Try this DIY Sugar Wax To Remove Hair Naturally

If you’re tired of shaving your legs, waxing is the next best option. A lot of people are afraid of waxing because of the pain involved, but with this DIY sugar wax remedy, you can remove the hair without all the pain. Folks who have tried this have had excellent results and say the pain is much less than a typical wax.

Sugar waxing has been around for a very long time and has been popularly used in Egypt and Lebanon. So if you’re looking to stay clear of harsh chemicals and still get smooth legs and arms, then this is something you should definitely try.

How to make your DIY sugar wax

It’s very simple to make your own sugar wax and do the process yourself at home. Here are the ingredients you’ll need:

• 1 cup of sugar of your choice (white, brown or coconut)
• 2 Tbsp of water
• 1 1/2 Tbsp lime juice
• 1 tsp sea salt

Once you’ve gathered your ingredients, put them into a saucepan and allow it to simmer on low heat until it turns into a thickened golden brown paste. Make sure the crystals dissolve by stirring the contents with a spoon. It takes less than 10 minutes for this process. Just make sure that it doesn’t burn.

After it has the color and consistency you’re looking for, take it off the heat and allow it to cool for a few minutes. While it is cooling, you should begin washing and exfoliating your legs. You can use natural ingredients like sea salt.

How to use your sugar wax

Dry your legs and then apply arrowroot powder on them, then begin applying the warm wax to your skin. Rub it downward, in the direction that your hair grows. Using a cloth, press it against the wax. Once the wax has cooled to your body temperature, remove the cloth quickly. If you don’t get all of the hairs, wait a few days before doing this again.

Wash off the remaining wax and apply grape seed or coconut oil to your skin to reduce redness. And that’s it!

As a word of caution, you don’t want to try this remedy on body parts like the bikini area, brows, upper lip or underarms, since these are more sensitive.  For these, you can try some of these facial hair removal treatments, or hair removal creams.
