How to prepare Home made wax? sugaring
Ingrédients:
4 cups of sugar
½ cup of Lemon juice
½ cup of water
Preparation:
1. Mix the sugar, water and lemon juice in a skillet or a sauce pan (From my experience it is always good to mix the ingredients before keeping it on flame)
2. Keep the container on a low flame after mixing.
3. Keep stirring the mixture until the sugar solution melts and you have a thick brown liquid. Normally it takes 10 to 15 minutes on low flame.
4. If you have a candy thermometer, The temperature we need to stop cooking the sugar solution is 235-245* F, They call this Soft ball consistency. If you drop a small amount of syrup into chilled water, It forms a soft, flexible ball, but flattens like a pancake after a few moments in your hand.
5. Let it cool . Hot sugar wax can burn your skin so don't rush to use it after it is prepared and it is still hot.

1. For the first time let the wax cool by it self to room temperature, If it cools below the required consistency, you can warm it by keeping the vessel in hot water or using Wax warmers.You can also warm it in microwave using a microwave safe vessel. Always check the heat before you use it.
2. Test the temperature before applying the wax to your skin. It should be warm, but not scalding, or you can burn yourself.
3. Clean the area where you want to wax. Pat it dry and apply loose powder with a powder puff or sponge to keep it oil free.
4.Once the wax cools slightly, test it on your finger. Blow on it, to cool it with your breath and apply it to your skin with a butter knife or waxing knife, in the direction of hair growth.
4. Place a clean cotton cloth strip on the wax and yank it against the direction of hair growth.
5. Wipe the area clean with a cold cloth or a clean sponge after you've finished waxing.
6. Apply ice to the waxed area or clean the area with cold water, to close and tighten pores.
7. You may notice that your skin has turned red, or that you have tiny bumps on the skin immediately after waxing. This is a normal reaction, and the redness and bumps should disappear within an hour.
8. Apply moisturizer or soothing lotion after cleaning the skin.
9. Gently massage the area with moisturizer so that moisturizer sinks into the skin and soothes it.
10. If you see any single hairs that are didn't come out , remove them with threading or plucking.
Note : Using disposable waxing strips is hygienic and keep us away from infections and allergies.. So I advice you to use disposable waxing strips.
