Tips On How To Use Sugar In Hair Removal
Susan Mathiesen
Sugaring, a recipe for hair removal. This hair removal
technique starts in the kitchen. Start with a cup of regular
sugar, a quarter cup of honey, and juice from half of a lemon.
Microwave this mixture for two to three minutes or until it
starts to bubble. It should have a smooth consistency at this
point. Leave the bowl to cool for about five minutes.
Now that the sugar solution has cooled you need to get a wooden
stick similar to a tongue depressor for applying it, while still
in the kitchen grab some corn starch. You will also need
multiple strips of non colored cloth, cutting up an old white
T-shirt works well.
Sugaring works like waxing and the sugar and honey solution
will stick to the hairs to assist you in pulling the hairs out
by the roots, so unfortunately, like waxing, it will hurt.
Clean and dry beforehand the area you plan on sugaring. Be
careful that this area is free from residue of soaps or
lotions. It is said that sugaring will work the best on the
upper lip hair line and the bikini area. This process is messy
so it is best to do this in the bathroom or somewhere you can
be sure clean up is as easy as possible.
Start by spreading some cornstarch on the area to be treated.
Please note that whatever area you decide to treat the effects
will last from two to six weeks with fine hair growth beginning
to show about two weeks after the application. The more
noticeable hair growths will show about four weeks after
application.
After you have prepped the area with the cornstarch use the
wooden stick or some similar applicator to apply a thin layer
of the sugar mixture. Next, place a strip of cotton cloth over
this. Use your hand to apply moderate pressure to this cloth
rubbing it in the opposite direction of your hair growth. Take
the end of the cloth strip and swiftly snatch it off in the
opposite direction from that which your hair grows in. Use warm
water on the treated skin to take off any of the sticky sugar
mixture which may remain. If you desire, you can put an
unscented lotion on the skin now.
Ahh, now you can relax you have mastered sugaring.
