Tips to remove facial hair at home 

All women have facial hair, but they are mostly thin and go unnoticed. Thick facial hair might seem odd on the face. There are many easy to do home remedies that work in such situations. Here are 5 tips to remove facial hair naturally at home: 

1. Sugar honey 

Sugar and honey mixture is one of the best natural ways to remove facial hair at home. Sugar plays the role of a mild exfoliator on  the surface of the skin that helps in getting rid of dead skin cells and facial hair. On the other hand, honey is an effective kitchen ingredient to heal and nourish the skin during the hair removal process. You can make a peel off mask using both the ingredients. Mix honey and sugar and let it melt in a microwave. Apple the paste on the hairy area of your face and paste a piece of cotton cloth over it. Pull it off in one go, preferably in the opposite direction of your hair growth. 

2. Egg white and cornstarch 

Egg white is sticky and can help in creating a thin layer over the surface of your skin if mixed with sugar and cornstarch. This natural remedy is not suggested for acne prone skin as egg white has Vitamin A present in it and it can cause acne breakouts. Just take one tablespoon of cornstarch and one of sugar, to mix with an egg white. Apply the mixture on the hairy areas of your skin. Then, peel it off in one quick motion once it is dry.
