Wax my back? but it causes acne..

[Anonymous]

okay... waxing my back causes acne(I tried a small portion)

any other options? the acne goes in a week but the spots remain...

how do I get rid of spots? easy home-made treatments? or tell me something I can find in the market and NOT order online.

You could try sugar waxing instead. The chemicals in regular waxing could contribute to the acne your suffering from. Basically, for sugar waxing, you take two cups of sugar (any sugar is fine) and mix it with 3/4 cup of water and 2 tsp of lemon juice in a small sauce pan. Heat it on high until it boils. Stirring occasionally, heat on a medium flame until the mixture turns a golden brown. This step may take a while. It took me between 20 and 30 minutes when I timed it this afternoon. It will bubble up somewhat while cooking- if it starts boiling over, lower the heat. When cooked, pour into a microwavable container. A silicon baking dish is the best option because it is flexible and non stick and will allow you to work with the sugar wax more easily. Let the sugar wax cool until it has hardened a drop. This will take a bit of trial and error until you figure out the perfect temperature and texture that is easiest for you to work with. The edges of the sugar wax will cool and harden before the center, so keep that in mind when deciding where to take the wax from.Rub the sugar wax on your skin, let it cool and harden for a few seconds, then rip it up like regular waxing. Hope this helps!
