When Nad’s was first created, little did Sue Ismiel, founder of Nad’s, know that her original natural hair removal gel formula would not only solve her daughter’s unwanted hair removal problem, but millions of others around the world! #gonads

Do a little online search and you will find many at-home natural hair removal remedies that are both chemical-free and toxin-free, including sugar waxing and turmeric hair removal. But what exactly are the benefits of these different methods and how do they work?

1. Sugaring

Sugar waxing or sugaring is a traditional method of hair removal which began in the Mediterranean and middle eastern countries. It’s made up of simple ingredients including lemon, water, and sugar. Heated together these ingredients form a candy-like consistency and are applied to the skin to remove the hair by the roots. In addition to the natural ingredients, one of the pros of sugaring is that you can re-use the same paste over and over, making it less wasteful. This method although effective for some can be painful and cause sensitivity as the process of kneading the wax along the skin and hair has a bit of an ouch factor! Also, the technique takes some practice until you can see really great results.

2. Turmeric

Yellow spice ‘turmeric’ has also been used in the beauty space for many years and is especially popular in India, where it originated. When applied to the skin in a paste texture (with again few ingredients… turmeric and milk), it acts as a glue where the hair sticks to and is removed after 20 minutes or until dry. Removing hair with turmeric is can have additional benefits to the skin and is a cost-effective solution. However, it can also be messy and temporarily stains the skin if not done properly—another technique that might be better left to the pros.

3. Waxing

Waxing is our go-to because you can get almost all of the same benefits and it is easy to do at home, for newbies and pros alike!
