Sugar Waxing Ingredients

If you love to DIY, body sugaring is one procedure you may find easy and simple to complete yourself at home. Sugaring is said to have been the primary method of hair removal in ancient Egypt and for good reason. It is easy to make, easy to complete and a very popular hair removal method still in our times for those wanting to use sugar waxing in NW Calgary.

The ingredients in the actual paste are all-natural, making them a dream for sensitive skin types. Sugaring also pulls from the root of the hair, and less on the skin, making it less painful.

If you're sporting thick hair, waxing may be a better fit, but sugaring is lauded among fine-haired folks for its ease of use and promising results as well.

Sugar waxing in NW Calgary is an all-natural waxing solution that has been used for many years. The benefits of sugar wax are the exfoliating and hydrating results, which are not typically found after waxing or shaving. Shaving can cause ingrown hairs in coarser hair types and hair grows back quickly, but sugaring pulls from the root, leading to longer-lasting, more permanent hair reduction.? Results can last up to 28 days, which is impressive, and sugar waxing in NW Calgary can be done with ingredients you likely already have in your home already.

Sugar Waxing Ingredients

Here's all you'll need for an at-home sugar waxing in NW Calgary.

1 cup white sugar

1/8 cup lemon juice (or apple cider vinegar)

1/8 cup warm water

Instructions

• Place a medium-sized pot on the stove and add all ingredients to the pot.
• Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, making sure to stir frequently to avoid burning.
• Once the mixture starts bubbling, reduce to medium heat and continue to stir frequently.
• Remove the pot from heat when the mixture turns golden brown. The consistency of your sugar paste should be similar to hot syrup. If it's thick like honey, heat it a little longer.
• Transfer to a bowl and let the paste cool for 30 minutes. The wax should still be warm but easy to manipulate.

PRO TIP: Use white sugar (versus brown) for the sugar paste, as it's hard to see the colour change with brown sugar and it hardens too quickly.
