While many natural waxing and sugaring solutions are inexpensive to buy, some persons get satisfaction from making their own sugaring pastes at home.

Note however that while the recipe is quite simple, getting the correct proportions of the ingredients, the precise temperature and the cooking time exactly right can take much practice.

It is an art to produce a sugaring paste with the right consistency which provides best results.

Here is a simple recipe:

Ingredients:

2 cups of sugar
1/4 cup of lemon juice
1/4 cup of water

Directions:

• Put the sugar in a large saucepan.

• Add the lemon juice and water.

• Stir constantly over a low flame until the sugar is a dark brown.

• Pour into thick plastic storage containers and allow to cool. (These can be put in a microwave later for reheating if necessary.)

• Allow the sugar paste to cool until it is warm and spreadable.

Notes:

Be sure to test the warmth on a small portion of skin first. It is easy to burn oneself if the paste is too hot!

If it cools too much and looses the correct consistency, put in a microwave oven for 10 to 20 seconds. Again, test the temperature before applying over a large area.
