How To Make Sugar Wax With Honey

This recipe can be easily doubled.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup white sugar
• 1/8 cup honey
• 1 tbsp water
• 1 tbsp lemon

Instructions

• First, add all ingredients into a non-stick saucepan, and cook until it begins to turn brown.
• If it starts smoking, it means it is burning. So once it is honey brown, it is ready.
• Make sure you have a ceramic bowl in an ice-bath waiting to receive the hot honey sugar wax.
• Next, pour the hot honey wax into the bowl, and stir it with a spoon to help it cool.
• When it is cool, transfer it into a microwaveable container, and keep it.

Use this wax the same way you’d use a regular hard sugar wax. Continue reading…

What to do when your sugar wax is too hard

I’ve never made a hard sugar wax without lemon before, so today being the first time, I got a stubbornly hard wax.

So here’s what you do when your sugar wax is too hard:

• Make a new honey sugar wax recipe, but add 2 tbsp of lemon juice instead of one.
• Cook it on the stove, stirring it continuously until it is a bit syrupy but not browning yet.
• It should look like the one below.

• Next, heat the candied hard wax in the microwave, and pour it into the one on the stove.
• And continue stirring it until the old and new wax is well incorporated.
• Once it begins to foam, take the sugar wax off the stove. Then pour it into the ice-cold bowl.
• Now you have a whole new sugar wax for sugaring.

Why your sugar wax is too sticky

If you’ve been making sugar wax at home, you must have made a very sticky wax at least once. From experience, I noticed sugar wax gets too sticky if there’s too much lemon in it.

I normally use a tablespoon of lemon plus 2 tbsp of water for the perfect sugar wax. But the times I used more than one tbsp of lemon, my sugar wax turns out very sticky.

Likewise, when the lemon is not enough, you’d either have a sugar wax that needs lots of kneading or one that would bend your spoon.

So make sure to stick to the recipe.

What to do if your sugar wax is too sticky

When I first made this wax, it was really sticky.

But I noticed it was a lot better the following day. I guess the wax just needed more time to cool.

• So I suggest you leave a sticky wax overnight and see how it goes.
• But if by the next day it is still sticking to your fingers more than it is supposed to, make a fresh one but with a tad bit less lemon.
• Then mix it with the sticky one, and you’d nail a perfect DIY sugar wax.
