It was just gooey and wouldn’t hold it’s shape, but after a while I figured out that it was still too hot, so I worked with it in front of my air conditioner and put an ice pack underneath the plate to firm it up(You have to be careful that it doesn’t get TOO cold or it will not come off the plate!). Though, I thought I did it wrong at first because it wouldn’t stay in the middle of the plate when I scraped it with the spoon. Thank You very much for this video! I got it on my first try! I don’t have marble counter tops, so I just worked the mixture on a large glass plate that had been in the refrigerator for about five minutes.

I have to be honest about my experience with this and save others some trouble. I don’t have marble counters, so what would I use instead? I’m thinking wax paper, but I don’t want to try it just yet I don’t want a big piece of it in the wax lol. I’d be afraid to rip off too much, & end up with Vulcan brows rofl (at least until I get the hang of manipulating the wax!) Now I completely understand when my textbook says “a great alternative for those with sensitive skin” LOL!Īs far as the eyebrow goes….I’d probly stick to tweezing or threading. I have very sensitive skin, so when I get waxed with honey/hot wax, I ALWAYS get those irritated bumps, my skin looks like i got whipped w/an old school paddle, & i itch like crazy! But with the sugar wax, I get a little red & sticky, but once I wipe down with a cool, wet paper towel, I’m just a little red.

Watch as the mixture turns a darker brown, turn off the heat, and let the forming wax cool for a couple of minutes.Īnd voilà (as this is also called Persian waxing), there you have your wax. Within roughly eight minutes, it will thicken considerably and take on a syrupy consistency. Stir the mixture with a spoon, making sure the sugar crystals dissolve. (Just like freshly baked cookies you know it’s good when it’s golden-brown.) Salt, optional (1 tsp) Sugaring Wax MethodĬombine these above natural ingredients in a saucepan and simmer on low heat. Allow the mixture to thicken and turn golden-brown.
