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
