    All Natural Hair Removal Gel

    Source of Recipe

    unknown

    List of Ingredients

    1 cup white sugar
    1/4 cup honey
    juice of 1/2 of a lemon
    cornstarch (for dusting skin)
    Strips of tightly woven cotton fabric (I cut up an old, lightweight denim shirt)


    Recipe

    To Prepare:
    Put sugar, honey and lemon juice into a glass container and microwave for 2-3 minutes, stirring every thirty seconds, untill it bubbles gently (not just on the edges)

    DANGER!!!! Once the mixture begins bubbling, just turn off the microwave and leave it where it is for a few minutes. This type of mixture has been know to sort of explode when microwaved.

    TO USE:
    Soften mixture by heating for 20 seconds in the microwave
    Lightly powder, clean, dry skin with corn starch
    Use a popsicle stick or other suitable device to spread a thin layer of gel on skin in the direction of hair growth
    Lay a strip of cotton fabric on top of gel and firmly smooth down
    Use one hand to pull skin taut as possible and use the other to quickly pull the strip off in the opposite direction of hair growth.
    Tips:
    - Don't pull up. Use more of a peeling motion.
    - You have to pull fast or it won't work.
    - Be carefull not to overheat mixture or it may crystalize
