The Unusual Sugar Wax from Coconut Sugar

18 Aug The Unusual Sugar Wax from Coconut Sugar

In their search for an alternative natural skincare and body care routine, many people turn to do-it-yourself methods that use simple and natural ingredients. One such method that is gaining popularity is sugar waxing. While white sugar is typically used to create traditional sugar wax, a unique variant uses coconut sugar’s sweetness to create a DIY waxing solution. We’ll explore the craft of sugar waxing in this post and walk you through the steps of creating your very own coconut sugar-based sugar wax. 

What is Sugar Waxing? 

Sugar waxing, also known as sugaring, is an old hair removal technique that use a sticky liquid to gently remove unwanted hair from the skin. The original sugar wax recipe combines sugar, water, and lemon juice to create a malleable paste. The paste is then quickly withdrawn against the direction of hair development after being put to the skin and secured with a cloth or paper strip.

Why Coconut Sugar? 

Coconut sugar, obtained from the sap of coconut palm plants, has gained popularity as a healthier alternative to refined sugar due to its lower glycemic index and the presence of some minerals. While not the usual option for sugar waxing, coconut sugar has several distinctive qualities. Its gentle perfume and rich caramel color give the procedure a touch of luxury. Remember that experimenting with coconut sugar results in only minor changes in the finished product.

Here’s how to make your own coconut sugar-based sugar wax:

Ingredients:

1 cup of coconut sugar

1/4 cup of water

1/4 cup of lemon juice water 

Steps:

1. In a saucepan, mix the coconut sugar, water, and lemon juice.
2. Stirring constantly, cook the mixture over medium heat until the coconut sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture starts to boil.
3. The mixture should keep simmering until it thickens into a syrupy consistency. Drop a tiny amount into some cold water to check the consistency. The mixture is ready if you can roll a droplet between your fingers into a soft ball.
4. When the mixture reaches the proper consistency, turn off the heat and let it cool for a moment. Verify that it is still safe to apply to the skin and comfortably heated.
5. Start using the mixture to remove hair when it has only slightly cooled down but is still workable with your hands.
6. Warm up a little portion of the mixture by rubbing it between your hands. Apply it to the desired area going against the direction of hair growth.
7. Smooth out the applied sugar wax by pressing a cotton strip or piece of wax paper against it.
8. Pull the strip or paper off quickly and in the opposite direction of the hair’s development.
