1. Prepare the Garlic Paste:
Start by peeling 3-4 fresh garlic cloves and finely crushing them. You can either use a garlic press or chop them very finely with a knife. The goal is to release the natural compounds from the garlic that will work on the hair follicles.

Once the garlic is crushed, create a paste by mixing the garlic with 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil. Olive oil is optional but can help soothe the skin, preventing irritation. The oil will also make it easier to apply the mixture to your skin.

3. Application:
Clean the area of the skin where you want to remove unwanted hair. Using a cotton ball or gauze pad, apply the garlic paste directly onto the skin, ensuring that you cover the area thoroughly. Be gentle during application to avoid irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin.

4. Leave It On:
Allow the garlic paste to sit on your skin for about 15 to 20 minutes. You may experience a slight tingling sensation, which is normal, but be sure to monitor your skin for any signs of irritation. If you feel any burning or discomfort, rinse it off immediately.

5. Rinse and Moisturize:
After 15-20 minutes, rinse the area with lukewarm water. Pat your skin dry with a soft towel and follow up with a gentle moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and calm. For best results, repeat this process 2-3 times a week.

Serving and Storage Tips:

– Serving Suggestions:

This garlic paste is best applied directly to the skin for maximum effect. Be sure to do a patch test on a small area of your skin before full application to check for any allergic reactions.

– Storage Tips:
If you have leftover garlic paste, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. However, it’s recommended to prepare a fresh batch each time for optimal results, as garlic’s potency can decrease over time when stored.
