Create a homemade sugar wax by combining 1 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of lemon juice, and 1/4 cup of water in a pot. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it turns a golden-brown color. Let it cool until it's warm but not hot. Apply the wax with a spatula on the desired area in the opposite direction of hair growth. Place a cotton strip over the wax, press down, and quickly pull in the direction of hair growth.
