How do you make sugar wax at home?

At home sugar wax, can i use babypowder in place of cornstarch in this?

• my friend and i found this recipe on Google, i was wondering if it HAD to be cornstarch. HAIR REMOVER - BODY SUGARING Juice of 1/2 a lemon 1 cup sugar 1/4 cup honey cornstarch clean cloth cotton strips wooden stick or spreader Dust the area to be waxed, with cornstarch. Combine the first three ingredients in a clean glass bowl, and microwave for two minutes. Stop and stir your sugar mixture every 20-30 seconds. Let it cool to a comfortable warmth, and, using a wooden stick, spread a very thin layer onto your clean skin. Immediately cover the mixture with a strip of cotton fabric. Briskly stroke the strip several timesin the direction of the hair growth, and then, pull the skin taut, and quickly rip away the cotton strip,against the direction of hair growth. As you proceed, you may need to reheat your sugar mixture in the microwave to keep it warm. Do not boil it or overheat as you could easily burn your skin.

• Answer:

  Baby powder will stick to the hair and the wax won't grab the hair. Stick with the corn starch. Have you ever waxed your legs before? It hurts ... a lot. Though waxing lasts longer and is my choice.
