Based on a technique developed by the ancient Egyptians, sugaring removes hair using a natural ingredient - sugar. The procedure is gentle on your skin, and if accidentally swallowed, tastes delicious.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Step1
Understand that sugar is mixed into a paste (basic ingredients are sugar, water and lemon juice) and warmed.
Step2
Be ready for the warmed sugar to be spread thinly, applied in the same direction as the way the hair is growing.
Step3
Realize that cotton strips are pressed into the paste, and left to dry.
Step4
Watch as the strips are then pulled out in the opposite direction.
Step5
See that your skin is now silky smooth.
Step6
Know that you will need to be re-sugared every four to six weeks.
Step7
Use sugaring anywhere on your body, except men's beards, because beards have a network of hair root systems unfazed by sugaring.
Step8
Be comforted to know sugaring is made from 100% all natural ingredients.
Step9
Prepare to spend $10 to $15 per jar of paste for at-home treatment, which is the most popular form of treatment. The cost for professional treatment, which is usually a flat fee rather than an hourly fee, varies depending on body part.
