If you want to go the natural route, there are a few natural body hair removal methods that work. If you want to know how to get rid of body hair for good, read on to find out a few simple methods for all-natural hair removal.

Papaya Remedy #1:

For this remedy, you will need:

  • Raw papaya
  • Raw turmeric root
  • Using a knife, peel and chop the papaya into small cubes. Use a fork to mash the cubes into a thick, juicy papaya pulp.
  • Grate a knuckle-sized piece of raw turmeric root using the smallest holes. This will give you zest-sized pieces, which you can mix into the papaya pulp. Mix the pulp well to ensure the turmeric is properly absorbed, and apply the paste to the body parts with unwanted hair.

Gently massage the pulp into your skin, and let it sit for up to 20 minutes. Once the time has passed, rinse the pulp from your skin with warm water. There may be a bit of yellowing of your skin (the result of the turmeric), but it will fade in a few days.

This is a remedy to repeat once or twice a week. Once the body hair has lightened, you can shave/wax. Give your skin a day to recover, then apply the mixture again. Keep applying it regularly, and you may not have to worry about waxing or shaving for a long time!

Papaya Remedy #2:

For this remedy, you will need:

  • Raw papaya
  • Turmeric powder
  • Gram flour
  • Aloe vera
  • Mustard oil
  • Peppermint oil
  • Moisturizing cream

 

Crush half a cup of papaya into a thick pulp, and mix half a tablespoon each of gram flour and turmeric powder. Add in two tablespoons of mustard oil, four tablespoons of aloe vera (gel or raw), and a couple of drops of peppermint oil.

Apply the mixture to your skin, and let it dry. After about 20 minutes (15 for those with sensitive skin), rinse it off with warm water. This will help to lighten your body hair and prevent the hair follicles from re-growing.

After your skin has dried, use a natural moisturizing cream to reduce dryness and protect the skin.

Turmeric Remedy #1:

For this remedy, you will need:

  • Turmeric powder
  • Sesame oil
  • Gram flour

 

Mix a tablespoon of turmeric powder with an equal amount of gram flour, and stir well to combine. Pour in the sesame oil until you have a thick paste. Using your fingers, apply the paste to the areas with unwanted body hair.

Let the mixture dry and sit for about 30 minutes before rinsing off with warm water. Use a gentle scrubbing motion to get rid of the paste, and a bit of hair will come off. You can repeat this remedy once weekly to deal with your body hair!

Turmeric Remedy #2:

For this remedy, you will need

  • Raw turmeric
  • Rose water

 

Grate or grind a knuckle-sized piece of turmeric, and stir in a few tablespoons of rose water. You want a thick paste that can easily be applied to your skin.

Apply the paste with your fingers, but ONLY on the areas with unwanted hair. Let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes (depending on the sensitivity/dryness of your skin). Once the time has passed, wash it off with warm water.

This is an ideal remedy for your legs, back, arms, and anywhere with less dense, thinner hair. For thicker, coarse hair (such as around your pubic region), you may need to add yoghurt, ground oats, or rice flour.

Sugar, Honey, and Lemon Remedy

For this remedy, you will need:

  • Honey
  • Sugar
  • Lemon

 

Mix a tablespoon of sugar with a tablespoon each of honey and lemon juice. Place the mixture in a metal bowl, and place that bowl over a double boiler. This will heat the liquid slowly (preventing burning), dissolving the sugar and turning it into a thick wax-like paste.

Note: Add water to thin out an overly thick paste, or mix in cornstarch to thicken a too-thin paste.

Apply a bit of cornstarch to the areas you want to wax. This will help to prevent the wax mixture from clinging to your skin.

Using a wooden spoon, apply the wax to your skin in the direction of the hairs. Pat, a strip of waxing cloth into the still-soft wax, allow it to cool and harden, and rip off. It works like a regular wax, but far more natural!
