- Prepare the Onion Paste: Peel the onion and chop it into small pieces. Blend the pieces into a smooth paste.
- Add Lemon Juice: Mix the onion paste with fresh lemon juice. The lemon helps lighten the hair and makes it easier to remove, while also acting as a natural astringent.
- Optional – Add Gram Flour: To enhance exfoliation, you can add a tablespoon of gram flour to the mixture. This also helps form a paste that sticks well to the skin.
- Apply to the Face: Apply the paste to areas with unwanted hair, such as the upper lip, chin, or jawline. Make sure to spread it evenly.
- Let It Sit: Leave the mixture on your face for 15-20 minutes or until it dries.
- Massage and Remove: Gently rub in circular motions to help remove the paste. This motion also works to pull out finer hairs.
- Rinse Off: Wash your face with lukewarm water and pat dry. Follow with a light moisturizer, as lemon can be slightly drying.
Frequency
- For best results, use this remedy 2-3 times a week. With consistent use, you may notice reduced hair growth in a few weeks.
Important Tips
- Patch Test First: Onions and lemon can be strong for sensitive skin. Do a small patch test to make sure you don’t experience irritation.
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Lemon juice can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Always apply sunscreen if you plan to go outside after using this remedy.
- Consistency is Key: Natural remedies take time to show results. Stick with it, and you may notice a reduction in hair growth over time.
By using this natural onion-based remedy regularly, you may be able to achieve softer, hair-free skin over time. This is a gentle, natural alternative to harsh chemical hair removal products.
