Sugaring
Sugaring is an ancient hair removal practice that's gaining popularity today because the effects are similar to waxing, but the sugar is only slightly warmed (never reaching the same high temperature as wax), causing less skin irritation. And the sugar tends to stick only to the hairs, not to the skin, causing less discomfort.
Body sugaring is a method for removing body hair that is a cheap, home made alternative to waxing (or shaving). The theory behind body sugaring is that the hair is removed by the root, and when it grows back there will be less of it, and it will be softer and not stubbly as it is if a razor had been used.
The process is the same as waxing: Warm sugar is applied to the skin, then removed with muslin strips. It takes a certain skill - nimble fingers - to perform this procedure, and some say sugaring is not as effective as waxing in the end.
Body sugaring is done by making a paste of sugar, water, and lemon juice that has been heated to the softball candy stage.
After you have let the paste cool enough so that it won't burn, you spread it on your skin, cover it with cotton strips of cloth, and then rip the cloth off like one does a bandaid. Most find sugaring less painful than waxing.
