At-Home Facial Hair Removal Guide

All About Sugaring…

Did you know that it is possible to create your own waxing method at home using products found in your kitchen cabinet? Sounds unbelievable, right? *why didn’t we know this during those broke teenage years?* Certain ingredients help get rid of hair strands which have overstayed their welcome and sugar is one of them. Sugaring has actually gained popularity during this quarantine ‘coz of how easy and effective it is. And if you’re worried about the pain, au contraire, it is less painful than waxing and super gentle on your skin.

A little warning though, your first time isn’t going to be all that great, but with practice, you’ll get the hang of it.

Ingredients:

1 cup white sugar

1/8 cup lemon juice (or apple cider vinegar)

1/8 cup warm water

Method:

Add all the ingredients together in a pot and place it on the stove. Boil it and stir frequently to avoid burning. Once it starts bubbling, reduce the heat and continue stirring. Remove the pot when the mixture turns golden brown. If the consistency of your sugar paste is thick like honey, heat it a little longer until it looks like hot syrup. Transfer the mixture to another bowl and let it cool for 30 minutes, after which it should be slightly warm and easy to handle.

Prep:

There isn’t much prep when it comes to this form of facial hair removal technique. Just clean your skin and pat it dry. Using a butter knife or your fingers, apply the wax against the direction of the hair and gently press it onto your skin. Once you’ve done this, get a good grip of the wax and using a fast flicking motion, pull in the direction of the hair growth. Et, voila!

Other At-Home Facial Hair Removal Methods….’Coz Who Doesn’t Love Options

You know we are not going to leave you with just one facial hair removal guide, right? Here are a couple of other facial hair removal methods which you can try if you’re running low on sugar.

1.    Egging

This is another facial hair removal guide which when used regularly can make your skin supple and reduce hair growth. The egg white keeps the skin smooth and soft while the corn starch adds that thickness to the paste.

Here’s what you need to do:

Add two to three teaspoons of sugar, an egg and a spoonful of corn starch to a bowl and mix until you get a thick, smooth paste. Apply the mixture to a clean face and leave in on for 15 to 20 minutes before peeling it off.

2.    Threading

Yes, threading can be done at home and you don’t need anyone to help you out — only a 10” piece of cotton thread. We’re not going to lie; mastering the art of threading takes a little practice. But once you get the hang of it, you’ll never worry about facial hair again. If it’s your first time trying it, brace yourself for a trial and error round.

3.    Plucking

Plucking or tweezing is the oldest trick when it comes to facial hair removal guides. If your eyebrows need some grooming or your chin hair is starting to grow out, just grab your tweezers and pluck away. Be careful though ‘coz when it comes to eyebrows, people do have a tendency of getting carried away.

4.    Shaving

Face shaving is simple and effective if you’re looking for a quick option to get rid of that facial hair. The facial razors help remove the top layer of the dead skin along with your peach fuzz, all with a small scalpel, leaving you with smoother, radiant skin.

5.    Coiling

You’ve probably seen these little gadgets while shopping in the hair removal section. A spiral coil with two handles at both ends – yes, this is a facial hair removal tool. It’s similar to a tweezer but instead of plucking one hair at a time, it grabs on to a couple of strands and yanks it out from the root. This is great for removing peach fuzz and upper lip hair.

There you go, your very own facial hair removal guide and some added bonus techniques. Not only do they help get rid of peach fuzz but they also save you a trip to the salon.
