ingredients

• 2 cups sugar
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons water

Method of preparation

The way you prepare this depilatory wax is similar to how to prepare any syrup used for a dessert; the only difference is that it doesn’t have to be as thick. Add the three ingredients in a bowl and bring to a boil over medium heat over high heat, stirring constantly. Once it has started to boil, turn the heat to low and let the mixture stand until it has a paste-like texture.

To find out if the wax is ready, take a good look at its color; it should be slightly golden and not very dark. If you boil it too much, the sugar may burn. Once you have made sure it is ready, let the pasta cool. Be careful, however, not to put it in an extremely cool place, because it can harden. When the wax acquires a sticky consistency, it is ready to be used.

Apply the wax in the opposite direction of hair growth, press and then pull it out to remove the hair and leave it with a fine and beautiful skin.
