Ask any individual and they will tell you what a painful task it is to remove unwanted body hair. Add to it the side effects of using products such as hair removal creams on the skin, and the issue is made worse. So, to reduce the pain and get the job done without any side effects, here are some natural hair removal methods that you can try.

Sugar wax
Using sugar wax is one of the natural hair removal methods that have become quite popular among women across the world. The best part about using sugar wax to remove unwanted body hair is that it is 100 percent natural and can be made at home. All you will need is:

• Sugar – 200g
• Lemon juice – 60ml
• Water – 60ml

To make this mix, add all the ingredients in a saucepan and keep stirring to combine them. Heat the saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil. Once it starts boiling, bring down the heat but keep stirring. When you see the mixture turning golden-brown, remove the pan from heat. Fill the mixture in a jar and leave to cool down for 30 minutes. Now, take some wax in your hands and roll it into a ball. Also, before you apply the wax, clean the area of the skin, and pat it dry. Now, start spreading the ball of wax on the skin. Allow it to cool on the area for some time. Then lift one corner of the wax and rip it off in the opposite direction of the growth of your hair. Once the waxing is done, clean the area with warm water.

Papaya and turmeric paste
Papaya carries an enzyme known as papain, which is known for reducing the growth of hair. Turmeric has medicinal properties that can fight bacteria and hence, it is considered best even for sensitive skin.

To make this paste, take a small amount of raw papaya and smash it to turn into a pulp. Add about 1 to 2 tablespoons of turmeric powder to this pulp. Thoroughly mix the two ingredients and then apply the paste on the face and on the body. Let it dry for approximately 15 to 20 minutes, after which you must rinse it off. For best results, make sure that you apply this paste at least once or twice a week for two to three months regularly.

Pumice stone
If you thought pumice stone can only be used to remove dead skin, you are in for a surprise. Pumice stone is rough in texture, which means it removes all the unwanted hair from your skin. Also, there are no chemicals involved so this is a 100 percent natural remedy to remove hair. Take a dry pumice stone and start rubbing it on your skin, which also has to be dry. Do it in circular motions and let the pores get attached to the hair and pull them out from the skin. To avoid any excess dryness, make sure to moisturize your skin afterwards.
