Facial hair is normal for both men and women. However, you may wish to remove the hair on your upper lip if it’s noticeable.
Practitioners of natural remedies offer a variety of hair removal remedies that focus on the upper lip. They claim that these remedies will not only remove hair but also reduce the rate of your hair growth and, when used over time, may result in permanent hair elimination.
Turmeric and milk
- Thoroughly mix 1 tablespoon of turmeric and 1 tablespoon of milk in a small bowl.
- Once mixed, use your fingers to gently apply the mixture to your upper lip.
- Once fully dry after about 20 minutes, gently rub with wet fingers — in the direction opposite to your hair growth — until the dried paste is completely removed.
- Rinse the area with cold water.
Egg white
- In a medium bowl, whisk 1 egg white with ½ teaspoon of corn flour and 1 tablespoon of sugar until a smooth paste forms.
- Use your fingers to apply the paste onto your upper lip.
- When dried after about 20 minutes, gently peel it off in the opposite direction of your hair growth.
- Rinse the area with cold water.
