It Lasts Longer Than Bothersome Shaving!

One of the earliest methods of hair removal was used by Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt. Historical records tell us that Cleopatra met with her handmaidens once a month for a
hair removal session. Sugar, oil, and lime juice were mixed together to make the first known "Body Sugar." Just like the famous ruler made her own hair removing concoction, you too can save money and make your own homemade body sugar for quick hair removal.

There are several methods available today to remove hair from your body. Electrolysis is the only permanent method. All the remaining methods- shaving, waxing, plucking, using depilatories, sugaring, et cetera, are all temporary modes.

"Sugaring", which is the practice of using a sugar mixture, doesn't need to be done as often as shaving does. That's one big advantage. "Sugaring" is also less dangerous than shaving. You can use homemade body sugar to remove hair from anywhere on your body. However, using body sugar takes more time than conventional shaving. And, it's a bit more painful.

To make your own homemade body sugar, you'll only need a few inexpensive ingredients. You'll need one cup of white sugar, one quarter cup honey, and one ounce of lemon juice. You can add a bit of molasses if you have any on hand, just to make the mixture stickier. But it's not necessary.

Place all of the ingredients in a small microwave-safe bowl. Mix them around a little bit, though it's going to be hard right now. Then, microwave the mixture on high for a couple minutes. Remove the bowl with pot holders-it's going to be hot- and stir it well. If it's smooth, it's ready to use. If it's not, microwave it for another 30 to sixty seconds. Remove it from the microwave oven and allow it to cool a bit. The body sugar mixture should be warm, but not burning hot when you use it.

To use your homemade body sugar for quick hair removal, you'll need some popsicle sticks, or small, plastic spatulas. You'll also need some strips of cotton or muslin material. Old bedsheets work well for this purpose. Strips that measure approximately three inches wide and are a foot long seem to work the best.

  • "Sugaring" is the practice of using a sugary mixture to remove body hair.
  • Honey, sugar, and lemon juice make an effective, inexpensive mixture to remove hair.
  • Leftover body sugar should be stored in a sealed microwave-safe container.

This actually works. The publisher left out a step, which why it did not work. so I'll tell you the right way. 1st: Follow her steps. 2nd: Grab your plastic spatula, and put the wax on your muslin paper. 3rd: left it dry for about 20 sec. 4th: Get a muslin paper and fold it into halves. 5th: stick it to your face and pull away gently but fast. 6th: You should see hair after you pull away. If this works, contact me at xxaimeexharuxx@aol.com.
This is stupid, did not work AT ALL. just left a sticky mess, and no hair was removed whatsoever. I'm so disappointed. I advise others not to waste their time.
Just finished trying this sugaring recipe. DID NOT WORK AT ALL! DO NOT FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE GO TO A DIFFERENT WEBSITE FOR A BETTER RECIPE!
pull with the hair gorwth, as you would shave, and not water, honey hold onto the hairs, while water would remove it.
i feel a bit scared to try at first.....but i think im going to try it..lets c how it goes....
This didn't work for me :( It was just really sticky and when I put it on my leg, then the material, then pulled, no segments of hairs were removed at all . . . I honestly don't know what I did wrong, I followed the instructions. Can anyone help me?
I was wondering if water works as good as honey does. (I have never tryed it by the way) And I was windering if I could lower the amount of sugar used..to about half a cup or one cup? PLEASE HLP ME!!

Better than waxing because you can wash up with warm water and a cloth. Hair doesn't have to be as long to remove it as it does with waxing. After a couple of complete sugar treatments the hair will come in finer and much less hair is present. This makes the process much easier and less painful. Don't give up.....it is worth it to never have to shave.
what's in sugar that removes the hair?
