How to Make Homemade Wax

Recipe to make homemade wax. It is safe to used for waxing for arms, legs, underarms, upper lips and eyebrows.









Instructions



Things You'll Need:
2 cups brown sugar
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup lemon juice
and a clean pan



Step 1
Mix sugar, warm water and fresh lemon juice (better if sieved) all together in a saucepan, and heat it over a low flame. Keep stirring the mixture to avoid it sticking on the pan or burning. I prefer using wooden spatula. Stir it until all the sugar has melted and caramelized, and you have a thick brown liquid ready.



Step 2
Let it cool slightly before using it. It can be stored for a long time in a heat proof container for later use.



Step 3
Make sure you store the prepared wax in refrigerator to be used later. Before you use it warm up the wax container in a microwave or you can also warm it up by placing the container in a deep pan filled with boiling water on stove on low heat.


Tips & Warnings

If you are not going to be using the whole container of wax then it's always a good idea to heat only the amount you need in a separate container.

Always warm up the wax on low heat. By doing so you'll prevent wax from burning.

If you don't have brown sugar handy then you can also use white sugar.

Lemon can be substituted with vinegar.

It can get messy and the wax can get stuck to anything. Use newspaper or an old bed sheet on the surface where you are waxing.

You can wipe clean the wax drippings with a damp cloth.

Waxed area can be washed with cold water to soothe the redness.

Use aloe-vera after waxing
