Turmeric: The kitchen staple that tackles unwanted facial hair

Women often use tweezers, depilatory creams, wax strips, or lasers. However, few of us know that there is a cheaper alternative to store-bought cosmetics and professional treatments. It's a certain product that is a staple in many kitchens and is widely available in stores.

Many women struggle with facial hair. Though it’s natural, we often remove it regularly. We visit beauty salons or do it ourselves at home. Instead of spending money on expensive, specialized products, we can use items most likely already in our kitchen.

Turmeric, an Indian spice, not only gives dishes an intense yellow colour and stands out with its unique aroma, but it is also valued for its taste properties. Recently, drinking it with warm water and lemon in the morning has become popular. It has also been discovered that turmeric can help fight facial hair.

This spice is known for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. Not everyone knows that it can also lighten hair and slow its growth.

To remove facial hair, an appropriate mixture must be prepared, and we will also need two other ingredients. All we need is:

• 1 tablespoon of ground turmeric,
• 180 ml of yogurt (milk can also be used as a substitute),
• 2 tablespoons of chickpea flour.

Mix all the ingredients until a uniform paste is formed. Apply the prepared mixture to unwanted hair and leave it on as a kind of mask for about 15-20 minutes. Then, using a paper towel soaked in warm water, simply wipe off the paste, and you're done. The facial hair will disappear without a trace!
