In addition to saving you hair removal costs, these options will help prevent irritation caused by traditional methods. In addition to waxing, razors and electric epilators, there are these natural and less painful alternatives. You will also find methods to make the hair thinner each time.
sugar and lemon juice
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of sugar
- One lemon’s juice
- A little water (in case the lemon juice is not enough)
Preparation:1. Place lemon juice and sugar in a medium saucepan. The juice should completely cover the sugar. If it doesn’t, add a little water.2. Bring the pot to medium-high heat, and stir with a spoon until the sugar dissolves.3. Lower the heat as soon as it starts to boil. Wait until you get a thick and sticky, but malleable paste. Its color will be golden, similar to honey. If it is darker, you will have to prepare it again, since it will have burned. The secret for it to turn out well is not to let it boil over high heat for more than a minute.4. Remove the pasta from the heat and allow it to cool.
App:Spread the paste on clean, dry skin to form a thin layer. Immediately pull against the direction of hair growth. To prevent too much sticking, you can apply a little powder before waxing. If you have remains, you simply have to remove them with warm water.
Sugar, honey and lemon
This is a very similar variation to the previous method. It also applies just like wax.Ingredients:
- 1 spoon of sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- A few drops of lemon juice
Preparation:1. Mix the ingredients to form a compact paste.2. Microwave the pasta and let it heat up for two minutes. You can also do this in a water bath. It will be ready when the sugar has dissolved and its color is golden.3. Allow the mixture to thicken and cool for approximately 15 minutes.App:Spread the mixture on completely clean and dry skin. Remove it quickly, in the opposite direction of hair growth. If there are remains, remove them with olive oil.
