water to obtain a fairly consistent paste. In the evening, before bedtime, apply the paste on your armpits, and let it act all night. By hardening, the bicarbonate greatly softens the hair, facilitating its elimination, and slowing down the regrowth of a new one. The next morning, rinse the treated area thoroughly with clear water, then apply your usual oil or moisturizer to prevent skin dryness. For best results, you can renew the application of this trick the next night.
In addition to helping you eliminate unwanted hair, baking soda will help you remove the bacteria responsible for strong sweat odor, purify your skin and whiten it.
