Apparently hairless bodies are not a recent fad. People have been stripping hair from their bodies for thousands of years. The Persians came up with a way of removing unwanted hair with a method we now know as the sugar hair removal.

Another name for this method is "Persian waxing." It's a lot like waxing your hair. The basic difference is that sugaring uses natural ingredients instead of chemicals. Sugar hair removal is also considered less painful compared to traditional waxing. This is due to the fact that the sugar sticks to the hair and not the skin. When you yank the sugared strip, it just pulls the hair not pieces of your skin.

The Persian name for the sugar mixture was "moum." The ingredients are sugar, lemon, and water. You have to be careful with the amount of water used because you want to have the right consistency, It should be thick, about the consistency of a wax hair removal product.

Not only does sugar hair removal hurt less, it is about the cheapest method of removing unwanted body hair. The only cost is the sugar and lemon. You will need a spatula to spread it on your skin and cotton strips to pull off the hair.

As noted above, sugar hair removal is less painful and cheaper. The only downside is that it can be messy. However, sugar is water soluble so it is easy to clean up after. You can shower it off your body and use a damp cloth to tidy up your work area and tools.

You can buy the sugaring compound already made or make your own. If you are interested in making your own, here's the recipe:
Mix together in a saucepan two cups of white sugar, one quarter cup of water, and one quarter cup of lemon juice. Put the pan on a stove and heat it to two hundred forty degrees Fahrenheit. It will boil so keep the heat to medium. When it reaches the right temperature, take it off the stove. Pour the mixture into a glass jar. Microwave it for about ten to twenty seconds when you go to use it.

To use it, powder the skin before you apply it. It should be warm from the microwave. Spread it on but not too thick. Press a strip of cotton cloth over the sugared area and let the sugar cool a bit. Then pull in the opposition direction from the hair growth.
