Salamwalikoum,
Hope all is honkydory out there!. Today I thought I would share a trick I use for hair removal. It's super inexpensive and mild enough for even the most sensitive skin types.
Basically it's waxing but instead of all these chemical concoctions found in stores this one is found in your kitchen pantry.
Sugaring has been around for a pretty long time. This technique can be used for just about any area.
So here goes:
2 c sugar
1/4 c lemon juice
1/4 c water or honey
Heat all ingredients in a sauce pan until smooth and bubbly.
Let the mixture cool until it is comfortable to touch.
This is very important if you don't want to burn yourself.
Now it is ready to use!
To use, simply spread the mix over the hair then cover with a strip of cotton.
Rub the cotton in the opposite direction of the hair growth.
In one smooth movement quickly rip off of the cotton.
Don't forget that if you are using this on your face, it's a good idea to lay a cloth soaked in cold water on the areas where the hair was removed to avoid puffiness and redness.
I like this method because I'm forgetful and never think to buy wax or any other products until 5 minutes before I need them.
With this recipe I know I always have the necessary ingredients right on hand.
Also the cotton strips can be reused several times by soaking in warm water and washing when you're done using them. A good washing makes them almost as good as new.
So there you have it hair removal for pennies and environmentally friendly too!
Hope this is useful.
Till next time!
