Persian leg wax recipe?

Question

An old friend of mine used to wax her legs with some stuff she and her sisters made up -- it was sugar or honey, cooked. Does anyone know where I can find the recipe? Do you have any tips for working with the honey wax?

I found some honey wax at the drugstore, but it's like $10 for a tube. I'd kind of like to make it at home. The drugstore stuff works pretty well, though. (-: Jeanne B, if you are reading this, I'd love your expert advice!

Answer 1

HI as an arab, I will give you our receipt. It is a cup of sugar, a small cup of lemon juice and a dash of salt. Put them on the stove, wait until they caramelize. Be careful it is very hot!! VEry hot!!! So, before you pour, make sure you get a cold surface- pour oil on the surface and then pour your hot mixture- as it will go on the surface it will cool down, start making it in a ball and collect it... Clean the surface up- leave it soaked in water- then scrub!

Now you have a wax to use.. When it is cool, its going to look solid. Put a dab of water on your hand and then work through a small chunk until it turn yellow golden colored.. HAppy waxing...
I knwo it sound slike a process, but when you get the hang of it- it will become easier.. Thats the Lebanese recepie that my mother taught me..

HAIR REMOVAL BY WAXING - by Editor



Body hair is the bane of every (well, almost every) woman?s existence, and getting rid of unwanted body hair tops the list of beauty priorities. One popular body hair removal method is waxing. Read on for answers to some of the most frequently asked questions on waxing. Find out on what parts of the body you can wax, and how to prepare wax at home.
?
On what areas of the skin can I wax?

You can wax your entire body, whether you are a male or a female. However, there are certain areas where you shouldn?t apply wax:

Inside the ears and nose
Eyelashes
On the nipples
The male genital area
There are of course far more women who wax their bodies than men, but the number of males who go in for waxing is on the increase ? especially those with excessive body hair.?
?
Can I wax my sideburns?

Yes, you most certainly can! You can wax your entire face, including forehead, but unless absolutely essential, this is not recommended. When getting your sideburns waxed, specify that you want a very small area waxed, and ensure that the beautician sticks to the area close to the ear. You could wax your chin, upper lip and eyebrows as well. However, it is preferable to thread the eyebrows and upper lip.?
?

Can I wax my privates??

The term ?Brazillian waxing? is used to denote removal of hair from the entire female genital area. As wax is made from purely natural products like sugar, water and lemon, it can be safely applied to the genitalia.? Brazillian waxing can be very painful, but many women feel that the results are well worth it. A less painful alternative is a bikini wax, in which the area visible outside the bikini line is waxed.?
?

What are the advantages of waxing?

?Hair takes a longer time to grow back after waxing, because the hair is removed from the root. It takes around 4-6 weeks to grow back, and sometimes even longer.?
Waxing slowly reduces the growth of hair, so the more often you wax, the slower your hair growth.?
Gradually, over an extended period of time, the hair may even stop growing in the waxed area.?
Wax is made from natural ingredients like sugar, lemon and water, as opposed to depilatories (hair removal creams and lotions), which are made from harsh chemicals that burn the hair. Sugar and lemon are both beneficial for the skin.?
Dead skin is removed in the process of waxing. Waxing thus doubles as an effective exfoliator.?
The skin feels smooth after waxing.?


Can I wax by myself??

Yes, you most certainly can! All it takes is a little practice, and once you?ve nailed the technique, waxing can be as easy as, well, cooking rice! The best part about being able to wax yourself is that you can be clean and hairless all the time since you will not have to take time out to visit the beauty saloon, and will not be dependent on anyone. And if you?re prone to shaving in times of emergency, once your learn how to wax yourself you will not have to touch a razor ever again!? Nevertheless, it can be a little messy and you may feel that it?s just not worth the hassle. If the saloon is a stone?s throw away, by all means, enjoy getting waxed by professionals. But if you?re tight on cash, you just may want to give it a shot yourself. So, here goes:
?

Wax recipe

Ingredients

2 cups sugar
? cup water
? cup lemon (nimbu) juice
?

Method

Pour the sugar, water and lemon juice in a saucepan, and heat it over a low flame. Keep stirring the mixture until all the sugar has melted, and you have a thick brown liquid. Let it cool slightly.?
?

Waxing technique

Test the temperature before applying the wax to your skin. It should be hot, but not scalding, or you can burn yourself.?
Once the wax has cooled slightly, test it on your finger. Blow on it to cool it with your breath and apply it to your skin with a butter knife, in the direction of hair growth.?
Place a clean cotton cloth strip on the wax and yank it against the direction of hair growth.?
Wipe the area clean with a cold cloth after you?ve finished waxing.?
You could also apply ice to the waxed area, to close and tighten pores.?
You may notice that your skin has turned red, or that you have tiny bumps on the skin immediately after waxing. This is a normal reaction, and the redness and bumps should disappear within an hour. Applying a moisturizer or soothing lotion will help.?

If you can still see sugar particles in the wax, the hair will probably not come out and you would need to re-cook the wax.
