How to make sugar wax ( Recipe and tutorial )

SUGARING RECIPE INGREDIENTS

• 2 Cups of Sugar
• 1/4 cup of water
• 1/4 cup of lemon juice

PREPARING SKIN FOR SUGARING

Start with clean, dry skin. Tea tree oil spray will get rid of any grease and cornstarch will remove any moisture and help protect the skin.

MAKE HAIR SUGARING MIXTURE

1. Add the sugar, lemon juice, and water to a saucepan and bring to the boil.
2. Simmer over medium to low heat while constantly stirring. The mixture should turn to a golden brown and the sugar crystals should be all dissolved after approx 5 to 8 minutes
3. Once it starts to turn from golden brown to brown (250 - 270 F), turn off the heat and let the mixture sit and cool for a few minutes
4. Pour into a microwave safe container
5. Put container in fridge until mixture has cooled enough to be placed on skin

HOW TO SUGAR

1. Use a spatula to spread a thin layer of sugar wax over an area slightly smaller than your cotton strip
2. Immediately press the cotton strip firmly onto the wax in the direction of hair growth and rub up and down several times
3. Let set for a few minutes then rip off quickly in opposite direction to hair growth!
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 until you are left with soft, smooth, hairless skin and all unwanted hair is gone

AFTER SUGARING

Use a damp cloth to clean up - having a shower is also a good way to clean up. You may end up with some redness and bumps after sugaring but these usually disappear after a few hours. To help soothe your skin you can apply moisturizer or calamine lotion

HAIR SUGARING TIPS AND WARNINGS

Most women find that sugar waxing works great for hair removal, especially on their legs. It's cheap, easy and anyone can do it, and it lasts much longer than shaving or depilatory creams. When the hair grows back it is softer and finer and there's less of it.

Sugar waxing is less painful than regular waxing since it doesn't adhere to the skin, however some women find it is unsuitable for sugaring pubic hair, underarms, face or bikini sugaring where the skin is thinner and more sensitive. If you want to remove hair from sensitive or hard to reach areas or you have sensitive skin then a natural hair removal cream is a painless and simple solution. The results are almost instant, the final effect is the same, and after 1 to 4 months of use the hair is so fine it is not noticeable.


Sugar wax is basically sugar candy, so like candy if you don't cook it long enough it will be too soft, and if you cook it too long it will be hard. If it is in a microwave safe container then you can heat it to thicken it, or add water and stir if it is too hard. Any left over can also be stored and reheated in the microwave, or you can eat it!
