How to use Homemade Sugar Wax

09 Dec

Check out my other videos for instructions on cooking it.

RECIPE: 2 CUPS SUGAR, ¼ CUP LEMON JUICE, ¼ CUP WATER

MAKING THE SUGAR WAX:
Using a gas stove:

1.Put the ingredients in a saucepan and heat it on high. It will boil for approximately ten minutes.

2. Watch the bubbles carefully and when the bubbles turn a light brown color, turn the heat down till it’s as low as it can be. The wax should be turning a golden brown color.

3. Let it simmer for about another five minutes while watching very very carefully.
When the wax turns golden brown like the color in my videos then it is done.

(When the wax is on step three and is simmering take a tiny bit out on a spoon and run cold water over it. When it cools enough to touch, it should be stretchy. You can test it on your arm. Do this about every two minutes while the wax is simmering until it stretches out on your arm and pulls off easily. If it sticks and won’t come off it’s not done and if it’s brittle you’ve overcooked it.)

MAKING WAX USING AN ELECTRIC STOVE:

Follow the same steps but reduce the time alot.

Cook the wax on medium for 5 to 8 minutes.

Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 6-10 minutes.

Watch the bubbles carefully and when the wax reaches the correct take it off heat immediately.

OTHER INFO:
Sugar waxing is very inexpensive to use. I use a method of pulling the wax up against the hair and then yanking it down. If you pull the wax off against the direction of hair you are only breaking off the hair strands and hair will grow back much faster. Also you can use an ice cube to close and tighten pores after waxing.

If you like to use strips then this is another way:

Put it on warm against the direction of hair growth (for example up your leg) , put your strip of cotton on (a towel, or old t shirt works) rub in the against the direction of the hair growth and yank it off with hair growth. Try not to get it on too thick (You can use a Popsicle stick for an applicator).

For storage put the hot wax into a glass container that won’t melt. You can put it in the microwave to reheat it for use.

Where could I find a beauty salon that use oriental wax (a paste made with sugar) in London?

04 Dec

I cannot find any place that uses this kind of wax and when I ask beauticians about this, they don’y even know what I am talking about! I tried to look on internet but I couldn’t find anything either. I used to go to La Sultane de Saba in Paris, and oriental wax is much better than traditional hot wax.

maybe this site can help you http://theclickinfo.com/haircare_5392393973.us

Skin Care – How to Get Rid of Brown Spots

02 Dec

Changes in skin coloration are a normal part of the aging process. But many people find brown spots, also known as “liver spots” or “age spots”, to be unattractive. These spots that often appear on the back of the hands are caused by sunlight exposure or chronic bruising of the skin.

If you have unwanted brown spots, dark spots or dark patches spreading on your face or other places, and you want them to vanish completely, giving your skin lasting clarity and beauty, then you’ll want to treat your brown spots with our Miracle Cure.

Epilators like Silk Epil from Braun remove hair from the root, and so they are similar to waxing, as waxing also removes hair from the root. However, you may get more in-growths if you use these machines, so you should scrub your body with a pumice stone while bathing to counter this problem. You need to give more details about the brown spot. Is it a freckle or is it a mole? How big is the spot? If it is a mole, you should visit a dermatologist.

Prevention is the easy part—apply sunscreen to your hands, arms, face, and scalp (if not covered with hair) every day, whether you plan to go outside or not. You see, sun damage comes in two forms: UVA and UVB. Ultraviolet A rays are known as “aging rays”; UVA sunlight makes up 90-95% of all sunlight that reaches the earth’s surface. It penetrates windows of houses and cars; it gets through clouds; it’s present 365 days a year. Even more troublesome is the fact that UVA exposure is “silent”. You don’t get a tan or sunburn from UVA exposure. UVB rays, also called “burning rays,” cause tanning and burning of the skin, so you know when it’s happening. Enough said? So from this day forward, you’ll apply sunscreen with an SPF of 30?

A laser generates and intense beam of light. This beam brings energy to a specific site, through a small hand piece connected to the laser. The laser light is absorbed by oxyhemoglobin (bright red blood cells carrying oxygen) and melanin/pigment (black or brown pigment found in the skin) causing decomposition or destruction by heat of unwanted cells while leaving healthy cells intact.

Microdermabrasion is another way to remove brown spots. By gently abrading the skin with ultra-fine crystal particulates, microdermabrasion can reduce unwanted pigmentary changes and age spots. It can also benefit our acne patients.

The face, neck, chest and hands are the most popular areas to treat. A progressive series of 5-8 treatments are gently performed 2-4 weeks apart. Peels are often combined with microdermabrasion producing even better results.

Laser is the best way to remove moles. It is good that you have visited a doctor since moles can be the symptoms of other problems. Since that is not the case, simply get them removed through laser.

Sunscreen, protective clothing, and sunglasses help prevent further sun damage. Exposure time in the sun should be limited and seek shade when outdoors. Try to avoid outdoor activities between 10 am and 3 pm, when the ultraviolet rays are strongest. See a dermatologist yearly for a skin examination to check for any abnormal moles or skin cancer.

Ladies, do you make manicures and pedicures part of your beauty regimen?

01 Dec

Do you make manicures, pedicures and eye brow waxing part of your beauty regimen and how often do you go?

Yes, but I do my own. I’ve always been the one who beautifies everyone else–I don’t like other people messing with me. I do my manicures weekly, my pedicures every other week, and my eye brows as often as they start becoming unruly.
