Women have shaved their little "mustache" for years using some wax and suffering burns and skin irritation. I had no idea that some women actually shaved their entire face! I did a little research and found out that shaving your entire face is delicate and pricey. To get the job done properly you should do a laser treatment or dermaplaning to take that layer of skin off safely. Professional makeup artist swear that shaving your face allows moisturizers and products to really get under your skin and repair it. They also say that most female celebrities do it to retain make up better. Hmm, I'm not really convinced!
You can buy little razors for your face, but you have to use them on dry skin. Ouch! Unlike men, you can't buy shaving cream for women because they don't sell it. Fortunately, there are natural solutions to get rid of facial hair that do not involve shaving, these are our favorites.
1. Lemon and olive oil mask: Make a mask mixing one teaspoon of powdered lemon, one teaspoon of brown sugar, two teaspoons of olive oil and one teaspoon of rose water. Mix all the ingredients together until you have a paste. Apply on the face and leave it up to ten minutes and rinse. Repeat three times a week to lose the hair.
2. Oatmeal scrub: Make your own scrub mixing half a teaspoon of ground oatmeal, with one tablespoon of honey and seven drops of lemon juice. Apply it on your face, scrub the area and leave it for fifteen minutes. Wash and repeat two or three times a week.
3. Indian nettle and turmeric cream: Crush a handful of leaves and mix them with one tablespoon of turmeric powder and a few drops of almond oil until it reaches a creamy consistency. Apply the mixture on the hair you want to remove before bed and leave it overnight. Wash your face in the morning with water and soap and you'll see the results in about six weeks.
