Long gone are the days of shaving (or at least they should be)! Shaving causes ingrown hairs, razor bumps, and irritated skin. Not only that, but shaving only lasts a couple of days, and by the end of the year, you’ll have spent hundreds of dollars on razors and shaving cream. I think we can find much better ways to spend our money!
The great thing about sugar wax is that it’s so much better for your skin than shaving or waxing. It’s all natural, and doesn’t rip the hairs or cause bumps or irritation. Sugar wax is also a much gentler way of removing hair, and doesn’t hurt nearly as much as waxing.
So let’s check out how to make sugar wax at home!


How to Make Sugar Wax

You’ll Need:
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup water
As you can see, the ingredients are all 100% natural and you probably already have them in your kitchen. Plus, imagine the amount of money you’ll be saving!!!

Directions:

  1. In a medium sized pot, add all of the ingredients and mix them with a wooden spoon.
  2. Place the pot over high heat, and wait until the mixture becomes bubbly/frothy.
  3. Reduce to medium heat, 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.
  4. Cook on medium heat while stirring constantly until mixture reaches a medium golden brown color. This should take about 5-10 minutes.
  5. 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.
  6. The consistency should be a thick, manageable consistency (you should be able to pick it up….just like wax).
  7. Allow to cool at least 30 minutes.
  8. Once cooled, transfer to a bowl.

How to Use:

Using a wooden spoon, spatula, or even your hands, grab a small amount of the sugar wax from the bowl, and roll between your hands, forming a ball.
Press 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. 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 and in one motion AGAINST the direction which your hair grows. You can reuse the same wax piece 3-4 times until you should make a new ball.
The wax can be used on any part of the body, including bikini, underarms, face, and legs.
Sugar waxing should last a few weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows.
