At Home Sugar Waxing – Body Sugaring Recipe

At Home Sugar Waxing is an all-natural way to get rid of unwanted hair in the comfort and privacy of your own home. 

I’ve recently had many ladies ask me for my sugaring recipe, so I decided that I would post it on here so its easier to access.

What is sugaring, you ask? Well, its an all natural “wax” that you make from sugar, honey and sometimes, molasses. It’s cheaper than going to get your legs (eyebrows, lip, underarms, etc) waxed, and better for your skin.

It doesn’t hurt as much as wax either. This process is used a lot in the Middle East. Here is recipe and process:

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • Half a lemon for the juice
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • A drizzle of Molasses (optional)
  • Cornstarch (to powder with for tautness making it more effective)
  • Something to spread the mixture with like a tongue depressor, popsicle stick, cheese spreader or spatula.
  • Cotton fabric (any old thing you can find or buy some strips at a store)

Instructions

Mix lemon, sugar, and honey in a bowl. Microwave on high for about 2-3 minutes, until it bubbles into a smooth consistency. I find this a lot simpler then turning on the stove, but it would be safer if you watched over the heat on the stove. If you use the stove use LOW heat.

Now move away from the mixture and go do something while it cools a little down so you can touch it safely. A little bit warmer though is better though to use. Microwave it for 20 seconds if you find the need to.

The NADS commercial said re-heating isn’t necessary, but it’s no big deal doing so. I find it is necessary, as all sugaring products do need just a little heat.

Make sure your legs, or wherever you wish to place it is clean and dry. Then dust area with cornstarch so it’s more effective as it draws out oil. Spread a thin layer on your leg. Cover with a strip of fabric, and rubbing the strip the opposite way of hair growth, about 3 times.

Grab the fabric end and pull it off very quickly against the direction of the hair growth or the other way if you wish. It will hurt, but after awhile it’s a lot less painful. I’m sure you’re strong enough to withstand pain. Reheat the mix if it gets too hard to spread. This stores for a long time. I just use a vitamin E face cream container that’s plastic since that’s fairly big which costs only a buck at the dollar store.

Just make sure it’s clean and oil free. You could also use a glass jar as well.
