Sugaring: Recipes to Try Yourself The Woman makeup products
While many natural waxing and sugaring solutions are inexpensive to buy, some persons get
satisfaction from making their own sugaring pastes at home.
Note however that while the recipe is quite simple, getting the correct proportions of the
ingredients, the precise temperature and the cooking time exactly right can take much practice.
It is an art to produce a sugaring paste with the right consistency which provides best results.
Recipe #1
Ingredients:
2 cups of sugar
1/4 cup of lemon juice
1/4 cup of water
Directions:
Put the sugar in a large saucepan, add the lemon juice and water.
Stir constantly over a low flame until the sugar is a dark brown.
Pour into thick plastic storage containers and allow to cool. (These can be put in a
microwave later for reheating if necessary.)
Allow the sugar paste to cool until it is warm and spreadable.
Be sure to test the warmth on a small portion of skin first. It is easy to burn oneself if the
paste is too hot!
If it cools too much and looses the correct consistency, put in a microwave oven for 10 to
20 seconds. Again, test the temperature before applying over a large area.

8 parts sugar syrup

1 part mussed oil

Threading: Fact Sheet
What is threading?
Threading is an ancient method of hair removal still used in many countries in the Middle East as
well as India and Pakistan.
It is used to give clean lines and good shape to the eyebrows and also remove hair from the
upper lip and other facial areas.
How does it work?
100% cotton thread is twisted and rolled along the surface of the skin entwining the hair in the
thread which is then lifted out from the follicle.
How long before hair returns?
About the same as with tweezing, anywhere between 3 and 8 weeks.
How does it affect the skin?
The effects are less than with other hair removal methods such as tweezing, waxing or sugaring.
The skin may get a little red and sore but only a slight pinch is felt as a relatively large area is
covered each time.
Unlike waxing or the use of depilatories, irritation and skin rashes are avoided as the top layer of
dead skin is not stripped off in the process.
