      Kuppaimeni for hair removal

       

      Unwanted hair, like hair on the face and upper lip, is the most depressing problem for women. Most women worry and lose their charm when they have too much facial hair. Most people don't like to use artificial products because some of them hurt and others can cause skin problems. The natural cure for this problem is the kuppaimeni.

       

      The way this herb works is by getting into the skin and stopping hair from growing. This makes hair fall out. A great way to get rid of facial hair is to mix kuppaimeni with turmeric powder and korai kizhangu powder. Apply this paste to your face, wait until it's almost dry, and then rub your face in circles.

       

      Doing this process often will help the hair on your face fall out. The amount of time it takes to see results depends on how coarse your facial hair is.
