The product you usually use in baking also has other lesser-known uses. It can help remove unwanted hair above your upper lip. This inexpensive and effective solution allows you to address this embarrassing problem quickly.

Dark hair above the upper lip is a common issue that often negatively affects women's self-confidence. Of course, you can go to a specialist, but it usually requires time and money. The affordable alternative is found in every kitchen. It is practical, safe, and costs just over a dollar.

One product for a dollar and numerous possibilities

Baking soda is a chemical substance with a wide range of uses, primarily in the kitchen and cosmetology. As it turns out, it is effective in fighting mustache hairs. More and more women praise its positive and quickly noticeable effects when removing unwanted hair.

Does the home trick work for every woman?

Baking soda is effective for removing mustache hair for women with light and sparse hair, as well as those with darker and thicker hair. Baking soda weakens the hair, causing it to fall out after regular treatments. Women with darker hair may need to wait longer for results, but the method also works on thick, strong hair. It is recommended to use the baking soda solution for 3-5 days.

Removing mustache hairs with baking soda: Step by step

For best results, use baking soda as a liquid solution. One teaspoon of baking soda should be mixed with 8.5 ounces of boiled, warm water. Then, a cotton pad soaked in the solution should be applied to the mustache area in circular motions. After application, the baking soda should be left on for 30 minutes and then rinsed with warm water.

Due to baking soda's exfoliating and drying properties, you should moisturize the treated area with a cream afterward. This simple and inexpensive method can bring expected results in just a few days.
