One of the simplest and most practical hair removal methods is sugaring, which is based on the elaboration of a wax whose main ingredient is sugar which is usually applied to tear off short hair. One of the great advantages of this method of hair removal and that pleases women is that it is less painful than the conventional method and is as durable as this one.

To make this wax, you just have to have sugar and lemon at home, two ingredients that are never missing in our kitchens, and thus you will get this wax that has been applied for thousands of years in ancient Egypt and other eastern countries.

The sugaring application process is quite similar to that of the wax, but it is much simpler and can be made and applied at home; however, in some countries they sell sugar paste ready to be applied. But if you don’t want to leave home and want to save a little, prepare it in your own home since it’s very easy, you only need two (02) cups of sugar, a yellow lemon and water, which will only be used if the lemon does not have enough juice.

This wonderful method of sugaring only requires that we place the two cups of sugar and lemon juice in a pot, ensuring that it completely covers the sugar. If it is not achieved, a little water is added, but without exaggerating the amount; it is very important that you only add the necessary amount.

Once you have the mixture, heat it over medium-high heat, up to 115 degrees Celsius, using a wooden spoon to stir gradually until the sugar dissolves completely. Use a thermometer cooking to check the temperature, and then you will have your mix to apply the sugaring method and achieve an excellent hair removal.

Care should be taken to lower the flame once the mixture begins to boil so that it forms a thick and sticky paste, but taking care that it can be managed to perform a sugaring correctly. The paste mixture must acquire a skin colour; that is, a soft golden colour because if the colour obtained is very dark, the procedure should be repeated because it is not effective if it is much burned.

On the other hand, it should not be allowed to boil over high heat for more than a minute because otherwise the texture and colour will not be adequate, and sugaring will not have the same effects; so the mixture must be removed from the heat on time and allowed to cool in order to proceed to perform hair removal.

Some people decide to have an exfoliation before applying sugaring. However, this is optional, and it is not recommended for those who have sensitive skin; if this is not the case, exfoliation can be done without rubbing the skin much, in a moderate way so as not to irritate the areas, and thus achieve a better result with this method of hair removal.

Another care you should take is not to adhere too much sugar wax on the skin. You could even put talcum powder in the areas where you will wax to soften them. But, before starting the application of sugaring, you must clean and dry the areas to be waxed very well so that the sugar wax does not have problems to stick. In addition, you should clean and dry your hands well, then spread a small amount of oil on them before starting the process.

Subsequently, wax is taken in small portions to be smeared in the opposite direction to hair growth. For example, on the legs the hair grows from the top down, so wax should be applied from the bottom up.

When you apply the sugaring method, it is likely that the sugar wax becomes very thick as it cools down, so at that time, it should be taken to the fire again and heated a little. You should also be careful to distribute the wax evenly, until you notice that there is a thin layer.

As the wax was applied in the opposite direction to hair growth, when the wax layer is going to be removed, it must be pulled in the opposite direction; that is, in the sense that hair grows to tighten the skin with the other hand.

Once all the wax has been removed, the areas are washed thoroughly with warm water to avoid remaining remnants of the mixture. They are dried well with a towel, and a good moisturizer, or aloe Vera gel is applied in order to refresh and soothe the skin.

Among the advantages of sugaring, we have that it is a very economical method and without artifice, lasts as long as the conventional method, is less painful, is effective when you want to remove very short hairs, is applied at room temperature, eliminates dead cells present in the skin, favours the regeneration of these, and can be applied in any part of the body.
