10. Lavender And Tea Tree Oil

Researchers of this study sprayed these oils on the affected skin area twice per day for 3 continuous months in a specific group of women while the other took a placebo. The results showed that there was a significant reduction in the hair growth of the controlled group. Thus, lavender and tea tree oil are considered wonderful treatments for unwanted hair on face.

- Apply it to the affected areas twice or thrice per day.
- Repeat this routine for a few months.
