For a more intense treatment, some people leave it on for up to 30 minutes but proceed cautiously and monitor your skin’s reaction.
5. Rinse and Moisturize
You just need to rinse off with lukewarm water, gently massaging in circles to help lift any loosened hair.
Finally, follow with a mild moisturizer or a soothing lotion (e.g., chamomile cream, aloe vera gel) to calm the skin.
6. Frequency and Consistency
Repeat 2–3 times per week for several weeks. Natural remedies require patience; hair typically becomes thinner and sparser over time.
Cautions and Precautions
Garlic’s potent compounds can irritate sensitive skin, especially if used too frequently or left on for extended periods.
You should conduct a patch test by applying a small amount of garlic paste on the inside of your arm and waiting 24 hours. If you experience redness, itching, or a burning sensation, dilute the mixture further or discontinue use.
Individuals with skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis should consult a healthcare professional before trying this method.
Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals may also want to seek medical advice, as skin sensitivity can increase during this time. Always prioritize safety and discontinue any remedy that causes persistent discomfort or irritation.
