Unwanted facial hair is something many of us deal with, but the usual methods—waxing, threading, or harsh chemical creams—can be painful and irritating to the skin. My nana, however, has a simple, painless, and all-natural trick that she swears by to get rid of facial hair with almost zero effort.
I was skeptical at first, but after trying it, I was amazed at how well it worked. The best part? It’s made from ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen!
The Secret Ingredient: Chickpea Flour & Turmeric Magic
Nana’s trick is an old beauty secret used for generations: a chickpea flour and turmeric mask that not only removes facial hair but also brightens the skin, reduces acne, and gives a natural glow.
Why It Works:
✔️ Chickpea Flour (Besan) – Gently exfoliates, weakens hair roots, and helps remove fine facial hair over time.
✔️ Turmeric – Has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that soothe the skin and prevent irritation.
✔️ Milk or Rose Water – Softens hair follicles and nourishes the skin.

Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons chickpea flour (besan)
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1-2 tablespoons milk (or rose water for oily skin)
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional for extra moisture)
