List of Ingredients
2 & 1/2 pounds of sugar
1/4 C lemon juice
You'll need a glass throw away container, as thin plastic
will melt.
Cotton strips (you can purchase these at drug stores near
wax the
kits) or
small scraps of cotton fabric.
A spatula or something made strong to spread the sugar wax
with.
Recipe
Place the sugar in a large saucepan and add the lemon juice.
Stir
constantly
and keep the heat over a low flame until sugar is a dark
brown,
caramel
color.
If desired you can powder the area to be waxed very lightly
with a
little
talc powder.
To sugar your body hair:
Let the sugaring mix cool until it is warm and spreadable,
but not too
uncomfortably hot to handle.
In the meantime, its a good idea to clean the saucepan
before it sets!
If the sugaring mix is too cool, you can microwave it. Stir
it
completely,
and keep check on it.
To test the warmth of the sugaring mix by putting a little
on a small
part
of your body. If it is not too hot, it is then ready to use.
If it is
unspreadable, heat it back up a little.
When the sugaring mix is at the correct consistency, it
should appear
to be
the same as molasses.
Spread thin narrow strips of sugar mix on the area to be
done such as
your
leg for instance, spreading it from knee to ankle and then
immediately
covering the sugaring mix on your leg with a cotton strip.
You can either repeat until your leg is completely covered
in cotton
strips
or you can do one or two at a time, what ever you feel most
comfortable
with.
When cool to the touch and set, usually after about 10
minutes
depending on
the thickness of the sugar mix used, rip the strips off
quickly,
beginning
from ankle and pull towards knee, keeping the strips at a
close
distance to
the skin and no hesitations, when ripping the cloth off.
Tips:
You can store the sugaring mix in the refrigerator for
several weeks.
Never apply the sugaring mix too thickly on your skin as it
will only
pull
on the hair and not remove it.
You can test to see if the strip is ready to come off, by
pulling a
small
part of it up first, before ripping it right off completely.
Be careful with the sugaring mix as it is very easy to burn
yourself.
Always test the warmth of the sugaring mix on a sensitive
part of your
body
first.
Always apply the mixture going down the hairs from the hair
follicles
to the
tips and only pull in the opposite direction that the
sugaring mix was
applied, so if you apply the mix going downwards, only pull
upwards.
