I found this recipe for making sugar, which is like wax for body hair. It works great so I thought I'd share it. Sugar is different because it doesn't hurt like wax does. It only sticks to the hair so it's not as painful.

Mariah's Body Sugaring Recipe


2 C Sugar
1/4 C lemon juice
1/4 C Water


Mix all together, boil until it reaches 250 degrees F. or at softball stage (as in when making jelly or candy.) Pour into a jar. Nuke (lol... my term for using the microwave)for about 10 to 20 seconds to soften. (test and make sure not too hot before using this also) Powder area to be waxed... spread w/direction of hair growth, I recomend using small scraps of cotton fabric to cover the area you are to wax... then when cooled slightly pull fabric off against growth. The first time I tried this mixture I wasn't patient enough with the boiling and I should have used the candy thermomiter, but I didn't so it didn't turn out quite right. The next time I did it... it turned out just fine! :) Good luck!
