4. Apply to the Skin:
Once the paste is mixed thoroughly, apply it to the areas of your face where you have unwanted hair. Common areas include the upper lip, chin, or jawline. Be sure to spread the mixture evenly for the best results.
5. Let It Sit:
Allow the paste to sit on your face for 15 to 20 minutes. During this time, it will dry and start to harden. The onion’s sulfur and lemon juice will be working on your hair follicles, weakening them and making it easier to remove unwanted hair.
6. Massage and Remove:
After 15-20 minutes, when the paste has dried, gently massage your face using circular motions. This will help loosen the dried paste and also aid in pulling out finer hairs from the skin. Be gentle to avoid skin irritation.
7. Rinse Off:
Wash your face with lukewarm water to remove the paste. Afterward, gently pat your skin dry with a soft towel. Since lemon juice can be drying, it’s a good idea to follow up with a light moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.
Frequency for Best Results
For optimal results, repeat this onion remedy 2 to 3 times a week. Consistency is key when using natural treatments, and with regular use, you should begin to notice a reduction in hair growth within a few weeks. Over time, you may find that your facial hair becomes thinner, softer, and less noticeable.
Important Tips to Keep in Mind
While onion and lemon are generally safe for most people, it’s essential to take some precautions before applying the mixture to your face.
