Sugar Leg Wax 

2 C sugar 
1/4 C lemon juice 
1/4 C water 
2 tbsp vegetable glycerine 
waxing cloth strips (buy at the drugstore) OR use strips
 of linen cut to the size of these strips 
wooden popsicle sticks (to stir the wax and to apply) 

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Stir frequently
 while heating to 270 degrees F. Pour into jars and cover 
 with lids. If you use plastic jars, you'll be able to
 microwave this mixture instead of heating it on the
 stove. That's it!! You just made your own leg wax/sugar
 that you'd pay $20 for in the stores! 

To use the Sugar Wax: Heat in the microwave for ten
 seconds on high. Using a wooden stir stick, stir VERY
 well. It should be warm but not HOT. Please be very
 careful when heating up this wax as it's very easy to
 burn yourself. If the wax isn't warm enough, place it
 back in the microwave for five seconds, and stir again.
 Remember, this is hot sugar syrup, if it gets too hot
 you'll be badly burned. Heat to around 110F.

Lightly powder the area to be treated. Spread a thin
 layer of the wax on in the same direction as the hair
 grows. Apply the waxing cloth strip over the applied
 wax, and rub down well to get the wax to stick to the
 cloth. Pull your skin taut, and in one quick motion pull
 the fabric off of your skin AGAINST the direction of hair
 growth. Continue with the other areas of your leg or
 wherever you're waxing. 

When you're done waxing a complete area, rub in lotion,
 aloe vera gel (fresh is best) or oil to soothe your
 legs. You can use the homemade waxing strips again if
 you soak it in soapy water to dissolve the sugar off the
 fabric and then toss it in with your wash as normal.
