How do you make wax remove unwanted hair?

Waxing at home can be a messy and painful process, but it doesn’t have to be! With a little time and effort, you can make your own wax gentle on the skin and easy to use. Here’s how:

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup of water
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • double boiler or saucepan
  • wooden spatula or spoon
  • strips of cloth or paper towels

Optional ingredients:

  • essential oils for scent (e.g., lavender, chamomile)
  • food coloring
  • molds or tins for shaping the wax

Directions: Combine sugar, water, lemon juice, and baking soda in a double boiler or saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium heat, constantly stirring with a wooden spatula or spoon. Continue cooking until the mixture becomes a dark amber color and starts to thicken. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. If using essential oils, add them now and stir to combine. You can also add food coloring at this point if desired. Pour the wax into molds or tins and allow it to cool completely. Once cooled, the wax will be hard and ready to use. Warm a small amount of wax in the microwave or over a stovetop until it is soft enough to spread. Apply to the skin in the direction of hair growth and cover with a strip of cloth or paper towel. Press down and hold for a few seconds, then quickly pull the strip off in the opposite direction of hair growth. Repeat as necessary until all unwanted hair is removed.
