Hair removal folk remedies

It is no secret that wax and shugaring have been known to beauties since the times of queens and concubines of harems. Russian women became acquainted with such methods of epilation relatively recently, but this did not prevent them from looking beautiful and caring for themselves. Hair removal at home (folk remedies, with the help of scrap materials) is an effective procedure that is not forgotten by right.

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

The combination of iodine with ammonia is difficult to attribute to epilation and depilation. The mixture is used to treat the skin after removal of the vegetation at 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. To use the tool in this form is not recommended, because the skin may stain. To avoid this, you need to insist the mixture for 3-6 hours. When the liquid becomes clear, it is applied to the skin immediately after epilation in any way — for example, with wax or a mechanical epilator. The procedure is repeated 3 days 1-2 times.

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

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

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

Traditional methods suggest us to use for the removal of hairs of dioecious nettles, namely, its seeds. Those earrings on high nettles can help in the depilation of vegetation.

Collected in the summer, they are converted to 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 tool should be kept for two weeks in a dark place.As a result, you get an oil solution that must be applied to the skin within 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 applying this tool, it is important to conduct a sensitivity test on a small area of ​​skin.

With the help of folk techniques you can personally prepare the 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 the 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 cloth strip attached to the treated area.

Another popular method is hair removal with a gelatin mask. It has the same stickiness and thickness characteristic of all hair removal products. It should be said that gelatin for hair removal is also sold in finished form, but it is more reasonable and safer to prepare a mask at home.

So, for cooking you need:

• undiluted 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 area to be depilated and left for a few minutes until fully cured. The formed strips with hairs fixed on them are removed with sharp movements.

Aspirin is a remedy that helps with ingrown hairs and prevents their ingrowth. To prepare the paste, two tablets of the medication 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 means, but it is considered an excellent base for the preparation of various mixtures - for example, with nettle nettle or iodine.

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

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

2 tablespoons of the shell poured a glass of water and insist on a water bath for 20 minutes. Broth process unnecessary vegetation. According to users, after the first procedure, the hair begins to break, and then completely disappears, becoming weak and almost invisible.

Another way - the transformation of cedar husks and shells into ashes. The powder is sifted through a sieve and mixed with water. Infusion process certain areas. However, some girls advise to boil the ashes for 2 hours, thereby increasing the concentration of active substances.

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

Some recipes offer to mix turmeric with egg white and a small amount of water before making a slurry. The resulting mixture is infused before swelling of turmeric, and then applied to the surface. After solidification, the body is rinsed with warm water. Turmeric cannot destroy a 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 a mixture on the skin that has already been cleared of hair.

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

Folk recipes for the removal of vegetation are numerous, because women in each era tried to look after themselves, inventing new tricks. For a long time and to this day, oil tincture of dope made from grass seeds and leaves has been popular. Our ancestors believed that it could cloud the mind, if you use it inside.

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

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

For alcohol tincture and decoction, 100 g of dry dope seeds are sufficient. The root for this purpose is not used. 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 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 a dope daily - courses in 2-3 months, taking breaks a month long. Possible areas of use are arms and legs.

You can permanently remove hair with boric acid. A three-percent solution is applied to the skin with a cotton swab, waiting for full absorption. The procedure is repeated several times, ending with the application of a moisturizer. A few weeks of constant use - and you will notice good results.

Bold experimenters gladly share their methods by which they remove unwanted vegetation. In the absence of any modern home appliances, you can use baking soda. Its use is to prepare 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 incubated 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 hair removal are very controversial. Ladies note the naturalness of the ingredients, while specialists and cosmetologists say about the toxicity of some products.

Iodine and walnuts do help some women, but they 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 vigorously debated. For example, caramel and homemade honey wax perfectly replace shugaring and waxing with ready-made strips from the manufacturer.

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