Process
Step 1. Heat
Add the sugar, honey, and water to a pan and heat over low heat. Also put two drops of tea tree essential oil to give the preparation fragrance.
Step 2. Stir
Stir all this mixture constantly with a spoon until you see that the sugar dissolves completely, just as if you were making a candy. The way to know that the wax is ready is to stretch it a little, if you see that it is somewhat flexible, it will be ready. Another test you can do (if you have a kitchen thermometer) is to take the temperature of the mixture and when it is at 125 degrees, it will be time to remove it from the heat.
Step 3. Reserve
Remove the mixture from the heat and place it in a glass bowl, allowing the wax to cool for at least two hours before using it.
Step 4. Apply
Once the mixture is cold, you can use it. Heat a small amount in the microwave for 10-30 seconds. Finally dip the popsicle stick into the wax and apply to the skin in the direction of hair growth. Immediately take a soft cloth, press it firmly over the area where you put the wax and remove in a single pull. Repeat like this in every place you need it. At the end, apply moisturizing body cream and that’s it, bye-bye hair.
