How to Use Garlic for Hair Removal
1. Prepare Your Garlic Paste
Firstly, you peel 3–4 fresh garlic cloves and crush them thoroughly (a garlic press or mortar and pestle works best). Then, allow the crushed garlic to sit for about 10 minutes to maximize its allicin content.
You can mix with 1 teaspoon of olive oil or aloe vera gel to soothe the skin and minimize any pungent odor.
2. Cleanse and Dry the Target Area
Wash the skin where you plan to apply the garlic paste with mild soap and warm water.
Next, gently pat the area dry with a clean towel to ensure better adherence to the garlic mixture.
3. Application and Coverage
Use a cotton swab or your fingertips (wear gloves if you prefer) to spread the paste evenly over the unwanted hair.
Press the paste onto the skin with gentle, circular motions, focusing on areas with thicker growth. If desired, cover with gauze or a breathable wrap to keep the garlic in place for optimal contact.
4. Waiting Period
Let the garlic paste sit for 15–20 minutes. A mild tingling sensation is normal, but if you notice burning or discomfort, remove it right away.
