Hair on the body, especially visible parts can be such an embarrassment which many women have to deal with.

There are different ways to help get rid of body, e.g traditional waxing, hair creams however, one effective way is the Sugaring procedure.

Sugaring is a hair removal technique that uses an all-natural paste comprising of a mixture of sugar, lemon, and water mixed together to create a sticky paste that pulls off body hair.

It is quite effective and is also said to be much less uncomfortable than waxing. As it contains non-toxic ingredients, it is also suitable for sensitive skin.

Sugar when mixed with lemon juice and water will help to remove unwanted hair and exfoliate the skin to remove accumulated dead skin.

Here are the steps:

Ingredients

• 1 cup of sugar
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1/4 cup water
•  a candy thermometer if you have one
• a glass jar for storing

Preparation

• In a pan add the sugar first before adding the lemon juice and water.
• Make sure the liquids cover all the sugar.
• Turn the heat on, place the pan on the heat, and let the mixture boil.
• Once the mixture boils, the temperature quickly rises so it is better to stay there without leaving it unattended.
• Watch for your mixture to change to a warm honey color (not too dark!)
• Using a candy meter, measure the temperature.
• Once the temperature reaches 240 degrees, remove from the flame and pour it into a glass container.
• Let the mixture cool down to room temperature before use.
• Clean the area you want to apply the mixture and pat dry.
• Apply baby powder on the area you want to put the sugar scrub.
• Scoop out the mixture and spread it in the direction of the hair.
• After a few minutes, remove it in the opposite direction of the hair.
• Wipe the area with a wet cloth and pat dry.
• Wait 24 hours for any hot showers, repetitive motion activities (e.g. running), or soothing ointments or serums. Be extra careful to keep the area clean. After 24 hours, you can apply soothing oil (coconut oil recommended for its antimicrobial properties) or aloe vera.
• If storing, oil your storage jar as lightly as a jar can be oiled before putting your kneaded ball in. This will make removal much easier.
• Repeat the process as required.

Sugaring can be done anywhere from your eyebrows to your bikini area to your legs.
