I'm an Esthetician, and I'm Begging You to Stop Making Your Own Sugar Wax at Home

"If you're going to make your own wax at home, you'll likely get the honey-like runny consistency that you'll need strips and spatulas for, so you probably won't see all of the benefits and it'll be a lot more like waxing at home." And as Amber Johnson, a California-based esthetician known as the "Skin Whisperer" puts it, "making it at home is a disaster." So leave the product formulations to the pros, and opt for something like Sugar Sugar Wax Goop ($36) to get the job done.
