Sugar and lemon to remove hair

This method of hair removal has been used since ancient times in Ancient Egypt and other eastern countries. You only need sugar and lemon. The method is similar to wax, but it is less painful, cheaper and more natural.

Currently, in some countries they sell the sugar paste already prepared, although it is so simple to make that it is convenient for us to learn how to prepare it ourselves.

We will need

• 2 cups of sugar (500 g).
• The juice of 10 yellow lemons.
• A little water if the lemon juice is not enough.

How do we prepare it?

• We will put the lemon juice and the two cups of sugar in a saucepan or medium pot.
• The juice must completely cover the sugar, if not we must add a little water until it covers it.
• We will heat this mixture over medium-high heat, stirring with a wooden spoon until the sugar has completely dissolved.
• If we have a kitchen thermometer we can check that the mixture reaches 115 degrees Celsius.
• When it starts to boil, we will lower the heat a lot and wait for a thicker and stickier but more manageable paste to be made, with a soft golden color, as if it were honey.
• If it has a dark color, it may have burned us and we will have to do it again.

• In no case will we let it boil over high heat for more than a minute.
• We will remove from the heat and let it cool.

How to use

• This sugar wax is applied in the same way as the conventional one.
• We will distribute the wax well so that there is a thin layer and without waiting, we will pull it in the opposite direction, that is, in the direction of hair growth.
• So that the sugar wax does not adhere too much to the skin, we can put a little talcum powder in the area to be waxed, which should be clean and dry.

At the end, we will apply a little moisturizer or aloe vera gel to calm the skin. If there are remains of the wax, we will wash with warm water.

Silk or cotton thread to remove hair

A surprising and natural method to remove hair, possibly the most economical. It consists of simply using a thread. Like sugar wax is an ancient technique, it is still used frequently.

At first this method requires a little dexterity. The first time we could go to a professional to do it for us and thus see it first hand. When we learn to do it, we will do it very quickly and without pain.

How to use

• For this method we will use silk or cotton thread.
• This is used as a loop that traps the follicles from their roots. In a way that is not aggressive to the skin.
• To do this, a long piece of thread is cut and a circle is formed by tying its ends.
• Below are the directions that appear in this video.

This type of hair removal has a great advantage, it can take up to 6 weeks before the hair comes out again. It progressively weakens, unlike with conventional waxing. And it can also be used on the face.

Turmeric face masks

After waxing, we can prepare a turmeric facial or body mask. This spice has great properties for skin health. It helps us to progressively weaken the hair, so it will be the perfect complement to our treatment.

What is to be done?
