What is lemon-sugar depilatory?

Depilatory can be made with lemon juice and sugar. This natural method of hair removal is suitable for fine to medium textured hair. It also works well on hair on the face, underarms, and bikini area.

Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons sugar

- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

- 2 tablespoons water

Directions:

1. In a small bowl combine sugar and lemon juice, mixing well to form a thick paste.

2. Add water and mix. Continue mixing until it forms a consistent paste.

3. Heat the mixture in the microwave for approximately 15-20 seconds or until the paste becomes warm and spreadable.

4. Test the temperature of the paste on your wrist to ensure it is not too hot.

5. Apply the mixture to the area of unwanted hair growth, ensuring that the hair is completely covered.

6. Allow the paste to remain on the skin for 15-20 minutes, or until the mixture has dried completely.

7. Once the paste has dried, use your fingers to firmly rub the area in the opposite direction of the hair growth. This action will remove the hair along with the paste.

8. Rinse the area with warm water and pat dry.

9. Apply a moisturizer to the skin to soothe any irritation.

Precautions:

- It's important to patch test the depilatory on a small area of the skin before using it on a larger area. This will help you determine if you have any allergic reactions to the ingredients.

- Avoid using lemon-sugar depilatory on irritated, inflamed, or sunburned skin.

- Do not leave the paste on for more than 20 minutes, as this may cause skin irritation or burns.

- If the paste sticks to your skin, you can use warm water to remove it gently.

- Store leftover lemon-sugar depilatory in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
