Sugaring Hair Removal Recipe
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup lemon or lime juice
(some people have also recommended vinegar)
1/4 cup water
Combine all the ingredients in a pan and stirring often, bring just to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes until
mixture has turned a rich amber color.
Lift the saucepan off the heat
occasionally so that the bubbles will calm down and you can keep an eye
on the color.
When it's
finished it will give off a nice cooked lemon sort of aroma.
Take the pan off the heat and allow the mixture to partially cool until it begins to thicken (probably about 15 minutes).
Pour the finished mixture into an air-tight container and allow
it to cool fully
before handling.
There you go! You just made your own, at home, quick
and easy hair removal potion!
Prepare Your Paste Before Use
Flatten the paste out in your hands. Try not to work with it too much as
it'll get sticky from the heat of your hands.
Press the paste firmly
onto the area you want to remove hair from.
Make sure that your piece of sugaring paste stays at least 1/8 to 1/4
(3-6mm) inch thick so that it'll pull of easily.
When you've got it flattened and pressed into the skin, flick up the end
of your piece to remove enough to be able to grab it. Pull the skin taut
and yank the sugaring paste off quickly in the opposite direction of the
hair growth.
Fold the piece in half until it's the size you need it for the next area
and press it on again. Repeat until the piece becomes too sticky to work
with from the heat of your skin. Then discard that piece and grab
another and continue if necessary.
When you're finished in an area, simply wipe it down with a warm, wet
cloth. The sugaring paste is water soluble, so it cleans up quick
and easy.
