You will want to allow the solution to cool before you use it. Once it is at the right temperature, you can take it off the stove and pour it into the container of your choice, I used one of our empty Lip Solutions jars.
This is the hardest part, I am so impatient! I think that I could have let my sugar cook for a little bit longer but I am still happy with how it turned out. You’ll want to heat it until its smooth and starts to change in color slightly, right around 260° F.
Sugar burns really fast so keep it on medium heat and just be patient. To make this sugar wax, combine the lemon juice, sugar, and water in a pot. In the pictures, I doubled the recipe because so many of the ladies in the warehouse wanted to take some home and try it out for themselves. Turns out the lemon juice acts as an acid and when combined with the sugar and heated it keeps the sugar from turning back into a crystal. You might be wondering, why lemon juice? I was wondering the same thing. Long story short, it really hurt, but I lived. Please please please be careful when this stuff is hot! I made the really stupid mistake of pulling it right out of the microwave and slathering it all over my arm without even checking to see how hot it was. So it might not be as painless for you depending on the type of hairs you have. It actually didn’t hurt at all, but you must take into consideration, it was just my arm, and I have very fine little blonde hairs.
#Soft sugar wax recipe skin
I was so scared that it was going to hurt really bad, or my skin would have some kind of bad reaction. I chose to wax just one arm so I could compare side by side and see how good it really worked. To test this sugar wax out, I made a batch and took it home. Mine was too hard in its cooled state and I had to heat it to use it. It depends on how hard or soft your wax is. Second is the hard wax method, where you roll the cooled wax into a ball, stretch it onto the area, and then rip it off using only the wax. There are two different methods first is a soft wax method, that allows you to apply warm wax to the area and then use strips to remove the hair, which is what I did. Ahh, so frustrating! Using a sugar wax pulls the hair out from the root, so your skin stays hairless for longer. Sometimes you shave, and by the next day, the hair is already growing back. Cuts, razor burn, painful stubble, and spending way too much money on razors. If you do not have a thermometer you can test your sugar stages by placing a small amount of the sugar mixture in a bowl of ice water.We all know the absolute pains of shaving. The use of a thermometer can really help you reach the correct sugar stage so that you do not under- or overcook your sugar wax. When it comes to making sugar wax what you are essentially doing is making candy, I cooked my mixture until it was taffy-like. Remember to always use proper sugaring techniques such as cleaning and drying the area where you want to remove hair as well as pulling in the natural direction of your follicle’s growth pattern. Pour into a lightly greased microwaveable bowl and cool to room temperature.
#Soft sugar wax recipe crack
Heat to a boil until the mixture reaches the soft crack stage or 270 to 289 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium sized saucepan place the water, sugar and lemon juice. Thus, sugaring is a more gentle hair removal method and when done correctly minimizes the amount of irritation to the area and pain experienced during the process. Unlike waxing, sugaring only pulls out the hairs and does not disturb the surface of the skin. Sugar wax is soft enough to penetrate into the pores where it adheres to the individual roots of hair and pulls them out.
