Make sure that the area to be treated is clean and dry. There should be no residue from soap or body lotions. Apply a dusting of cornstarch to the area to be treated. This will help remove excess oils from your skin. Using the tongue depressor, or another suitable applicator, spread a thin layer of the mixture over the area to be treated. Now cover the treated area with a strip of the cotton fabric and rub your hand a few times over the strip the opposite way that your hair grows. Use a moderate pressure. Grab the end of the fabric strip and quickly rip it off in the opposite direction of your hair growth. Wash the treated area with warm water to remove any sticky residue and apply an unscented skin cream or lotion if you want to.
That's all there is to sugaring!
You need
1 cup of white sugar,
Juice from 1/2 of a lemon,
1/4 cup of honey.
Mix the lemon juice, sugar and honey in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for about 2-3 minutes, until the mixture just begins to bubble and turns smooth. Turn off the microwave and leave the bowl alone until the mixture has had time to cool down to a safe handling temperature. This could be 5 minutes or more.
Other Recipes
1.Ingredients
1 cup sugar
Half a lemon for the juice
1/4 cup honey
A little bit of Molasses if you have any like a drizzle
Cornstarch (to powder with for tautness making it more effective)
Mix lemon, sugar, and honey in a bowl. Microwave on high for about 2-3 minutes, until it bubbles into a smooth consistency.
2.Ingredients:
2 cups of sugar
1/4 cup of lemon juice
1/4 cup of water
Directions:
·Put the sugar in a large saucepan.
·Add the lemon juice and water.
·Stir constantly over a low flame until the sugar is a dark brown.
·Pour into thick plastic storage containers and allow to cool. (These can be put in a microwave later for reheating if necessary.)
·Allow the sugar paste to cool until it is warm and spreadable.
Two other recipes:
#Sugar Syrup
·8 parts sugar syrup
1 part lemon juice
1 part mussed oil
2 parts water.
·Put it on a medium heat for 45 minutes.
·When the mixture turns brown remove it from the heat.
·Add a little glycerin and let the mixture get cold.
#Honey
·5 spoonfuls of honey
1 spoonful of lemon juice
·Put it on a medium heat for 30 minutes.
·Remove it from the heat and add a little glycerin.
· Allow the sugar paste to cool until it is warm and spreadable.
Notes:
Be sure to test the warmth on a small portion of skin first. It is easy to burn oneself if the paste is too hot!
If it cools too much and looses the correct consistency, put in a microwave oven for 10 to 20 seconds. Again, test the temperature before applying over a large area.
