Homemade Hair Removal Products From Common Household Ingredients

5:53:00 AM
Organic, green, natural and homemade are the buzzwords these days. The media is filled with reports, photos, and articles that suggest a more natural approach to living. Walk through any bookstore and you'll find rows of books that cater to people looking for a more simple way of doing things.
There is information out there that can tell you how to heal yourself of illness and discomfort by using common, everyday items you already have in your kitchen or medicine cabinet.  Got a headache?  Don't take medication, trying drinking a glass of water instead.
That headache could be caused by dehydration.  Burn your finger cooking dinner?  Break off a piece of that Aloe Vera plant and smear it on the burn.  Need to remove some unwanted hair?  Well, there are natural homemade options for that problem, too.
So, let's talk about hair removal.  Most people have unwanted hair they would like to be rid of.  How about using a natural approach?  Creating a homemade hair removal product that is safe, inexpensive and effective is easier than you think.
Turmeric is a common spice used in Asian and Indian cooking.  Turmeric is one of the spices used in curry dishes.  You can use turmeric mixed with flour to make a paste that will not only remove fine hair, but will also deter hair growth over time with continued use. This paste is perfect for female facial hair.  It also softens and brightens the skin.  What a bonus.
Honey, molasses, sugar, and lemon juice are additional food-grade ingredients you can use to make homemade hair removers.  Mixing honey, sugar and lemon juice over low heat will yield an all-natural paste that can be used like wax to remove unwanted hair.
Just apply the warm mixture to your unwanted hair and use clean cotton strips to pull the paste and hair from your skin.   Molasses, brown sugar and lemon juice can be used to make another version of sugaring paste.
Using either of these will allow you to safely remove your unwanted hair, knowing you are using a clean, natural product you made yourself.
After using your homemade hair remover, you can fight those ingrown hairs, bumps and red irritation with another easy home remedy.  Mix rubbing alcohol with crushed aspirin by shaking it very well.  Use this mixture like a toner after hair removal, applying it with a clean cotton ball.  You'll be amazed at the clear, smooth skin revealed by a recipe that literally costs pennies to make.
Going natural doesn't mean you have to live with your unwanted hair.  Using everyday ingredients can translate into saving money and monitoring your health as you rid yourself of unwanted hair. Homemade hair removal is a simple and cost-effective option for anyone wishing to go natural.-By

Sugaring Hair Removal - How To Get The Best Results

5:04:00 AM
Sugaring hair removal is very popular because it is:
  • inexpensive
  • easily done at home
  • kinder to the skin
  • results last some weeks in many cases
Some prefer sugaring hair removal over waxing as it is kinder to the skin whereas waxing preparations often contain harsher chemicals. Sugar paste is easily cleaned up with water whereas wax can be more messy as it has a petroleum base.
If sugaring hair removal is your choice for getting rid of unwanted body hair, take note of these tips and suggestions for optimum results:
  • To remove the hair by the root it must be at least 1/4 inch or 6 mm long. Longer hair should be trimmed to this length.
  • Hair must be clean and dry before starting hair removal sugaring.
  • Remove all creams and oils, towel dry and then apply talcum powder to ensure the skin is completely dry.
  • Apply the sugaring paste in the direction of the hair growth.
  • When pressing the cotton strip on top of the paste, leave a small section at the end free so it will be easy to hold when pulling back.
  • If using a spatula to apply the paste use the edge not the flat side. This will help ensure a very thin layer is applied.
  • Pull the strip back sharply against the direction of the hair growth. Do not lift the strip up or out away from the skin.
  • Hold the skin firmly with one hand while you pull the strip back sharply with the other hand.
  • Treat small areas at a time when hair removal sugaring on sensitive parts of the body.
  • When heating the paste, either by microwave or oven, be absolutely sure the paste is just warm to the touch not hot. Otherwise burns to the skin may result.
  • If using hot water to warm the paste container, be sure not to allow water into the paste. Sugar paste is water soluble and will be spoiled if the container is not sealed properly and water gets in.

Sugaring hair removal is quite safe as the ingredients in the paste are natural. They can also contain ingredients with healing properties such as citric acid and gum Arabic.With a little practice sugaring hair removal can be a very effective and economical method for getting rid of unwanted hair on any part of the body.
