Sugar Hair Removal Recipe

This is from an e-mail that I receive from Looking Good

"This recipe for hair removal and save a bundle on systems that cost a fortune. This recipe costs about $1.00 to make.

Give it a try it really works.

• Juice of 1/2 a lemon, lime.
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup honey

Mix all ingredients and Put in microwave and cook stirring occasionally until it has boiled about 2 minutes, stir it and microwave again for about 20-30 seconds.

Let it cool till it is warm and you can spread a THIN strip onto your skin. Make sure your skin is clean, so the oils in your skin and hair don't keep the sugar from sticking.

Dust the area with cornstarch first then using a small knife with no blade, a plastic putty knife, or a tongue depressor apply where needed."
