The problem of excess body hair has worried humanity since ancient times, especially its elite half. For a long time, the times of the queen Cleopatra, and the standard of beauty - NefertitiThe women of the planet wanted to get rid of the excess hair that excessively covers their waist. Court beauticians invented a variety of recipes for removing excess hair.
One of the oldest hair removal methods has survived to this day. And this is epilation using the most commonplace granulated sugar, boiled by an individual method. It is a pity that it is no longer possible to recognize the author of the method in order to express gratitude from the female half of the globe. For the principle of hair removal, laid down in the ancient recipe, has come down to us, having the excellent name shugaring, and has captured the wide popularity of its use.
The procedure is simple to the point of banality, so that any, even the most illiterate woman will be able to perform shugaring for herself at home. We'll talk about how to do it right.
The components for the procedure are lemon juice, water, sugar... From these ingredients, you need to cook a paste. The secret of cooking lies in boiling sugar, as they say in cooking, into caramel. 10 tbsp. tablespoons of sand put in a container, squeeze out the juice half a lemon, pour in st. a spoonful of water. Stir well, putting on fire, cook all the time, stirring the composition.

About after 10 minutes the mixture should begin to change color. At the same time, you need to scoop up a little syrup and dip it into a bowl of cold water. When the syrup begins to cool, then any shape (cube, ball, oval) can be rolled out of it, then the syrup is ready, and the color of the resulting mass will be light brown.
The finished paste should be sticky and easy to knead.
If you still do not know all the intricacies of how to properly do sugar hair removal, -you need to be extremely careful... If you digest the syrup, then the mass will turn out to be very solid, it will lose the stickiness necessary for shugaring. If you do not cook the syrup, then the mass will be liquid, will not be able to stick to the skin, but will drain from it.
Properly prepared pasta at home is poured into a container and allowed to cool. This amount is enough for several procedures. If you do not succeed at all to cook the desired consistency of the mass, it is better to purchase it in the salon, ready-made, although it will cost you money.
Resourceful women cook syrup in the microwave from 2 tbsp. spoons of water, 6 tbsp. tablespoons of sand, 1 teaspoon of lemon powder (all without a slide).
The mixture is placed in the oven for 1 minute, checked for caramel color.If its intensity is not, add another 10 seconds in time.
