Let it cool till it is warm and you can spread a THIN strip onto your skin. Make sure
your skin is clean, so the oils in your skin and hair don't keep the sugar from
sticking. Dust the area with cornstarch first then using a small knife with no blade,
a plastic putty knife, or a tongue depressor apply where needed.
Put on a strip of non stretch cotton like an old shirt or old sheet. Rub the strip in
the direction of hair growth about three times then pull skin taut and yank it in the
opposite direction of hair growth.
This is a skill, and it does take practice, but it gets much easier the more you do it.
What are the differences between sugaring and waxing?
Wax adheres to the hair and the skin. Sugar paste adheres only to the hair so there
is less discomfort.
Wax is applied either hot or cold (in pre-coated strips) to the skin. Sugar paste isused at room temperature or slightly warmed.
Wax often contains chemicals which can be a little hard on the skin if used
repeatedly. Sugar paste is completely natural and gentle on the skin.
Wax can be messy to clean up due to the petroleum base. Sugar paste is easily
cleaned up with water.
