Why shave when you can make your own sugar wax right at home? Today we’ll show you how to make sugar wax at home in just a few easy steps! Long gone are the days of shaving (or at least they should be)! Shaving causes ingrown hairs, razor bumps, and irritated skin. Not only that but shaving only lasts a couple of days! By the end of the year, you’ll have spent hundreds of dollars on razors and shaving cream. I think we can find much better ways to spend our money!
The great thing about sugar wax is that it’s so much better for your skin than shaving or waxing. It’s all-natural, and doesn’t rip the hairs or cause bumps or irritation. Sugar wax is also a much gentler way of removing hair and doesn’t hurt nearly as much as waxing.
Oh, and did we mention how cheap it is to make your own sugar wax? Because the only ingredients you need are sugar, water, and lemon juice – could I get an amen?!
So let’s check out how to make sugar wax at home with this DIY sugar wax recipe!
You’ll Need:
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup water
As you can see, the ingredients are all 100% natural and you probably already have them in your kitchen. Plus, imagine the amount of money you’ll be saving! This DIY sugar wax recipe is super easy to make. Just be careful not to burn yourself. If possible, have a friend or family member give you a hand!
For those with sensitive skin, be sure to test the homemade wax on a small patch of skin first. It’s natural for a little redness to appear on the skin after waxing.
Directions:
- In a medium-sized pot, add all of the ingredients and mix them with a wooden spoon.
- Place the pot over high heat. Wait until the mixture becomes bubbly and frothy.
- Turn the heat to medium, and stir constantly. It’s extremely important that you stir, stir, stir. Otherwise, the mixture will harden and you’ll have to start over again.
- Cook on medium heat while stirring constantly until mixture reaches a medium golden brown color. This should take about 5-10 minutes.
- Remove the pot from heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, take a spoonful of the sugar wax mixture and place it in the fridge. Allow it to cool, and if the consistency still isn’t right, return the mixture to heat.
- The consistency should be a thick, manageable consistency. You should be able to pick it up just like wax
- Allow cooling at least 30 minutes.
- Once cooled, transfer to a bowl. Read more
