Green gram flour and rose water
Green gram flour has great exfoliating properties and when it’s coupled with rose water, it helps to inhibit hair growth. Simply combine 2 tablespoons of green gram and 1-2 tablespoons of rose water, then add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and mix until well combined. Apply this concoction to the affected area, then leave it for 20-25 minutes or until completely dry. Once dry, rub it off with your fingers. Repeat this procedure 3-4 times a week.

Lavender oil and tea tree oil
Lavender and tea tree oil have antiandrogenic properties, which help to remove unwanted hair. This solution is especially good for oily and acne-prone skin types. Simply combine 1 teaspoon of lavender oil with 4-6 drops of tea tree oil, and mix them together until well combined. Then, apply it to unwanted facial hair using cotton balls. Repeat this 2-3 times a day for at least 3 months.
Honey and sugar
This peel-off mask removes all unwanted hair instantly and exfoliates dead skin cells. Simply combine 1 tablespoon of honey, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of water. Put them in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until the sugar dissolves, then apply this concoction to places with unwanted hair. Place a strip of cloth over the applied mixture, let cool for a couple of seconds, then pull the cloth in the opposite direction of hair growth.
Potato and lentil paste
Dried lentils make it easier for your hair to be pulled out, and potatoes have natural bleaching properties, which help lighten your remaining hairs and make them less visible. Soak 1 cup of yellow lentils overnight, then in the morning, run the lentils through a food processor to crush them into a thick paste. Put 1 potato in the food processor and blend it well. sieve the crushed potato to extract as much potato juice as possible, mix the potato juice with the lentil paste, then add 1 tablespoon of honey and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the mixture. Apply the paste to the affected area and leave it for about 20-30 minutes, then once fully dry, remove it with your fingers. Repeat this 1 to 2 times a week.
