Sugaring

Sugaring is similar method to waxing, and for that reason it is often called sugar waxing or Persian waxing. History goes all the way to Egypt where women were using this method to remove unwanted hair as a sign of youth, beauty and innocence.This mass sticks to hair but it doesn’t stick to skin and for that reason it is supposed to be less painful and many users can confirm that.

You can either buy prepared sugar wax in store or make one by yourself at home with common households. What you need is following:

• 1 unit of sugar
• 1/8 unit of lemon juice
• 1/8 unit of water

Mix all of the ingredients together and heat with often stirring until they are completely liquid, after this liquid will change its color into gold and your sugaring paste is almost done. This will take approximately 25 minutes.

Then move off the heat and leave it like that for about 15 minutes while mixture will partially cool. After that pour the mixture into the air-tight container and leave it as long as necessary to cool completely to room temperature. There you go – you just made your own hair removal potion.

You apply it to your skin and it can be used as waxing with piece of paper or cloth. Just press the paper in the direction of hair growth and pull very quickly in other direction of hair growth.
