Sugar and Lemon Juice Wax
Adding fresh lemon juice to homemade sugar wax recipes is
highly beneficial as it acts as a natural anti-microbial agent
and fights against breakout—causing bacteria to prevent
bumps. It also nourishes the facial skin deeply with its high
vitamin C content.
Step 1: Put 1 cup of brown sugar or white sugar, 2 tablespoons
of freshly squeezed lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of water in
a bowl.
Step 2: Place the bowl over medium heat and keep stirring the
mixture with the spoon.
Step 3: Do it for 8-10 minutes. Meanwhile, the mixture should
become quite thicker and the consistency should become like
honey.
Step 4: Once you get the right consistency of your wax, turn
the Feat off and remove the bowl from the flame. Let it cool
down for a few minutes.
Step 5:Now, it's time for application. Take some Homemade
wax onto the spatula and apply to tile area, where you want to
remove flair.
Step 6: Take a cloth strip and place it over the area where you
have just applied the wax. Press firmly with your fingers and
smooth out -Following the direction of growth of your kair.
Step 7: Then, pull the cloth swiftly (apply as sharp motion as
possible) just in the opposite direction (reverse of your Fair
growth). Your movement skould be firm and rapid.
Step 8: Continue the process unless you get rid of all the
unwanted hair.
Precaution : Before applying your WaX recipe, make sure to
clean the area where you would be applying the mixture and
allow it to dry .
Note 1: Homemade sugar waxing uses a thick sugar substrate
that sticks only to the flair instead of sticking to the skin,
thereby causing muck lesser pain than regular waxing.
Note 2: Always apply an ice cube or some fresh aloe vera gel to
the waxed areas right after the procedure. It will reduce
sensitivity and soothe the skin to a great extent.
Mote 3: If there is an inflammation or sunburn then don't go
for waxing as it can cause further irritation on the skin. Avoid
areas where you have piercing, cuts or acne.
Note 4: You can keep homemade sugar wax in an airtight
container for 12-14 days. Heat it up in a microwave for 10-15
seconds or more till you get the desired consistency.
Note 5: While making the wax, heating part is quite tricky.
Your wax must not be too soft or too hard. If you remove the
bowl from the heat too early, the mixture will remain too soft
and you will find it extremely sticky during waxing .
Conversly, if you cook it for long , it will become hard just like
a candy .
