Make sugar paste yourself for gentle hair removal inexpensively?


Body hair can also be perceived as beautiful - but if you want silky smooth, hairless skin on your legs or body, men and women have to reach for a razor almost every day to prevent a “stubble field”. Or alternatively choose the longer-lasting but painful epilation in which the hair and roots are pulled out. There are various methods for this with electrical devices and with cold or warm wax, which can also be used at home. Anyone who opts for a professional and gentle treatment in the cosmetic studio instead has to spend a lot of money on it. 


Hair removal by means of sugaring, on the other hand, is also easy, painless and particularly inexpensive at home. For this purpose, you can make a sugar paste yourself from just two ingredients for little money. 



Make sugar gel for hair removal yourself



You only need two ingredients to make about 350 ml sugar paste 


: 200 g granulated sugar (refined, white sugar or raw cane sugar , not whole cane sugar)


: 200 ml lemon juice


A large saucepan with at least two liters capacity is necessary for the preparation, as the sugar mixture foams and rises during the cooking process. You will also need a large wooden spoon and a bowl of lukewarm tap water. 


It is best to fill the finished sugar paste into an airtight, heat-resistant container, for example a clip-on jar or a large screw- top jar.

Here's how you go about making the sugar paste: 


1. Mix sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan and heat at medium temperature (eg 8 of 12) - rapid boiling is not recommended, as the mixture burns quickly and the right consistency can no longer be achieved. Stir constantly while heating and do not leave the room under any circumstances, as sugar, like milk, can suddenly boil over




2. After a few minutes, small bubbles form, a little later they turn into dense foam. As soon as the foam turns golden, the sugar mixture approaches the desired consistency. 


3. Do a first drip test: remove a little of the mixture with the spoon and drip into the bowl with the lukewarm tap water. Proceed very carefully, the liquid is very hot and sticky! When the paste forms a resinous structure in the water, it's done. This can be checked by kneading with your fingers. If the mixture immediately dissolves in the water or floats to the surface, continue to simmer.


4. Repeat the drop test until the consistency is correct. Then take the pot off the stove and let it cool for about a minute while stirring.


5. Carefully pour the mass into the container. Leave the lid open until it is completely cold, otherwise condensation will form, which will damage the paste.


Tip: You can use a food thermometer to make it even easier to determine whether the sugar mass is ready . Heat the mixture to a temperature of around 125 ° C before you do the drip test,


It takes a little practice and experience to heat the sugar mass and take it off the stove at the right moment. But once you get the hang of it, you can always use simple ingredients to create a natural and inexpensive alternative to shaving and waxing. Note: It is essential that the paste cool down to around body temperature before use. Fresh from the stove it can cause severe burns!

How to cook flank steak?

Flank steak When properly prepared, it is especially tender and aromatic. The flank steak is lean and usually 2-3cm thick and weighs around 700-1000 grams. In the USA it is part of the standard range in almost every supermarket. In this country it is more difficult to get a good flank steak. The German butchers often do not know the cut and the flank ends up in the minced meat or sausage. And if you are lucky enough to get a flank, it is often tough because it has not matured long enough. That's why I swear primarily about US goods that can be bought in the wholesale market (Metro and Handelshof). But not everyone has the opportunity to shop there. There are a few online retailers, such as Albers Food , that also have flank steak in their range. Prepare the flank steak properly In order to get a tender and aromatic steak from the "belly flap" of the beef, you should pay attention to a few things. You should take the meat out of the refrigerator at a good time so that the ...

How to become a private investigator?

Since the designation of the profession as a private detective is not legally protected in Germany, you can theoretically call yourself a private detective after registering as a business. The job title is not linked to an apprenticeship or the like. There is also no state vocational training for private investigators in Germany. Training comes before learning by doing But the job title detective alone is not enough. Because if you have no idea of ​​the profession, then you cannot do the job properly. This is exactly the same as with all other professions. “Learning by doing” is certainly not the right way to go. The path to the private detective profession is therefore often followed by people who come from related professions: Electronics technician for the areas of eavesdropping and video surveillance Middle service officials (police, federal police, customs) Lawyers For career changers in the private detective profession, training through the ZAD is ideal. At the ZAD, even complete...
