A lot of you asked me these questions, so here’s a quick guide! 🤍 1️⃣ Why is my sugar wax too hard? Usually, it means the sugar was cooked for too long or at too high a temperature. 🧊 Try the cold-water test: Drop a little sugar into cold water. 🟡 Soft, small ball + slightly sticky → Ready! 🧊 Spreads out → Cook a little longer. 🟤 Hard ball → Probably overcooked. 🍬 Hardens or crumbles → Too much heat. Just keep in mind that cooking time can vary depending on your heat and pot, so it’s better to check the texture too! 🤍 2️⃣Can I reuse sugar wax? ❌ Wax that touched your skin: Don’t reuse it. ⭕️ Clean, unused wax: You can reuse it! Store it in a clean, airtight container. To soften it, microwave for about 10 seconds, stir, then heat in 5-second intervals if needed. 🔥 Always let it cool enough before applying it to your skin! 3️⃣What can I use instead of lemon? Lemon provides acidity, which helps keep the wax soft and stretchy. 🍋 Lime juice — 4 spoons (30ml) 🍊 Calamansi juice — 4 spoons (30ml) 🥄 Vinegar — 1 large spoon (10ml) Vinegar may smell stronger! 😂 4️⃣Where can I use it? I’ve personally used it on my arms, legs, and underarms. I don’t personally recommend using it on the face or Brazilian area because those areas can be more sensitive. 🥺 If it’s your first time, always test a small area first! 5️⃣Can teenagers use it? Yes!, but be extra careful! Start with a small area, such as your calf, and see how your skin reacts. ⚠️ Never use it on cuts, wounds, or irritated/inflamed skin. 🔥 Freshly made wax can be very hot, so let it cool completely before using it! 6️⃣My recipe 🍚 Sugar — 1 cup (200g) 🍋 Lemon juice — 4 spoons (30ml) 💧 Water — 4 spoons (30ml) 7️⃣Can I eat it? 😂 If it’s completely clean and hasn’t touched your skin, you can eat it! 😂 I tried some of the unused wax myself, and it tasted like lemon candy! 🍋🍬 But it got stuck in my teeth SO much, so it was kind of uncomfortable! 😂🦷 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Hope this helps, chingu! 🥰 #SugarWax #sugarwaxing #HairRemoval #Sugaring#KBeauty#KoreanBeauty - @chingu_mj
