Summer has taught me that sugaring in hot weather can be a painful mess. My sugar paste got too gummy/sticky/runny to use without bruising myself. I learned too things. First, if you can't get it off your skin, spread it thinner and apply a piece of an old T-shirt or other firm cloth, rub it in, and pull as usual. This way you can get it off your skin and have the hair go with it. I hate having to just rinse it off. (I don't admit defeat well without first having exhausted all resources.) Second, add more sugar to your mix, about 1 cup extra. When the weather gets hot enough that overcooking the sugar paste isn't enough, it's time to add that extra cup.
Hot weather recipe:
3 cups of sugar
1/4 cup of lemon juice
1/4 cup of water
This thickens up the mix so that it will be firm enough to work with again. Happy sugaring!
