What is 'sugaring'?

Sugaring is a hair removal method that's commonly used on Middle Eastern women. To make the product, it's really very simple. Women do it in their own home. It's about mixing sugar and water and lemon juice and boiling it to a point where it becomes thick, and then they have to cool it down, obviously. What they do with this product is that they play with it. I watched my mother using the sugar and how she turned the sugar into a dough; she would kneed it in her hand and she would then apply it to the leg or whatever part of the body that she wanted to have hair-free.
