3. Thanks to its natural composition, shugaring is practically not capable of causing an allergic reaction.

Shugaring, recipe with citric acid

At the very beginning it is recommended to cook a little caramel to understand the general technology of using this method. And in the subsequent times it will be possible to increase the portion to the required amount.

So, the mixture for shugaring is represented by the following ingredients:

• 3 tsp. Sahara;
• 1 tsp. Warm water;
• 1 tsp. Citric acid.

It is also necessary to prepare the dishes in which this mass will be brewed, and a saucer filled with cold water to check the readiness of the composition.

Mix sugar and water in a saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring while stirring. As soon as the mass gets a caramel-golden color, you need to check its readiness by dripping the mixture into cold water. If the droplet freezes and does not spread, then the depilatory agent is ready. Add the citric acid to the resulting caramel, then remove from heat and, stirring constantly, cool to room temperature. The ready-to-weight mass must be well kneaded to a marble consistency, and then applied to the skin. After the mixture is slightly hardened, it can be removed together with unnecessary hairs.
