How to make your own sugaring paste. Paste recipes for home sugaring: hair removal will be simple and cheap! Composition with fructose

Body hair removal is a necessary procedure for modern women, which is dictated by fashion. Depending on genetic characteristics, the area of ​​hair removal and the number of areas of hair removal vary from woman to woman. Some have to epilate only the bikini area, legs and armpits, others – arms, areas on the face, etc.

The larger the area to be epilated, the more time and effort the procedure takes, which is why women want to do it as rarely as possible. Salons offer many solutions. Relatively new is hair removal using a sugar-containing paste. This is not a cheap procedure, especially since it can be done at home.

Pasta recipe ingredients

Cooking sugaring at home is not only simple, but also economical. To prepare the paste you need the following ingredients:

1. Sugar;
2. Lemon juice;
3. Water.

If you use 1 kg of sugar for the mixture, the resulting paste will last for 4 months. For 1 kg of sugar you need 8 tablespoons of water and 7 tablespoons of lemon juice.

Unlike wax, use . It does not cause sharp sensations of discomfort and acute pain, like wax strips. However, for beginners, it is better to train on the least painful areas first, such as the legs, and only then move on to the more painful ones - armpits, bikini, face, etc. In addition, reviews indicate that irritation from sugaring is less than from waxing. In addition, the remaining paste is easier to wash off from the skin.

Methodology

The peculiarity of the procedure is that it can be performed without using fabric strips. But if someone is used to them, then you can use them. But in the absence of stripes, greater efficiency of the material is achieved.

The master takes a small piece of caramel and kneads it in his hands until it acquires sufficient plasticity. “Spreads” the caramel onto the areas you want to remove hairs in the opposite direction of hair growth, forming a thin layer of caramel on the skin.
After a few seconds, after the caramel has cooled for some time, the plate must be torn off the skin with a sharp movement. You can apply the paste to strips of fabric and apply them to the skin, and then use them to pick off the caramel. If the mixture cools and hardens during the process, it is heated in a water bath.

Preparing paste for sugaring at home, step-by-step cooking instructions: citric acid is also needed

Cooking paste for sugaring will not work quickly. But it stores well, and therefore it can be prepared immediately in quantities sufficient for several uses. If you make it from 1 kg of sugar, the resulting paste will be enough for 12 - 15 leg epilations.

It’s better to make sugaring paste at home in a saucepan that you don’t mind, since the sugar can burn if you’re not careful enough.

WATCH VIDEO INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare the mixture as follows:

• Mix 1 kg of sugar, 7 tablespoons of lemon juice and 8 tablespoons of water in a saucepan;
• Place the mixture over high heat so that the sugar quickly begins to melt, but does not have time to burn. Stir it constantly. Wait a few seconds;
• Reduce heat by half and cover the pan with a lid. So you need to cook the sugaring paste for another 10 minutes. After this time, open the lid and stir the mixture. You will notice that it now looks more like caramel and smells like it;
• Leave for another 10 minutes and stir again;
• Leave covered for another 10 minutes. Open the lid and check if the sugar has reached a liquid, uniform consistency. If not, leave for another 10 minutes without stirring. If yes, stir and leave for another 10 minutes;
• After this time, the sugar should begin to gurgle;
• After a few minutes, the composition will become homogeneous and transparent, without visible inclusions, and will begin to clearly boil and form foam. Open the lid and simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring gently;
• Pour the mixture into a tall plastic container.

Fill the pan with boiling water immediately, otherwise you will not be able to wash it. The mixture cools down to a state in which it can be worked within 3 hours. Making sugaring paste at home is not difficult, but it is a lengthy process.

Executing the procedure

You can apply the paste either manually or using a spatula or napkins. Applying with a spatula requires some skill, since the paste is quite thick and sugaring yourself in this way may be inconvenient.
When applying caramel, stretch the skin in the opposite direction of hair growth. Thanks to this, you will achieve maximum hair coverage with the paste. This means that more of them will be removed. Wait 1 – 2 minutes. The paste should not completely harden, but should firmly grip the hairs. After this period, pick the caramel in the direction of growth.

Arms and legs - the right approach

It is easiest to do sugaring at home in this area. It is the most convenient and physically accessible. Pain and discomfort are minimal. The procedure is quick due to the fact that the composition can be applied immediately to large areas, etc. Only after the procedure on the legs and arms is not too painful can you move on to more delicate areas.

One piece of paste can be reused by kneading it again in your hands and rolling it out again if it has become soft enough. It is better to start the procedure on steamed skin, so there will be less discomfort.

Epilation of the bikini area

It is more difficult to do sugaring in the bikini area correctly at home. The skin in this area is delicate, so the feeling of discomfort may be stronger. It is better to use a thicker paste for the bikini area and armpits. Since the skin there is more moisturized, liquid pastes will flow down and not grip the hair tightly enough. As a result, the result will not be very good.

You need to act in the same way as in the area of ​​​​the legs and arms - apply the paste against the growth of hairs and pluck according to the growth. However, apply it to small areas. Both when applying and when removing, be sure to stretch the skin, as in the bikini area it is not as elastic as on the arms and legs.

Armpits are afraid of sugar paste

Doing sugaring hair removal at home (as in salons) is extremely painful due to the specifics of this area. However, there are several ways to reduce pain. Home anesthesia can be used. Steam the skin before starting the procedure or, conversely, cool it by applying ice cubes to it. However, even with a very thick paste, the procedure should be carried out on as dry skin as possible, so before applying the paste, dry it thoroughly with a napkin.

Pull the skin taut and spread the paste. Wait a few seconds. Pull the skin taut again and pull off the caramel.

Face

Sugaring strips at home are very easy to use on the face. The procedure in this area is the least painful. Even compared to legs and arms. This is due to the fact that the hairs on the face are thin and do not have a powerful root. They are easier to remove and do not cause such discomfort.

Regardless of the area in which hair removal is carried out, the length of the hairs should be 4–5 mm for those who have previously done sugaring or waxed hair, and 6–8 mm for those who are epilating the skin for the first time.

Hairs 2 mm or less in length are almost impossible to remove using this method.

Sugaring or, more simply, sugar hair removal is performed using sugar paste. There is no particular difficulty in preparing sugar paste. For it you will need sugar, water, lemon juice or citric acid.

If cooking sugar paste seems too difficult and time-consuming for you, then you can buy ready-made ones, of which there are a great many on sale now.

Prices for sugaring pastes

Recipes

As you can see, the prices for professional pastes do not correspond to the cost of their components. Making thick sugar syrup at home is as easy as shelling pears. So why pay more?

Video: Cooking pasta in 10 minutes

Step-by-step cooking instructions

• sugar 10 tablespoons;
• water 1 tablespoon;
• half a lemon.

Step 1. It is necessary to choose the right temperature for preparing the syrup from the very beginning. All the time it is necessary to cook the pasta over constant heat, without decreasing or increasing it.

Step 2. Mix the paste ingredients in a heatproof bowl and begin heating the mixture, stirring constantly. The sugar should completely dissolve. As the mixture cooks, it darkens and takes on a caramel smell. Once the mixture turns golden brown, bring it to a boil and let it simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 3. Remove the mixture from the heat and allow it time to cool.

Step 4. In order to check the correct preparation of homemade sugar paste, you need to take a small amount of the warm mixture and try to roll it into a ball. If the paste does not spread or stick to your fingers, then it is prepared correctly and can be used for hair removal.

Step 5. If the paste spreads or sticks, you need to heat it again and add a small amount of sugar. If the sugar syrup has frozen into candy, you need to add a little more water when heating.

If the mixture begins to smell like burnt sugar instead of caramel, then all that remains is to throw it away; it is not suitable for hair removal. If you already have successful experience in preparing a small amount of sugar paste, then you can use a recipe for preparing a large amount of syrup at once, which can then be used for a long time. We take:

• sugar 1 kg;
• lemon juice 7 tablespoons;
• water 8 tablespoons.

Cook the mixture for 40-45 minutes, stirring constantly so that the sugar does not stick to the bottom of the pan. You can check readiness in a simple way: you need to drop a small amount of syrup into cold water. If the mixture hardens, the paste is ready and can be removed from the heat. The warm paste should roll well into a ball and should not be sticky or, on the contrary, brittle.

If you decide to use citric acid instead of lemon juice, then do not forget to add more water, otherwise you will cook hard caramel, tasty, but unsuitable for sugaring.

How to choose?

Pay attention to the composition and be critical of the manufacturers' advertising promises. The water in the pata can be any kind, even “specially purified” or ordinary. This does not affect the properties of the paste.

Lemon juice or citric acid must be included in the composition, since it is under the influence of acid that sugar breaks down into glucose, fructose, and sucrose. Without this chemical reaction, the paste will not be able to acquire its ability to remove hair well without the risk of injury to the skin.

Citric acid is completely consumed when preparing sugar paste and cannot in any way harm the skin during sugaring. Sugar in the paste can be designated as sugar or as the end products of the reaction that occurs during the preparation of the paste: glucose, fructose, sucrose. Simply fructose may also be indicated as the component that has the best adhesion to the hair.

Preservatives are not needed in properly prepared pasta, since concentrated sugar syrup itself is an excellent preservative. If they are indicated in the composition, then it is better to refuse to purchase it, since it may be produced in violation of technology or its composition does not correspond to what is declared.

Essential oils are used only to impart a recognizable aroma, and such a low concentration does not affect the condition of the skin in any way, and a higher concentration increases the likelihood of allergic reactions.

Vitamins from lemon juice in paste are destroyed by heat treatment, and artificially synthesized vitamins do not have a significant effect on the epidermis.

Dyes and flavors give the paste a pinkish, orange, greenish tint and a specific smell, which, according to the manufacturer’s idea, should make his product recognizable. This does not affect the properties of sugar molasses, but can cause allergies.

Different plasticity of pastes. Depending on the water content in the paste, its plasticity or density changes. Its ability to remove hair well at different temperatures also changes.

What temperature is significant for the sugaring procedure:

• the temperature of the client’s body and its individual zones: the bikini area and armpits are much warmer than the arms and legs;
• room temperature;
• temperature of the hair removal specialist's hands.

What types of pastes are there by density:

If the density and temperature in the description of the paste do not tell you anything yet, then you can use mini-kits for sugaring, which include a small amount of pastes of different densities. Such sets are available from Gloria and Cannaan.

Pastes of different densities can be mixed to obtain a paste that is suitable in its plastic properties for each specific situation.

Home or salon use. For home use, a number of manufacturers offer ready-made kits, which, in addition to pastes, include lotions for preparation for the procedure and after hair removal.

According to the properties of the hair. Some manufacturers indicate on the label that a particular paste is intended for the removal of fine hair, thick hair or vellus hair. In fact, the thickness of the hair and its color are not decisive indicators for its choice.

There are different ways to apply pastes. Sugar paste can be applied like warm wax from a cassette. To do this, the paste is placed in a cassette, which is suitable in size for wax melters. She has a special roller that distributes the heated paste over the skin along the hair growth.

Using special strips for hair removal, the paste along with the hair is removed against the direction of hair growth. This technique is also called bandage. Soft and ultra-soft pastes are often used for it. The paste can be applied by hand using the method discussed below. This is the so-called manual method. Pastes of normal density and very dense are used for it.

Instructions for use

1. Hair for sugaring must grow by 3-4 mm, otherwise it will not be captured well by the paste.
2. A day or two before the procedure, you can do peeling, this will make hair removal easier and reduce discomfort.
3. On the day of the procedure, steaming before epilation will expand the pores, so that hair will be removed with less effort and will not break off.
4. After steaming, the skin must be wiped dry and treated with a preparatory lotion for hair removal.
5. For the sugaring procedure, the sugar paste must be heated so that it is slightly warm. Usually this is 37-40 O C. To do this, you can put it in the microwave at minimum power for 30-60 seconds. Then it is easier to separate a piece from the entire mass of pasta and it is much easier to knead it. And applying a warm paste to the skin is much more pleasant.
6. While the paste is heating up, apply talcum powder or baby powder to the skin.
7. One portion of paste the size of a quail egg should be kneaded in your hands until it becomes sufficiently pliable and changes color to a lighter color. Then use your fingers to spread the sugar syrup over the skin against hair growth, using sufficient pressure. Tear off the paste with the hair stuck to it according to the hair growth. Here it is worth paying attention to the fact that the layer of paste should not be pulled upward, but precisely against hair growth, almost parallel to the skin. If you start pulling upwards, you can give yourself bruises and break off your hair in places, which will cause it to grow back in a day or two.
8. If there are still hairs in the place where you performed sugar hair removal, you can repeat the procedure 1-2 more times. Single hairs can be removed with tweezers.
9. The remaining paste from the skin is washed off with warm water. At the end of the procedure, you can apply post-epilation lotion to the skin with a soothing and anti-inflammatory effect.

Here are some tips that will greatly facilitate the procedure at home:

• be sure to bring the mixture to the desired consistency, since you will not be able to work with a paste that is too liquid or too dense;
• choose a room where it will be warm and dry enough: if it is hot or humid (for example, in the bathroom), the paste will spread and stick more than usual, so the effect of the procedure may be bad, and you will have to spend much more time;
• if the hair length is more than 5 mm, it is better to cut it first with scissors or a special hair clipper, otherwise the risk of hair breakage increases and the procedure itself becomes more painful;
• if you decide to remove hair from a large area of ​​skin at once, be sure to ensure that the areas you are moving to do not become wet from sweat or greasy due to sebum secretion; be sure to blot them with a towel or powder them with talcum powder;
• carefully stretch and firmly fix the skin before tearing off the layer of paste with hair, otherwise it will be painful and there is a risk of bruising;
• do not store the paste in the refrigerator, it can become sugary, and instead of sugaring you will get a sugar scrub;
• if you use a professional paste, be sure to select its density according to the temperature of the room, your hands, and be sure to heat the paste, if provided by the manufacturer, to the desired temperature in a wax melter or microwave;
• use professional hair removal paste of different densities for different areas of the body;
• take care of your fingers: excessive stress on the joints of the hands when kneading too dense paste, which just needs to be heated in the microwave, can lead to problems with the joints in the long term.

“and I think many were able to note the advantages of sugaring. Another big advantage of sugar paste is its natural composition; it looks and smells like caramel. After all, it contains sugar, water, lemon juice or citric acid. If you decide to prepare sugar paste for sugaring at home, then the Internet is full of different recipes for making sugar paste, and to find the desired sugaring recipe for home sugaring, you will have to spend a lot of time and raw materials. I’ll tell you a recipe for making sugaring at home, which I use myself. But to achieve the right paste consistency you need experience and skill. Therefore, do not be discouraged if you are unable to prepare your own sugar paste for hair removal the first time, because even the most proven sugaring recipe will not guarantee that you will be able to prepare exactly the density of homemade sugaring paste that you planned. Preparing a paste of a certain density depends on many factors: the quality of sugar and its humidity, boiling time and temperature, how much liquid has evaporated, etc.

To prepare homemade sugaring, you will need a tall stainless steel pan, preferably with a thick bottom. The height of the pan is important to avoid foaming problems and depends on the volume of sugar paste you are preparing.

Sugaring recipe for making medium density paste:

• 250 gr. sugar (about 15 tbsp)
• 25 ml. clean water (about 2 tbsp)
• 20 ml. lemon juice (about 4 tsp, if you replace it with citric acid, then it’s about a quarter of a teaspoon)

The process of preparing sugar paste for sugaring at home

1. Mix all the ingredients in the pan of your choice
2. Place the pan on low (low) heat. If you put it on high heat, the sugar will melt unevenly and burn. Therefore, initially put it on low heat; sugar paste for sugaring at home should be prepared at one temperature in order to obtain the plasticity so necessary for sugaring.
3. Melt the sugar. It is best to do this with the lid closed, so the sugar will melt evenly and not burn.
4. After about 5 minutes, stir, close the lid and leave to cook further. You shouldn’t stir it often, as you can change the manufacturing temperature, but it’s important for us to stick to one temperature. It is enough to stir when the sugar has boiled and when it has completely dissolved.
5. After about 5 more minutes, stir and leave to cook without a lid. By this time, the sugar should have melted and begin to boil (bubble). The paste will begin to take on a light golden color.
6. Next, cook for about another 10-12 minutes. The color of the paste should already have an amber tint, without sugar granules, and transparent. It is important to remove from heat in time; if you see that the paste has begun to turn golden, turn off the stove; the paste for sugaring at home is ready. The main thing here is to catch the moment when the paste begins to darken and when the obvious smell of burnt sugar (caramel) appears.

1. To check whether the sugar paste is ready or not, you can drop a couple of drops into a glass of cold water. If the drops spread, it means the sugaring paste at home is not ready yet. If the drops do not spread, take one and, kneading it with your fingers, check for viscousness.
2. Turn off the stove and pour the finished sugar paste into a container prepared in advance. Close the container with a lid and let the paste cool at room temperature. The sugar paste should be immediately poured into a heat-resistant container to prevent it from continuing to cook in the pan.
3. The paste should be stored in a tightly closed container without any deformation of 0-30° on it. If the paste is hermetically packaged, then the humidity of the room does not play any role and your sugar paste for sugaring at home will retain its working properties for a long time. And it is better to store it in a dark place so that the sun's rays cannot deform the container in which your home sugaring is stored.

According to this homemade sugaring recipe, you should get a medium-density amber-colored sugar paste. If you get it soft or dense, then next time “play” with the amount of lemon juice (lemon juice makes the paste plastic and the more lemon juice, the softer the paste will be) or water (water is needed to melt the sugar). But it is worth considering that the total amount of liquid should remain unchanged.

Such sugaring pastes are gentle on your skin, while soothing it during sugaring and preventing inflammation.

Which herbs to choose for making sugaring paste

For the decoction, you can use not only medicinal herbs, but also flowers; they will give your sugar paste a pleasant floral aroma. It is important to choose herbs that are suitable for your skin type (consider possible allergies) or choose herbs that suit all skin types (chamomile, yarrow, sage, mint, rose petals, jasmine, linden flowers, hops, violet, plantain, mother-and- stepmother).

Contraindications for sugar hair removal

Sugaring should not be performed on skin with inflammation, burns and wounds, if there is a skin disease, the presence of warts, fresh scars and scars, in the area of ​​wen and bruises (hematomas). You also cannot treat the inner surface of the nasal passages and ears, the area close to the piercing, the skin where injections were made in less than a week and less than a day later, where sugar hair removal was done with wax or sugar paste.

It is possible to carry out sugar hair removal of a bikini during these “women’s days”, but the pain may increase sharply and there is a possibility of increased menstrual bleeding.

During pregnancy, you should be very careful, pain can provoke uterine hypertonicity. This takes into account both the duration of pregnancy and the sensitivity threshold of your skin; there is a threat of miscarriage.

For varicose veins, hair removal with sugar paste for sugaring at home is quite possible, but if varicose veins are mild and only after consultation with your doctor.

After sugaring, you cannot go to the solarium for 2-3 days.

Vegetation on the human body is a normal phenomenon, but extremely undesirable for both girls and men. The traditional method of getting rid of hair - a razor - is an outdated method, which, among other things, causes irritation and gets rid of hair for only a few days (people with increased hairiness notice hair growth after a razor within 10-12 hours after shaving).

Therefore, sugar paste is popular nowadays, gaining momentum due to its advantages and relatively cheap cost.

The first procedures for removing unwanted hair using sugar paste, which has another name - sugaring, were known to oriental beauties. By making their own sticky sugar-based mixture, they got rid of hair and thereby exposed their skin to minimal risks of irritation, unlike a modern razor.

Now, in the 21st century, the secret of oriental beauties has been adopted by many cosmetologists, who are actively spreading the procedure of hair removal with a sugar mixture to the masses.

It is not necessary to seek the services of cosmetologists for sugar depilation, because the mixture can be prepared at home and can easily remove hair from any part of the body.

So, let's take a closer look at how to make a paste for sugaring and, in fact, carry it out at home.

Modern sugar mixture for depilation is no different from that used by oriental beauties several centuries ago. The only difference from today's pastes is that the girls of the East cooked a mixture based on herbs, and today's mixtures contain water, not herbal decoctions. But at home it is very easy to make up for this deficiency.

The principle of sugaring is the removal of hair from any part of the body using a technology similar to waxing. And after shaving with a trimmer, the skin will be irritated for some time, since the sharp blade touched the delicate skin, and you may even experience redness or slight itching.

But after sugaring, the skin will simply be red for a couple of hours, but without swelling or pain. The main thing after the procedure is to ensure complete rest for the skin, that is, not to be exposed to water or steam.

If we compare depilation with sugar and wax, there are a number of advantages in favor of sugar depilation:

• After waxing, ingrown hairs were noticed, which is not observed after sugaring;
• Less damage to the skin, since the sugar paste is applied to the skin at room temperature, and not hot like wax;
• The remains of sugar paste are easily washed off with water, while the wax must be literally peeled off the skin or use vegetable oil (which, by the way, must also be thoroughly washed off afterwards);
• For waxing, the length of the hair must be more than 5 mm, and for sugaring, on the contrary, no more than 5 mm (otherwise it will be very painful to pull it out and shorten the length a little with scissors before the procedure);
• The sugar mixture is applied in the direction of hair growth and removed against hair growth, but with wax the opposite is true, and thanks to this, the risk of ingrown hairs after sugaring is minimized;
• A sugar ball can be used on several areas of the body, and the wax mixture is applied once (since it hardens quickly and is unsuitable for further actions after removal from the skin);
• Sugar paste is easier to remove not only from the body, but also from the dishes in which it was prepared (if we are talking about a homemade, self-prepared mixture); after waxing, the dishes become unusable and wait for their next time with wax residues (if there is no special wax melter and you have to heat the wax in a water bath).

These are not all the advantages of sugar paste over wax, but they are the most important. Giving a brief description of sugaring, you can use three words: cheap, fast, easy.

Contraindications to sugaring

Despite all the above benefits, there are still some reasons why you should avoid depilation using sugar paste. Such reasons include:

• Varicose veins;
• Wounds, ulcers, inflammation in the area of ​​the body where depilation is intended, as well as moles or pimples;
• Chronic diseases;
• Diabetes;
• Pregnancy.

You should never joke with your health, and no matter how much you would like to resort to hair removal using sugar paste, consult a cosmetologist and choose the best option without harm to your health.

Some tips from those who have already gone through the “trial and error” path, and are happy to share them in order to facilitate the depilation procedure.

Many, having tried it for the first time and not achieving the desired result due to improperly prepared sugaring paste or improperly preparing the skin, do not want to resort to sugaring anymore and return to the razor again.

Please read the list of useful notes carefully:

• If, when preparing the paste, you brought it to a too dark state, then when it is intended for its intended purpose, it will be too hard and difficult to knead. In this case, add one tablespoon of water and keep it on low heat for a while.
• After you have removed hair from an area of ​​skin, place your palm on the area for a few seconds to reduce pain.
• After the procedure, do not disturb your skin for 24 hours (visits to swimming pools, baths, saunas are prohibited, and you should also avoid baths during this time).
• A day after the procedure, take a bath and carefully go over all areas with a washcloth and scrub to avoid ingrown hairs.
• If the room is very warm, the paste may stick to the skin too much, leaving characteristic marks. To prevent this, place the container with the mixture in the refrigerator for 10-20 minutes.
• If sugaring was not done well the first time and there are hairs left here and there, remove them with tweezers. Don't be discouraged and keep training! Over time, it will turn out better, faster and of higher quality.

The next video contains another recipe for making sugaring paste at home.

Several hundred years ago, sugaring was first used in Iran (the current name of Ancient Persia). Herbal infusions and various oils were added to the sugar syrup. Everything in the complex perfectly soothed and protected delicate and irritated skin.

After all, in ancient times, oriental beauties completely got rid of their hair, i.e. all over the body. Hair, with the exception of the head, eyelashes and eyebrows, was prohibited among concubines and wives of officials. This was considered a great sin and disgrace for a noble girl of marriageable age. According to Eastern beliefs, if a girl had hairs all over her body, she was cursed for 7 years.

When we try a variety of cosmetics and chemicals on ourselves, we don’t think about how much this can affect the health of our skin.

But caring for the beauty of the body also means using natural products whenever possible. We offer several recipe options for sugaring mixtures at home. This is an old proven method, try it too!

How to quickly cook a sugaring mixture in the microwave?

The recipe is simple, there are few ingredients, and they are the most common ones that can be found in any kitchen.

Prepare a container in which you will cook; you will also need an ordinary tablespoon and a teaspoon. To avoid getting burned when you need to check the caramel, drop it into water; if it hardens and does not spread, the caramel is ready.

So, for the mixture we take:

• water – 2 tablespoons;
• sugar – 6 tablespoons;
• citric acid - half a teaspoon.

All ingredients must be mixed in a prepared container. If you add more citric acid, the paste will not be able to harden to the desired consistency. Heat the mixture in the microwave for one minute; the liquid should turn from white to pale yellow. Stir and microwave for another 15 seconds, your liquid will gradually change and acquire a more saturated cognac color.

Wait until it cools down, but not completely. Scoop up a small amount of the cooled mass with your hand and knead it with your fingers. Add the rest of the hot mixture little by little, this will make it easier on your fingers and the mixture will be homogeneous.

Another simple way is to prepare the mixture in a steam bath or gas, in a saucepan with a thick bottom.

This option is called thick sugaring, and it differs in that it is cooked in larger quantities. Excellent at home, economical and profitable!

The recipe is the same as described above, only the amount of ingredients has been increased several times.

A little advice: after the sugaring is ready, but still remains hot, cover with a lid - this will provide it with greater elasticity and it will not harden quickly. How many and what ingredients will you need?

Taken for the mixture:

• 10 tablespoons of sugar;
• 7 – 8 tablespoons of water;
• 0.5 large lemon.

Combine everything, mix and put on medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and stir continuously until the color turns honey-colored. Pay attention to the consistency, it should be thick, like pancake batter. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Here are a few more cooking secrets:

• when the mass is ready, and so that it does not harden for a long time, you will need a spoon of water, pour it over the mass, thereby preventing a crust from forming;
• add a few drops of aloe juice - this will have a beneficial effect on the skin;
• to fortify the mixture, add a few drops of vitamin A, E - they have an oily consistency, have a beneficial effect on the skin and promote hydration;
• A glucose ampoule will soften the skin and make the procedure less painful.

How to apply the sugaring mixture?

Knead the finished mass until soft and elastic; it is better to apply it to steamed skin, against hair growth.

Remove according to hair growth, thereby you do not injure the hair follicle and prolong the effect of hair removal.

It is best to wash off the remnants of the sweet mass with a decoction of chamomile, or a decoction of string, which act as antiseptics for open pores and have soothing and antibacterial properties.

Also, after the procedure, it is advisable to thoroughly cleanse the skin with a scrub of ground coffee and rice flour. This method can be used to treat the entire body, even the face.

Sugaring provides excellent hair removal, the most gentle cleansing, after such careful treatment of your body - it will be incredibly grateful to you and will thank you with its silkiness and velvety.

If you have varicose veins, i.e. large “nodes”, it is better to abandon this method. If you have so-called mesh on your legs, it is better to consult a doctor.

If there are wounds, scratches, or cuts on the area of ​​skin that you are about to treat, then wait until everything heals.
