Q&A for How to Make Body Sugaring Paste

All you'll need is sugar, lemon juice, and water. That's why people often prefer this to traditional wax—sugar wax has no chemicals or resin, and it doesn't need to be heated too much.

Yes.

Yes, you can, but honey works better.

Of course. Anyone can use body paste.

Yes. Lime and lemon are interchangeable.

The quality of both recipes is about the same.

As long as you do it correctly, it should work every time. Regular waxing strips can be easier, but it's mostly just about your preference.

Yes, but your underarms are sensitive areas, so this might be painful.

Oranges also contain citrus.

You can put cloth on the sugaring that you have already placed on your skin and let the cloth stick to it.

Golden syrup or even coconut nectar could be used, too, but honey is the best to use.

No, you don't need a wax strip. If you watch a video on sugaring you see they use a little ball and put it on against the hair growth and pull it of with the hair growth.

You can cut up pieces of old, clean t-shirts! In my experience, it works just a well and is a great way to save money and reuse supplies.

I wouldn't recommend it, no. That skin is especially sensitive and could be easily burned or damaged.

Yes, however I would recommend talking to a professional waxer first to get advice. Also, please try to bear in mind the potential psychological effects. If you are a parent, suggest your child use bladeless removal cream or safety razors to start with.

Any type of white granulated sugar should work. The color matters so that you can see when it is ready to be taken off the heat.

Yes. Always apply against the hair grown and pull off with hair growth. For example, on your leg you would apply up towards your knee and pull off towards your foot. The same premise applies to a Brazilian.

You may be overcooking the sugar paste. Next time, try to raise the temperature slowly and see if that makes a difference.
