Women all over the world and at all times have striven for ideals. This applies to clothing, makeup and haircuts. A lot of attention is paid to the skin. It should be soft, smooth, without excess vegetation. The key to female attractiveness lurks precisely in the absence of extra hairs. There are ladies who pay attention only to the skin of the face, legs and armpits. But many still prefer to fight hair in the bikini area and on the hands. Indeed, the hands are sometimes more visible to prying eyes than the legs, and therefore they should be given special attention. Today we will talk about how to properly do depilation of skin on your own at home.
Hand depilation: shugaring
This is an easy and painless procedure. In salons, it is very popular, because only natural ingredients are included in the composition for removing vegetation, and the result after applying this technology is stored for a rather long time. So, shugaring is a depilation using sugar paste, which can be prepared at home. For many millennia, women have used this particular method, as it is affordable, cheap and effective.
To prepare the paste you will need very few products: these are six teaspoons of sugar, two tablespoons of water and lemon juice. If only hair removal is performed, these ingredients will be enough.
Procedure
Sugar must be mixed with water in a metal container and put it on a slow fire. Those women who have ever made homemade candies know that in order to avoid burning sugar, the mixture must be constantly mixed. When the sugar turns into a golden caramel, lemon juice is added, the container is removed from the heat. After thorough mixing, the paste must be allowed to cool so as not to burn the skin with hot caramel. While the caramel is cooling, take a bath in order to steam the skin. So the procedure will be less painful. The treated area can be greased with chlorhexidine.
Hand depilation is performed when the paste becomes a comfortable temperature, the skin should be perfectly dry. Put on rubber gloves, take a lump of the mixture from the container, fix it on the line of the beginning of hair growth, distribute against growth on the processing area. The paste should be in close contact with the surface of the skin. When done, with a sharp movement tear off the resulting strip in the opposite direction to the hair growth. Repeat the process on the remaining untreated areas.
After depilation, hands should be washed with warm water and a soothing cream applied to them. The procedure will take no more than half an hour, and it practically does not cause discomfort. Thinking about whether to perform this procedure, make a decision based on a personal pain threshold.

Or another recipe: 200 grams of rosin, 50 grams of paraffin and 100 grams of beeswax are heated to a liquid state. Important! In order for the procedure to be less painful, it is recommended to apply hot wax with a temperature of 40 degrees on the skin. To prevent burns, use a special roller that can be bought at the store. It is also convenient for them to apply the required thin layer.
A strip of cotton fabric is applied to the wax layer, firmly attached to the surface with light movements. Then it is necessary to remove the matter against hair growth with a sharp movement. Waxing hands does not take much time, it will take no more than half an hour with all the preparations. The result of this procedure will last on average two weeks, depending on the density and growth rate of the hairline.
