Hair removal folk remedies

It is no secret that wax and sugaring have been known to beauties since the time of queens and concubines of harems. Russian women got acquainted with such hair removal methods relatively recently, but this did not prevent them from looking beautiful and taking care of themselves. Hair removal at home (folk remedies, using improvised materials) is an effective procedure that is not rightfully forgotten.

Epilation is a procedure for removing hair from the root. Depilation on the body involves the removal of only the epidermal part of the hair. Folk methods know more than one remedy that helps to get rid of unwanted vegetation for a long time.

The combination of iodine with ammonia is difficult to attribute to hair removal and depilation. The mixture is used to treat the skin after the removal of vegetation from the root.

So, to get a miraculous liquid, mix:

• iodine - 25 ml;
• ethyl alcohol or formic acid - 40 ml;
• ammonia - 20 ml;
• castor oil - 30 ml.

A huge advantage here is the availability of ingredients that can be found in any pharmacy.

Freshly prepared mixture has a yellow tint.It is not recommended to use the product in this form, because the skin can be stained. To avoid this, you need to infuse the mixture for 3-6 hours. When the liquid becomes clear, it is applied to the skin immediately after epilation by any method - for example, wax or a mechanical epilator. The procedure is repeated 3 days 1-2 times.

Another folk method widely used in the Caucasus is the removal of vegetation with the help of a walnut. For this purpose, a green, unripe or mature, unheated walnut is needed. In the first case, the juice is used, which appears when a young nut is cut. The second option is a two-week infusion of alcohol with fetal partitions. As a result, the same iodine is formed, which was used in the first folk method. Use the tincture after removing the hair from the root.

Some girls decide not to remove their hair, but to make it invisible. Such an original solution to the problem will become possible if you mix ammonia (half a teaspoon), 3 tablets of hydroperite, 1 tablespoon of water and 2 tablespoons of shaving foam.

A thick mass with a pungent smell of ammonia is applied to a skin area (for example, on the hands) and wait half an hour. After that, it is washed off with water. The skin is moisturized with any cream. Vegetation after such a procedure becomes much lighter and less noticeable.

Folk methods suggest that we use dioecious nettle to remove hairs, namely, its seeds. Those same earrings on high nettles can help in depilation of vegetation.

Harvested in the summer, they are converted into nettle oil. For such a transformation, it is necessary to crush 50 g of seeds and mix them with 100 ml of oil. Olive oil is a good solution. The product should be kept in a dark place for two weeks. As a result, you will receive an oil solution that must be applied to the skin for 1-2 months.

It is worth noting that some users note that stinging nettle, even in combination with oil, can leave burns on the body. Therefore, before using such a remedy, it is important to test for sensitivity on a small area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe skin.

With the help of folk methods, you can make your own wax. To do this, you will need 2 cups of thick or candied honey, 2 cups of sugar and one lemon or a bag of citric acid. All ingredients are mixed and sent to a water bath until sugar is completely dissolved. After that, the mixture is cooled to a comfortable warm temperature and applied to the body. Hair is removed with a tissue strip applied to the treated area.

Another method that is gaining popularity is hair removal with a gelatin mask. It has the same stickiness and density that is characteristic of all hair removal products. It is worth saying that gelatin for hair removal is also sold ready-made, but it is wiser and more reliable to prepare a mask at home.

So, for cooking you need:

• unswollen gelatin - 15 g;
• milk;
• 2 drops of lavender oil

All ingredients are mixed and heated in the microwave for 20 seconds. A warm mass is applied to the epilated area and left for several minutes until completely solidified. The resulting strips with hairs attached to them are removed with sharp movements.

Aspirin is a remedy that helps with ingrown hairs and prevents them from growing in. To prepare a paste, two tablets of the drug are stirred in a small amount of water until a slurry is formed, while adding a little honey. The mixture is applied for 10 minutes and washed off with warm water.

Castor oil is not an independent remedy, but it is considered an excellent base for the preparation of various mixtures - for example, with dioica nettle or iodine.

The oil is mixed in proportions of 2 to 1. Aggressive substances in this case are significantly softened and neutralized to some extent, and the skin becomes velvety after the procedures.

You can depilate unnecessary vegetation without removing the bulbs using pine nuts. Shells and husks can be used for this purpose in different ways.

2 tablespoons of the shell is poured into a glass of water and insisted in a water bath for 20 minutes. Broth process unnecessary vegetation. According to users, after the first procedure, the hair begins to break, and after that it completely disappears, becoming weak and almost invisible.

Another way is to turn cedar husks and shells into ash.The powder is sifted through a sieve and mixed with water. The infusion treats certain areas. However, some girls are advised to boil the ashes for 2 hours, thereby increasing the concentration of active substances.

Turmeric is an extremely useful spice used not only to improve the taste of dishes and enrich it with useful vitamins, but also as the main component in masks from unwanted vegetation.

Some recipes suggest mixing turmeric with egg white and a little water until it becomes a paste. The resulting mixture is infused until the turmeric swells, and then applied to the surface. After hardening, the body is rinsed with warm water. Turmeric cannot destroy the hair follicle, however, it is in its power to slow down the growth of vegetation, and therefore it is recommended to cover the body with the mixture on skin already cleansed of hair.

The spice provides not only a slowdown in hair growth, it gives the skin elasticity and velvety. However, there is a significant drawback in the recipe. Yellowish spots after the procedures can remain not only on the skin, but also on clothes.

Folk recipes for removing vegetation are numerous, because women in every era tried to take care of themselves, coming up with new tricks. For a long time and to this day, dope oil tincture, made from seeds and leaves of grass, has been popular. Our ancestors believed that it could cloud the mind if taken internally.

Previously, beauties used a decoction of dope ordinary in order to reduce the growth of vegetation. Its preparation is divided into the following types:

• oil tincture, which can be found in a specialized store;
• decoction;
• alcohol tincture, available both for self-preparation and in the form of ready-made jars.

For alcohol tincture and decoction, 100 g of dry dope seeds are enough. The root is not used for this purpose. In the first case, the grass is poured with half a glass of alcohol, in the second - with a glass of water.

The use of such an infusion causes a lot of controversy on the Internet. Some girls apply the composition only to the area cleared of hair. One way or another, exceptional regularity of procedures, as well as healthy skin (without scratches, pimples and other suppurations) will lead to lightening and disappearance of hair. It is recommended to use dope daily - in courses of 2-3 months, taking breaks a month long. Possible areas of use are hands and feet.

Bold experimenters are happy to share their methods by which they remove unwanted vegetation.In the absence of any modern means at home, you can use baking soda. Its use consists in preparing a slurry of soda and boiling water, further cooling the mixture to a warm state and applying it to the skin. The surface is covered with gauze and kept for 11 hours or all night. The procedure is repeated for two weeks.

You can also use unripe green grapes, after squeezing the juice out of it. Lubricate the skin will need daily.

Reviews of folk methods of hair removal and depilation are very controversial. Ladies note the naturalness of the ingredients, while experts and cosmetologists talk about the toxicity of some products.

Iodine and walnuts do help some women, but lead to an excess of iodine in the body. Such a problem can “resolve”, but in some cases it is necessary to treat the thyroid gland.

Other methods are also being discussed vigorously. For example, caramel and homemade honey wax perfectly replace shugaring and waxing with ready-made strips from the manufacturer.

The rest of the methods raise more questions than positive emotions. Girls come to the unanimous opinion that ready-made formulations and modern methods make the hair removal procedure faster and more effective.
