With summer finally just around the corner, many of us are already opting to brave the bare leg look - which usually means making sure our pins are fuzz-free.

Regular trips to the salon for waxing can be a costly business - but there may be a cheaper way to banish your unwanted leg hair.

A 'crazy' hack video shared on the Facebook group 5-Minute Crafts reveals how you can make your own body wax using sugar, water and lemon juice.

The clip suggests combining a cup of sugar, a quarter of a cup of water and a quarter of a cup of lemon juice in a hot saucepan.

After giving it a good stir, let the concoction boil for five to seven minutes, at which point its texture changes into a thicker, honey-like substance.

Pour the mixture into a bowl and allow it to become cool to touch - which usually takes between 10 and 20 minutes.
