This exfoliating mask offers instantaneous hair removal results. To mix a batch for yourself, start by mixing two tablespoons of sugar with one tablespoon of honey and one tablespoon of water. Then heat it in the microwave, so that the sugar fully dissolves into the honey. Apply the warm mixture to the unwanted hair, and then quickly cover it with a bit of cloth. When it cools down, rip off the cloth—and voila! No more hair! It's an all-natural wax that's way cheaper than the salon.

Both of these oils are noted anti-androgens, which makes them ideal for facial hair removal. Combine one teaspoon of lavender oil with a few drops of tea tree oil, and dab it on the desired areas with a cotton swab. Do this everyday for a few weeks, or until the facial hair is no longer visible.

This sticky mask will peel facial hair right off, and as an added bonus, it can also clear clogged pores and exfoliate the skin. To make it, combine one tablespoon of unflavored gelatin powder with three tablespoons of milk. Add a few drops of lemon, and then stick the mixture in the microwave for a few seconds. While it's still warm, slap it on your face. Once it's fully drive, you should be able to peel it off your face—with your unwanted hair now attached to the mask, instead of your face.

This mask works because papaya fruit contains papain, an enzyme that can dissolve the hair cuticle. To prepare, first remove the skin from the papaya.
