Sugar Paste Tutorial

You can use sugar paste to remove unwanted hair.

If you are tired of cutting your legs with a razor when you are trying to remove unwanted hair, you can avoid this by using a sugar paste to remove the hair instead. Sugaring paste is similar to hot leg wax in that it pulls the hair out by the roots, but using it can often feel less painful than the waxing. Instead of spending a lot of money having your legs professionally sugared, you can make your own sugar paste at home.

Things You'll Need

• Lemon juice
• Granulated sugar
• Water
• Pot
• Plastic container with lid

Instructions

1. Combine 2 cups of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of concentrated lemon juice and 1/4 cup of water in a pot.

2. Heat the mixture until it boils, then turn the heat down to allow the mixture to simmer.

3. Simmer the mixture for 30 minutes, stirring it well. The mixture will turn golden brown and will thicken.

4. Let the mixture cool for 20 minutes.

5. Pour the mixture into a plastic container with a lid to store it until you use it. You can use sugar paste as you would hot wax.
