{"title":"2 DIY Body Sugaring Recipes for Natural Hair Removal","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBody Sugaring? What Is That!?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn today's How To DIY, I saw sugaring recipes for hair removal. This caught my attention while scouring the web, and I feel that this is highly relevant to my readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you wonder what it is, it's a sugary mixture that is heated, applied, and removed just like traditional wax with strips of fabric to get rid of hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe regrowth time is about the same as traditional wax because you are doing the same process. However, it is way better for your skin because it is much more gentle if done correctly. Sugaring is a lot like exfoliating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike wax, it only removes your dead skin cells. Wax, however, removes the whole top layer of your skin! Ouch! The plus of sugaring is that your skin is left soft and smooth. In addition, sugaring is cost-effective; you'll know what's in it, and there isn't much mess! Finally, the mixture is water-soluble and can be washed off easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow that's what I like to hear; no-fuss waxing! Although, I have to confess that I don't wax. I tried doing it to myself on small test areas and couldn't bring myself to pull the strip with confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI even went to a salon to get it done professionally, and I was a big baby and couldn't handle the repeated pain.
