Supplies:
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup water
Steps:
- In a medium sized pot, add all of the ingredients and mix them with a wooden spoon.
- Place the pot over high heat. Wait until the mixture becomes bubbly and frothy.
- Turn the heat to medium, and stir constantly. It's extremely important that you stir, stir, stir. Otherwise, the mixture will harden and you'll have to start over again.
- Cook on medium heat while stirring constantly until mixture reaches a medium golden brown color. This should take about 5-10 minutes.
- Remove the pot from heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, take a spoonful of the sugar wax mixture and place it in the fridge. Allow it to cool, and if the consistency still isn't right, return the mixture to heat.
- The consistency should be a thick, manageable consistency. You should be able to pick it up just like wax
- Allow to cool at least 30 minutes.
- Once cooled, transfer to a bowl.
- Using a wooden spoon, spatula, or even your hands, grab a small amount of the sugar wax from the bowl. Roll between your hands and form a ball.
- Apply the wax by pressing the ball down to flatten onto the area you want waxed. The sugar wax should be on your skin about 1/4 thick.
- You can also use waxing strips, by pressing the wax onto the skin, and then placing the wax strips on top of the wax. You can also use a popsicle stick to apply the wax, while it is still warm. Then, rub the strips back and forth to create some friction.
- Take a deep breath, pick up the end of the wax, and pull fast in one motion AGAINST the direction which your hair grows. You can reuse the same wax piece 3-4 times until having to make a new ball.
- The wax can be used on any part of the body, including bikini, underarms, upper lip, and legs.
- Sugar waxing should last a few weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows.
- Store any leftover homemade sugar wax in a glass jar.
- If there is any leftover wax on your skin, use a soft cloth and warm water to remove the excess.
