However, it's super easy to wash and reuse the strips if you go this route. I tried one of these ill-fated recipes in my experiments and used old muslin from a sewing project in lieu of waxing strips. It's also wildly frustrating and rather messy to work with. The authors of these recipes will tell you to use cloth strips to remove it like traditional wax, which works, but isn't sugaring in its best form.
Too many recipes for sugaring "wax" have the dry-to-wet ratio of the ingredients all wrong so that the sugar is always too sticky and won't hold into a ball. It reminds me of non-toxic, for-adult-purposes Silly Putty. Proper sugaring is done with a pliable mass of sugaring paste that is applied and removed with fingers, and can be reused for multiple sections before losing its stickiness. You can eat this, but I wouldn't recommend it because it's way too sticky to be comfortable on teeth. It's probably not good for fish diabetes, but other than that, seems ok. Sugaring, on the other hand, is pretty much a no-waste operation, and dissolves in hot water to literal sugar water. Razors create needless trash, and waxing wax has the double whammy against it of being made with questionable ingredients, and needing to be thrown away. It's zero-waste, non-toxic, and eco-friendly Yeah, it still hurts a little, but way less (personal opinion) than waxing. This sticky paste pulls hair out at the roots without ripping off the top layer of skin. As someone who works with oil-based products all the time, I have to add that this stuff cleans up like a dream. Plus, sugar is a natural preservative, making this last a long time so you don't have to make a new batch every time. It's super simple, cheap, and easyĮssentially, sugaring "wax" is just caramel, and is made of only sugar, water, and lemon juice (you'll see recipes for salt or other extras – you don't need those) – affordable pantry staples that often don't require an extra trip to the store. Purportedly dating to the Middle Kingdom of Ancient Egypt around 1900 BC, sugaring went on to conquer Ancient Greece, Ancient Persia, and has been a popular method in the Middle East for centuries. Sugaring has been user tested for a casual few millennia.
So what's the big deal with sugaring? There are so many ways to remove body hair, why get pumped about just one? 1. The result, however, I am proud of: A recipe that actually works! I exclaimed aloud (all by myself), "I did it!" when I finally got it right. When it comes to DIY projects, ripping one's body hair out at the roots is usually something I'd leave to professionals, but the ancient technique of sugaring is just so darn accessible.* Luckily for you, I already combed through and tried all the bad advice on the Internet (only a modest exaggeration) to save you the literal pains associated with less-than-stellar methods.
