Supplies:

  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup water
Adding lemon to the sugar.
 

Steps:

  1. In a medium sized pot, add all of the ingredients and mix them with a wooden spoon.
  2. Place the pot over high heat. Wait until the mixture becomes bubbly and frothy.
  3. Stirring the boiling sugar wax mixture.
     
  4. Turn the heat to medium, and stir constantly. It's extremely important that you stir, stir, stir. Otherwise, the mixture will harden and you'll have to start over again.
  5. Cook on medium heat while stirring constantly until mixture reaches a medium golden brown color. This should take about 5-10 minutes.
  6. The cooking sugar wax mixture.

  7. Remove the pot from heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, take a spoonful of the sugar wax mixture and place it in the fridge. Allow it to cool, and if the consistency still isn't right, return the mixture to heat.
  8. The consistency should be a thick, manageable consistency. You should be able to pick it up just like wax
  9. The cooled sugar wax mixture.
     
  10. Allow to cool at least 30 minutes.
  11. Once cooled, transfer to a bowl.
  12. Using a wooden spoon, spatula, or even your hands, grab a small amount of the sugar wax from the bowl. Roll between your hands and form a ball.
  13. Apply the wax by pressing the ball down to flatten onto the area you want waxed. The sugar wax should be on your skin about 1/4 thick.

  15. You can also use waxing strips, by pressing the wax onto the skin, and then placing the wax strips on top of the wax. You can also use a popsicle stick to apply the wax, while it is still warm. Then, rub the strips back and forth to create some friction.
  16. Take a deep breath, pick up the end of the wax, and pull fast in one motion AGAINST the direction which your hair grows. You can reuse the same wax piece 3-4 times until having to make a new ball.
  17. The wax can be used on any part of the body, including bikini, underarms, upper lip, and legs.
  18. Sugar waxing should last a few weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows.
  19. Store any leftover homemade sugar wax in a glass jar.
  20. If there is any leftover wax on your skin, use a soft cloth and warm water to remove the excess.
