Homemade Hair Removal Products From Common Household Ingredients

Organic, green, natural and homemade are the buzzwords these days. The media is filled with reports, photos, and articles that suggest a more natural approach to living. Walk through any bookstore and you'll find rows of books that cater to people looking for a more simple way of doing things.
There is information out there that can tell you how to heal yourself of illness and discomfort by using common, everyday items you already have in your kitchen or medicine cabinet.  Got a headache?  Don't take medication, trying drinking a glass of water instead.
That headache could be caused by dehydration.  Burn your finger cooking dinner?  Break off a piece of that Aloe Vera plant and smear it on the burn.  Need to remove some unwanted hair?  Well, there are natural homemade options for that problem, too.
So, let's talk about hair removal.  Most people have unwanted hair they would like to be rid of.  How about using a natural approach?  Creating a homemade hair removal product that is safe, inexpensive and effective is easier than you think.
Turmeric is a common spice used in Asian and Indian cooking.  Turmeric is one of the spices used in curry dishes.  You can use turmeric mixed with flour to make a paste that will not only remove fine hair, but will also deter hair growth over time with continued use. This paste is perfect for female facial hair.  It also softens and brightens the skin.  What a bonus.
Honey, molasses, sugar, and lemon juice are additional food-grade ingredients you can use to make homemade hair removers.  Mixing honey, sugar and lemon juice over low heat will yield an all-natural paste that can be used like wax to remove unwanted hair.
Just apply the warm mixture to your unwanted hair and use clean cotton strips to pull the paste and hair from your skin.   Molasses, brown sugar and lemon juice can be used to make another version of sugaring paste.
Using either of these will allow you to safely remove your unwanted hair, knowing you are using a clean, natural product you made yourself.
After using your homemade hair remover, you can fight those ingrown hairs, bumps and red irritation with another easy home remedy.  Mix rubbing alcohol with crushed aspirin by shaking it very well.  Use this mixture like a toner after hair removal, applying it with a clean cotton ball.  You'll be amazed at the clear, smooth skin revealed by a recipe that literally costs pennies to make.
Going natural doesn't mean you have to live with your unwanted hair.  Using everyday ingredients can translate into saving money and monitoring your health as you rid yourself of unwanted hair. Homemade hair removal is a simple and cost-effective option for anyone wishing to go natural.-By Mary Beth Johnson

Ingrown Pubic Hair - Get Rid Of It Now!

In today's world of fitness and fashion, it's becoming the mode (again) to have a clean and bald look at the pubic area. Why the word 'again'?

The ancient Greeks, Egyptians and Indians preferred this look, and perfected ways to accomplish it.

They also knew how to deal with ingrown pubic hair, so let's look at some tried and trusted ways to take care of this problem.

What is an ingrown pubic hair?

An ingrown pubic hair is one that grows at an abnormal angle and turns back into the skin, causing the formation of a pustule or papule (A small, solid inflammatory elevation of the skin that may or may not contain pus.

Also commonly known as "razor bumps"). This is unsightly and an unwanted side-effect to the bald look.

How do you get it?

There are many ways, but the most common way is to shave with a razor in the opposite direction of the natural hair growth.

The pubic hair can also be trapped beneath the skin from blockages to the hair follicle (also caused by shaving in many cases). Also the other hair removal methods such as shaving, waxing, tweezing, electrolysis, often irritate the hair follicle, and the hair becomes trapped beneath the skin.

What do I do now?

There are many ways to treat it.

The best way, as in all medicine, is prevention. In Part 2 of this series we explain how to prevent ingrown pubic hair, but now you need first aid.

So here are the proven methods, some taken from the ancient Greeks and Egyptians who had the same problem 3000 years ago.

oUnderstanding that the body will try to eliminate the ingrown pubic hair itself, help it along. Go to a sauna, and when you have built up a good sweat, lightly scrub (meaning exfoliate, i.e. take off the dead skin) with a "loofa".

A loofa is a marine plant that grows in the Nile, and resembles a coarse sponge. You can find it at any store that sells bath products.

oAfter the sauna, and scrubbing, the ingrown hair may be free (due also to the dilation of the pores while in a sauna), and have a sterilized tweezers ready (the ancient method).

Pluck them out! One by one. You must stretch the skin tightly, grips the hair close to the root, and pull it out. Ouch! But it works. After each pluck, dab on some antiseptic solution.

oIf the above is not suitable for you, then you can do a three times a day compress on the affected area with a wash cloth soaked hot water (not too hot!), followed by the application of any product containing salicylic acid.

Salicylic acid is a strong exfoliating chemical that is useful to free such hair.

Ask your pharmacist to recommend such a product. There are many on the market.

oThe daily use of the compress will help the body fix the problem, but also, you can apply some baby oil mixed with Aloe Vera lotion (make it yourself).

This will keep the skin from becoming further irritated, and the Aloe Vera is a natural antiseptic which will help prevent infection at the affected site.

Of course, there are salon specialists, but their methods will be expensive, and no more effective than the above.

You can also see your doctor, as in everything of this nature, the ingrown hair may not be a simple problem.

Ingrown Pubic Hair - Six Tips

Ingrown hairs are known as Psuedofolliculitis Barbae (PFB), razor bumps, razor burn, hair bumps, shaving bumps, ingrowns.
Psuedofolliculitis Barbae refers to hair which has been cut or broken off below the skin level which then begins to grow through surrounding tissue rather than out of the follicle.
In other cases, it curls round and starts growing back into the skin causing irritation and inflammation.
If you shave the pubic area, you remove the tapered end, and as the it grows back without that tapered end, the sharpness will literally cut the skin surrounding the hair follicle.


Use these simple precautions to minimize the discomfort from ingrown pubic hairs:
#1
For ingrown pubic hairs along the bikini line, hold a hot compress against ingrown spots for ten minutes three times a day to soften the skin and help the hairs work their way out.
#2
Wear loose-fitting underwear and clothing until the bumps are gone to avoid friction.
#3
Some find it helpful to exfoliate the area before waxing. This removes some of the dead skin cells in the top layer of skin cells that often contribute to trapping the hairs.
Exfoliating options include creams, lotions, or body gels, a slightly abrasive washcloth or glove specifically designed for exfoliation. Check at the beauty counter at your local department store.
#4
Do not exfoliate the skin if you already have ingrown pubic hairs as further skin irritation may result.
#5
When waxing, be sure to pull the hair out by the roots. Do not allow the hair to break below the skin surface.
#6
Use a specially formulated treatment (see below). It prevents pubic ingrown hair and eliminates existing ingrown hair within days.
Additional note: For ingrown hairs which are deep, sterilize a pair of needle-nosed tweezers with rubbing alcohol and individually lift each ingrown hair out of its follicle. Wipe the area with alcohol afterwards and shave.
If needle-nosed tweezers are not available, wipe a pin or needle and the ingrown area with rubbing alcohol, then carefully release the hair in the direction that it grows using the tip of the needle only. After the hair is released, wipe the skin with alcohol again.m
