Sugar wax is a paste that can be used for hair removal and is made from sugar, water, and lemon juice. It is a great alternative to synthetic waxes for hair removal and is free of skin-irritating chemicals and toxins. Here are the ingredients and steps to make sugar wax:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated white sugar
- 1/8 cup (30 ml) lemon juice (preferably bottled)
- 1/8 cup (30 ml) warm water
Steps:
- Place a medium-sized pot on the stove.
- Add the white sugar, lemon juice, and warm water to the pot.
- Stir to combine them.
- Heat the mixture slowly, eventually getting it to a medium-high heat. Do not let it boil.
- Once the mixture turns a light honey color, remove it from the heat.
- Pour the mixture into a bowl or jar and let it cool for 30 minutes.
Sugar wax is less painful than traditional hot wax because it doesnt remove the hair follicle, making it a great option for those with sensitive skin. However, it can be messy and difficult to use at first, so its important to follow the instructions carefully.
