The Recipe  |
|
- Body Sugaring

Here's a recipe a friend gave
me for that new aussie nads product you can make this at home
for a lot cheaper.
Nads costs 30 bucks which is
a lot of money for simple ingredients. I looked at nads.com to
look at their ingredients. They were all natural so those ingredients
are very cheap. |

This process is called sugaring.
Due to a bit of research I found out this isn't exactly a new
found invention. This has been actually used in India for many
years as well as stringing which is another story. This is a
bit painful no matter how much the commercial makes it look so
watch out if you hate pain. But after awhile, it will make your
hair growth less thick and less frequent. If you hold your skin
taut and rip it out quick, it is less painful. |

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 isn’t necessary, but it’s 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 it’s 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
it’s a lot less painful. I’m sure you’re 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 that’s plastic since that’s
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. |
