This Easy DIY Sugar Wax Recipe Needs Only 3 Ingredients

Tools and materials:

• Granulated sugar
• Teacup
• Spatula
• Mixing bowl
• Lemon
• Tea tree oil
• Saucepan
• Thermometer
• Jar

1. Mix everything together

Stary by combining one teacup’s worth of sugar with 50-60ml (2 fluid ounces) of water in a mixing bowl. Squeeze out a lemon to make about one teaspoon of lemon juice - that is enough. Lastly, add 10 drops of tea tree oil because this helps with skin irritation.

Once done, mix it all together, and when everything is combined, transfer the mixture to a saucepan. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with the spatula to get all of the wax mixture out.

*Please note this is going to make a hard wax. If you want a softer consistency in your wax, you should use half the water or add 1-1.5 more cups of sugar.

2. Boil the mixture

Place the pot over a low heat, and you will notice that some bubbles start to develop.

I advise using a thermometer so that you can check the temperature of the wax and ensure that it doesn’t burn or you don’t take it off too soon.

When the mixture reaches 120°C (248°F), take it off the heat.

3. Pour into a jar

Next, pour your wax into a jar. Be careful and pour slowly because it will be very hot. Let the wax fully cool down and set before you use it.
