How to Make a Homemade Sugaring Paste to Remove Hair

Unlike typical waxing, which strips your skin of vital moisture, causing inflamed, dry, and itchy skin as well as ingrown hairs, sugaring is a slightly gentler way of removing hair. Because it's all-natural, made generally of sugar, water, and lemon juice, it irritates the skin less because there are no artificial ingredients or harsh chemicals.
