Is There Any Remedy to Make Hair on Legs Grow in Lighter and Thinner?

Posted By Sophie (Dayton, Ohio, Usa) on 02/01/2012

Hi EarthClinic! I have been struggling to find the best solution to this problem for a while now. I am of German descent with very fair, sensitive skin. I also have very coarse, dark hair on my legs. Currently I shave my legs, sometimes with a disposable razor in the tub, and sometimes with an electric razor. I have tried waxing, but my skin is too sensitive. Is there something I can do to make the hairs grow in softer, lighter, and thinner? Right now it is so difficult to shave, and I have to go over the same areas multiple times to get all the hairs and this irritates my skin. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!!

Hey, can I ask... What do you do with mint oil? Do you consume it or apply it to the area where your body hair is? Thanks!

dear Jasmina, first I drink lot of mint tea, after my periods during 5-7 days, it decreases the level of testosteron in your body, I also applied the oil on my upper lip and chin, and no more hair... but on my body I still have, I need to continue drinking the tea.

Spearmint or peppermint tea and oil? What brand of tea and oil do you use?

hi Gail, the oil is a very ordinary mint oil, I buy it here in the shops, locally produced, as for the spearmint or peppermint, I rellay don't know which one is it, I still think that the tea is more important than the oil.
