Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- Half a lemon for the juice
- 1/4 cup honey
- A little bit of Molasses if
you have any like a drizzle
- Cornstarch (to powder with
for tautness making it more effective)
- Something to spread the mixture
with like a tongue depressor, popsicle stick, cheese spreader
or spatula.
- Cotton fabric (any old thing
you can find or buy some strips at a store)
Mix lemon, sugar, and honey
in a bowl. Microwave on high for about 2-3 minutes, until it
bubbles into a smooth consistency. I find this a lot simpler
then turning on the stove, but it would be safer if you watched
over the heat on the stove. If you use the stove use LOW heat.
Now move away from the mixture and go do something while it cools
a little down so you can touch it safely. A little bit warmer
though is better though to use. Microwave it for 20 seconds if
you find the need to. The NADS commercial said re heating isnt
necessary, but its no big deal doing so and I find it is
necessary as all sugaring products do need just a little heating.
Make sure your legs or where
ever you wish to place it is clean and dry. Then dust area with
cornstarch so its more effective as it draws out oil. Spread
a thin layer on your leg. Cover with a strip of fabric, and rubbing
the strip the opposite way of hair growth, about 3 times.
Grab the fabric end and pull
it off very quickly against the direction of the hair growth
or the other way if you wish. It will hurt, but after awhile
its a lot less painful. Im sure youre strong
enough to withstand pain. Reheat the mix if it gets too hard
to spread. This stores for a long time. I just use a vitamin
E face cream container thats plastic since thats
fairly big which costs only a buck at the dollar store. Just
make sure it's clean and oil free. You could also use a glass
jar as well. |
