Is sugaring right for you?

Sugaring is a natural and effective treatment method of hair removal that is similar to waxing but uses a sticky paste made from sugar, lemon juice, and water. The paste is applied to the skin at room temperature or slightly warmed and is then quickly removed, pulling hair out from the root.

Sugaring is ideal for customers who :

• Have waxed or sugared within 3-6 weeks ago

• Have fine, light, or sparse hair growth.

• Are using medications like retinol, Retin-A, or antibiotics.

• Receiving treatment on facial, underarms, and bikini areas.

Unlike waxing, sugaring adheres more to the hair than to the skin, making it a gentler option for those with sensitive skin. Many people find sugaring to be less painful than waxing, as the temperature of the sugar paste is cooler than that of wax and the process is gentle, However, the process may take longer because multiple passes may be required to achieve the desired results and it is a slower process. For example, a full leg wax will take 30 mins, whereas a full leg sugaring may take 1 hour or more.

Sugaring can be used on various parts of the body, but receives the best results on small to medium areas such as the face, underarms and bikini area. Typically, it leaves the skin smooth for up to six weeks, and regular treatments might reduce hair growth over time, resulting in softer, well-exfoliated skin. Additionally, since the ingredients are all-natural, sugaring is a more eco-friendly and skin-friendly alternative to other hair removal methods.
