Sugar waxing is an all natural way to get rid of unwanted hair. The ingredients to prepare it are very easy to find: cane sugar, water and lemon juice. Like any wax, even the sugar one allows you to remove the hair directly at the root. Read the article and follow the 6 steps to wax your legs.
Ingrediants
- 1 cup of brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons of lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons of water
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Make the sugar wax
Step 1. In a large bowl, mix the sugar, water and lemon juice
Step 2. Place the bowl in the microwave and turn it on at maximum power for 30 seconds
The mixture must darken and thicken. After the first 30 seconds, take out the bowl, check and turn with the help of a spatula. Return to the oven for another 30 seconds. Repeat the operation until you get the desired result, increase the time in 15 second intervals if you deem it necessary. The mixture will soon begin to simmer so don't lose sight of it and stir frequently to prevent it from burning.
Step 3. Remove from the microwave once ready
When it is thick and has a nice amber color, remove it from the oven and mix until smooth and free of bubbles.
Step 4. Transfer the wax to a smaller container suitable for use in the microwave
Let it cool completely before capping it.
Method 2 of 2: How to use sugar wax
Step 1. Heat the wax in the microwave for about 15 seconds
When it's soft, sticky and hot it's ready. Leave it in the oven at intervals of 15 seconds until it reaches the desired consistency.
Step 2. Use a wooden stick (such as a popsicle stick) to apply a thin layer of wax
Do this in the opposite direction to that of the hair and for a section of skin that is not too large (about 5 centimeters by 10). Remember that if you apply too much product you will struggle to remove it precisely.
Step 3. Quickly apply a depilatory strip to the wax
On the market there are single strips or rolls and also washable and reusable strips.
Step 4. Tear off the strip in the direction of the hair
Make a single, quick movement.
Step 5. Continue
If necessary, heat the wax again.
Step 6. Once finished, rinse the remaining wax parts under running water and pat the skin dry with a towel
Apply a moisturizing lotion.
