Today, they are increasingly talking about such an effective method of hair removal as shugaring. A recipe with citric acid enhances its effectiveness. As evidenced by at least the fact that once having tried this procedure in a specialized salon, a woman wants to repeat it at home. So, consider in more detail this method of removing unwanted hair.
Proper shugaring is an epilation with the help of a specially welded mass, which is based on sugar. The name itself comes from the English word sugar. However, this procedure was known in Persia, hundreds of years ago. Oriental beauties quite successfully used shugaring. A recipe with
citric acid that enhances the positive effect is one of the modern variations of the ancient secrets of the beauty of the female body. However, the overall technology has not changed to this day.
Boiled sugar epilation is comparable to wax in effectiveness. However, it refers to less painful procedures. It is necessary to note the beneficial effect of caramel on women's skin: it becomes even more delicate and silky than after applying wax strips.
Using shugaring (a recipe with citric acid in our case) at home is quite simple due to the following factors:
1. Profitability and accessibility of this method for any woman. At the same time, its ingredients (water, sugar, citric acid or
lemon juice) are always in any store.
2. The absence of skin damage during sugar hair removal. The epidermis does not peel off with the hairs, there are no cuts (for example, as when shaving). In addition, there is no need to use depilators of dubious quality. Thus, there will be no burns, redness, irritation and bruising that accompany other methods of removing unwanted hairs.
3. Due to the natural composition, shugaring is practically not able to cause an allergic reaction.
4. This method of hair removal is characterized by the absence of any unpleasant consequences, for example, inflammation associated with ingrown hairs.
Sugaring, recipe with citric acid
At the very beginning, it is recommended to prepare a little caramel in order to understand the general technology of using this method. And in subsequent times it will be possible to increase the portion to the required amount.
So, the mixture for shugaring is represented by the following ingredients:
- 3 tsp Sahara;
- 1 tsp warm water;
- 1 tsp citric acid.
It is also necessary to prepare the dishes in which this mass will be boiled, and a saucer filled with cold water to check the readiness of the composition.
Mix sugar and water in a saucepan and simmer over low heat, stirring thoroughly. As soon as the mass acquires a caramel golden color, you need to check its readiness by dropping the mixture into cold water. If the droplet solidifies and does not spread, then the depilation product is ready. Add citric acid to the resulting caramel, then remove from heat and, stirring continuously, cool to room temperature. The finished mass must be well kneaded to a marble consistency, and then applied to the skin. After the mixture hardens a little, it can be removed along with unnecessary hairs.
