Sugar Hair Removal: Easy, Cheap, and Effective

posted in hair removal |


Thousands of years ago, Persians discovered a new way of removing unwanted hairs from their body and it is now commonly known as the sugar hair removal.  The method was also known as ‘Persian waxing’ and the process involved is also similar to waxing hair removal only it uses natural ingredients and not chemically produced. It is also said that sugar hair removal is a method a lot less painful when you compare it to the traditional waxing since it only sticks to the unwanted hairs and not to the skin itself.
Persians called the sticky syrup moum and it is made of sugar, lemon, and a little amount of water to make the mixture. Getting the right consistency may take a lot of practice since what you want to have is the texture of a wax hair removal.

Cost Effective and Just Plain Effective

The sugar hair removal may be the cheapest way of removing unwanted hairs since it only involves the cost of the sugar itself. Sure enough, you could immediately find that you have some lemon or lemon juice stock in your pantry or refrigerators to not spend on it. Spatula can be a great help for the application of the mixture on to your skin. Keep in mind that you will need some scraps of cotton fabrics to press on the mixture after it has been applied to the skin that is concerned.

They say that sugar hair removal is better as compared to traditional waxing since it is less painful and also you can be sure that it only uses natural ingredients. But, probably, the only downside of sugar hair removal is that it can be a lot messy and sticky since sugar is the primary ingredient. In effect, since sugar is soluble in water, cleaning up is not that hard when all you have to do is clean the materials and the area with a damp cloth of warm water.

Make Your Own

It is believed to be easy to make your own sugar hair removal. The common recipe is two cups of white sugar, one fourth cup of water, and one fourth cup of lemon juice.  Mix everything together and place it on a stove and make sure it is two hundred forty degrees Fahrenheit. Wait for it to boil and guard if the consistency has reached the ’soft ball stage’ (like melting a candy).  Pour everything into an empty jar and microwave it for about ten to twenty seconds.

Now for the application, do not forget to powder or dust the skin area where you want it applied. After application, put on a scrap of cloth on top of the mixture, wait for it to cool off and pull it off against the hair growth direction.  Hair removal has never been more easy and effective since the discovery of the ‘Persian wax’ or sugar hair removal.
