METHOD- Facial Hair Removal Wax
Place the saucepan on medium heat. Add the mentioned quantities of white sugar, honey, and lemon in it. Also, add 2 tbsp water and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Then simmer for approximately 10-15 minutes. Stir well. Once the mixture darkens and thickens, remove from heat. Allow it to cool to room temperature and add chamomile essential oil.
Use a plastic spatula to spread a thin, even layer of this mixture over the area in the direction of hair growth. Allow the mixture to cool and harden. Quickly pull the hair out in the opposite direction of growth. Repeat as needed.
Apply a clean, organic Aloe Vera gel afterward or rub an ice cube. This will reduce sensitivity and soothe the skin to a great extent. Follow up with your usual moisturizer.

ADVICE
- Start with a clean skin & make sure your hands are washed as well.
- Make sure the wax is & stays in pliable form, but it’s not too hot to burn your skin. This is very important!
- Your wax must not be too soft or too hard. So don’t over boil it, otherwise, it will become hard just like a candy.
- Always start with a small patch of hair/skin first, ideally close to the ear, around the jawline. In case any irritation occurs, that area will be least visible. Wait at least a few minutes before moving on to the rest of the face, to make sure you know how your skin is reacting to it.
- Pull the wax off firmly & rapidly, in the opposite direction of hair growth.
- Do not wax over active acne, so you don’t risk spreading bacteria.
