DIY Turmeric and Sugar Waxing Peel-Off Mask

If you want a peel-off mask that can also help remove unwanted hair, in addition to unclogging pores, here’s a recipe you can make at home: a turmeric and sugar waxing mask.

This homemade natural mask utilizes turmeric, sugar, honey, and water or lemon juice to remove unwanted hair while exfoliating and brightening the skin.

The sugar acts as a natural wax that pulls out unwanted hair as it dries. It is gentle, effective, and ideal for sensitive skin areas like the upper lip or chin.

Benefits:

Removes unwanted hair

Exfoliates the skin

Brightens and softens skin

Natural and safe for sensitive skin

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon turmeric powder

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon water or lemon juice

Instructions: 

1. Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl: turmeric powder, sugar, honey, and water or lemon juice. Stir until smooth, slightly thick paste.
2. Microwave the paste in the microwave for about 1015 seconds or warm it on the stove for a few seconds until it is just a little warm but not too hot to touch.
3. Spread the paste, either using a spatula or by finger tips very thinly across areas of unwanted hair on the upper lip, chin, and legs, or anywhere you’d like to eliminate the unwanted hair, in the direction of the hair growth.
4. Let it dry for 10 to 15 minutes or until hard; when it gets this way, it will feel tight to the touch.
5. Peel off in the opposite direction of hair growth. Sugar acts like a natural wax, making it drag and pull the hairs as you remove the mask.
6. Remove the mask by rinsing with lukewarm water, removing any remaining residue. Hydrate and calm the skin with a moisturizer.

Pro Tip: Exfoliate your skin a day before using this mask. This helps in the removal of hair and works better for the mask.
