There’s nothing more comforting than a homemade remedy passed down through generations — and today, Mama’s opening her recipe book to share a timeless natural trick for soft, smooth skin.
Unwanted facial hair, especially around the upper lip or chin, is something many of us deal with quietly. While beauty salons and chemical creams exist, nothing beats the gentleness and effectiveness of a natural remedy from the kitchen.
Let’s get cozy and learn how to make this easy mix together.
🌿 What You’ll Need
2 tablespoons of chickpea flour (also called gram flour)
1 tablespoon of turmeric
A few teaspoons of milk or yogurt
Optional: a drop of honey for hydration
🧴 How to Prepare It
In a small bowl, mix the chickpea flour and turmeric.
Add just enough milk or yogurt to make a smooth, thick paste.
(Optional) Add honey if your skin is dry — it adds moisture and softness.
Stir until everything is combined into a consistent texture.
🧖 How to Use It
Wash your face and pat it dry gently.
Apply the paste to the area with unwanted hair (usually above the lip or cheeks).
Let it dry completely — about 20 minutes.
Once dry, rub the paste off in circular motions using your fingers or a damp cloth.
Rinse with warm water and apply a soft moisturizer or rose water.
🍃 How Often?
Repeat this remedy 2–3 times per week. Within a few weeks, you may start to notice that your facial hair becomes thinner, lighter, and slower to grow back.
The turmeric helps reduce hair growth naturally, while chickpea flour exfoliates and tightens the skin. It’s a chemical-free, safe solution that’s been used in traditional beauty rituals for centuries — and it still works like magic today.
💡 Grandma’s Tip
If you’re worried about turmeric staining, just use kasturi turmeric — it doesn’t stain the skin. And always do a patch test first to make sure your skin loves it.
👵 Why This Works
Our skin is delicate and deserves kindness. This recipe is about more than just hair removal — it’s about going back to our roots, embracing simplicity, and trusting the wisdom passed down from the women before us.
So next time you’re looking for a fix, skip the chemicals and head to the pantry. Mama’s got your back.
