My Nana Swears by This Trick to Painlessly Get Rid of Unwanted Facial Hair

For generations, women have searched for natural ways to deal with unwanted facial hair without the pain of waxing or the irritation of shaving. My nana always believed that the simplest remedies are often the best—and she passed down a trick that actually works.


🌿 The Secret Blend

The trick involves using natural kitchen ingredients that gently loosen fine hair at the root while also nourishing the skin. The most common mix is:

  • Chickpea flour (besan) – exfoliates and weakens hair roots.
  • Turmeric – brightens skin and reduces hair growth over time.
  • Milk or yogurt – soothes the skin and keeps it soft.

🧴 How to Use It

  1. Mix 2 tablespoons of chickpea flour with a pinch of turmeric.
  2. Add just enough milk or yogurt to form a smooth paste.
  3. Apply the paste evenly to the areas with unwanted hair.
  4. Let it dry for 15–20 minutes.
  5. Gently rub it off in an upward motion, then rinse with lukewarm water.
