This step is the initial stage that helps to form the ball of sugar wax while allowing it time to cool down and solidify.

Once you have a thin layer of water on the counter/baking pan, quickly pour the golden syrup onto the surface and using a spoon, start scraping the syrup from the edges going towards the center.

Then get a spray bottle filled with water and start squirting some water on the marble or granite kitchen counter or baking pan.

Once it turns a golden color, immediately turn off the flame and vigorously stir in the guar gum.

I can’t tell the exact time it takes to get to this color because it’s quick and that’s why this is the part people mess up so stay close and keep the flame on the burner stable. Watch it while it quickly turns into a golden syrup.

Continue stirring and keeping an eye on the mixture.

Now start stirring so the sugar dissolves and everything mixes together.

Next add the lemon juice, salt and water.

Add the sugar to a saucepan or non-stick pan like I did.

► Guar gum – This ingredient is a thickener and an extra ingredient to make the sugar wax paste more pliable and elastic so you can pull and stretch it without it being hard. Sugar is also an antibacterial that naturally preserves the sugar wax without it going bad. But if you want, you can try using any sugar. It’ll be difficult to see if it’s ready with brown sugar. ► White sugar – The regular white sugar is what I recommend since you’ll know when it turns that golden syrupy color we want. From what I’ve seen you can also use vinegar as a substitute, but seriously that will stink. Lemon juice is added mainly because it’s rich in citric acid that prevents the sugar from crystallizing and the mixture from becoming gritty.

► Lemon juice – Some sugar wax recipes online say to use ¼ cup of lemon juice but for many people, this can be stinging and irritating on the skin so I chose to use just 2 tsp. That convince you? I sure hope so 🙂 Okay, now onto the recipe: DIY Sugar Wax Recipe without Strips The mixture is water-soluble so it can easily be washed off completely without you having a hard time.No bumps, no ingrown hairs, no dark spots.It’s a quick process and very less painful compared to waxing.

What makes sugar waxing so different and special you ask? Lemme break it down for you: I’ve added a little of another ingredient that makes the recipe better for me but of course it’s totally optional. The basic ingredients in the original Arabian wax recipe include sugar, lemon juice and water. Now, if you’re new to sugar waxing or body sugaring as it’s also known, then I’ll explain – it’s a form of natural (and ancient as it was practiced in Arabia since long ago) body hair removal method using ingredients that are probably in your kitchen right now. I’ve also included a step-by step photo tutorial below so you can see what kind of consistency you should expect.
