What is it?

"Sugaring," for the uninitiated, is one of the oldest forms of hair removal. Seriously, not even the ancient Egyptians thought to torture their women with waxing strips. (What gives, western patriarchy?) Made solely from sugar, water, and lemon juice, the paste is applied on the body in the direction of hair growth, then removed from the root with a flick of the wrist in the same direction. It's all 100% natural and results in less hair breakage, less skin irritation, and better long-term effects.
