DIY Lemon Sugar Wax

If you ever wondered how to go natural with your hair removal technique. I have a simple DIY recipe for you that really works!
Put all your ingredients in a pot in medium to high heat and let it caramelize slightly. If it gets too dark it will not work. Remove it from the heat as soon as you start to see a yellow hue, for best results.
Submerge your glass container in hot water prior to use before you transfer the hot caramel into the glass container. Caution this can cause 2nd degree burns if not careful. Test temp on the inside of your arm prior to use. This is a reusable wax, just reheat in a double boiler before use. You can store it in a dry place and continue to use until you run out. This homemade wax has a long shelf life.


For my cotton strips I personally repurpose an old pillow case and cut it into multiple strips and they work great!


Use the wood popsicles to apply the wax to the desire areas and say bye, bye to those unwanted hairs.


Note: Brown sugar not recommended as a substitute. Tried it and it didn't work for me. Too thick and it was more of a paste. This is an alternative method that we can explore on a different post.


Hope you enjoy this easy DIY wax. It's amazing and good for sensitive skin. I didn't experience any breakouts or irritation marks... Hope you like it.
