Body sugaring is an ancient method of hair removal, using water, sugar, and lemon juice. Historians know that the Egyptians used this natural process. Reviews say that it is less painful than waxing. You can buy sugaring products and do this at home, or you can go to a spa that offers it. You can also mix your own paste or gel and make the entire process do-it-yourself.
To make your own sugaring formula, you will need a heavy (very heavy) saucepan and a candy thermometer. One common formula is 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup water, and 2 cups of sugar. You cook it on the stove like you were making candy: bring to a boil, simmer slowly until the mixture is a clear, deep amber color and reaches 250 degrees. Allow it to cool slightly and pour it into a heat-proof jar with lid.
Although the recipe seems to be standard on online sites, there are differing opinions on how to remove unwanted hair. You can smooth hot paste on with a popsicle stick, applying it it in the opposite direction of hair growth. Each hair follicle must be completely coated. Take care that the formula isn't hot enough to burn your skin.
Press thin cotton or muslin strips onto your coated skin, allow to set for several minutes, and then jerk the strips off in the direction of hair growth. When waxing, you pull the cloth off in the opposite direction of hair growth, which causes considerably more discomfort. If the mixture cools too much to spread easily, you can reheat it in a microwave.
Another way is to use the paste when it is warm - room temperature or at body heat. Spread it on with your hands in the opposite way to hair growth, coating the follicles thoroughly. Wait several minutes and them 'flick' sections of it off a finger. There are videos to show how people do this flicking.
If you decide to do your own exfoliating, it pays to watch more than one video. Experts say that failure with sugaring is due to improper preparation of the formula or to improper removal techniques. Millions use this method, so you can succeed, too. You may prefer to visit a spa and have the salon take care of all the details.
In addition to removing hair, sugaring is supposed to improve skin appearance, texture, and health. Users say that hair grows back finer, softer, and eventually not at all. They say their skin looks and feel great, since the process removes dead skin cells as well as hair. Apparently the sugary mix doesn't adhere to live cells. People with eczema or psoriasis report improvement in their skin with regular treatments.
Sugar hair removal has many fans. Check to see if a spa near you offers this alternative to waxing or shaving. Any part of your body can be 'sugared'. Or try it at home; you may never have to wax or shave again.
