Add honey and lemon juice to the melted sugar, and mix with a wooden spoon. Note: the sugar will foam and very hot.

• Keep stirring until the mixture is melted and we should have a slightly thick mixture. If it is too thick, add 1 teaspoon of water and stir until perfect consistency.

Let the wax cool down before you use it. If you want to use it right away, let the wax cool down in the refrigerator. advertisement

Part 2 of 2: Using Hair Removal Wax

1. 

   
   
   Check the length of the hair you want to remove. The ideal length is about 3-6 mm.
   • If the hair length is too short, the wax mixture will not be able to remove all the hair from the roots.
   • If the hairs are too long, you may feel uncomfortable removing them with wax, but not too uncomfortable.

2. 

   Prepare a few pieces of fabric. If you don't have fabric on hand, you can cut or tear from a linen or cotton shirt that you no longer wear.
   • To reinforce the frayed edges of the fabric, sew around the cloth with a sewing machine.

3. 

   
   
   Sprinkle powder on the areas of the skin that you want to wax before applying wax. Powder or cornstarch will absorb moisture and oil from the skin, helping the wax stick to the hair (but not the skin), which will make you less painful when removing hair.

4. 

   Wax. Use a medical tongue stick or a cooking utensil to apply wax to the skin you want. Remember to apply the wax in the direction the hair grows.

5. 

   Press the fabric down on the waxed area. Take a cloth, place it above the wax site, and brush in the direction of the hair growth.

6. 

   
   
   Pull out the cloth. Keep your skin tight and pull from the end of the fabric in the opposite direction of the hair growth. Pull quickly and decisively. Remember not to pull at a 90 ° angle, but to a smaller angle.

7. 

   Store any remaining wax in the refrigerator. Remember that the wax should be kept cold only for a few weeks, or if it is for a few months then you must keep it in the freezer. advertisement

Advice

• If you are removing hair in a noticeable place on your body like your face, you can apply a cold gel solution after peeling the wax to minimize redness. If you may experience redness, consider using facial wax on a day when you are not going out.
• The wax mixture can leave residue on your skin, so rinse your skin with warm water. If that doesn't work, boil a water with 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Let the water cool and rinse the skin again.
• If the mixture hardens before you use it, use a water bath to melt the mixture.
• About 2 days before waxing, you should exfoliate with an exfoliating lotion or loofah.

Warning

• Avoid heating the wax in the microwave. Microwaves can heat the wax unevenly and create hot debris. Instead, to warm the wax, place it in a bowl of hot water.
• Be sure to check the wax temperature carefully before using it on the skin.
