This method is the most common, cheap, hypoallergenic and safe. Suitable for sensitive skin, including the deep bikini area. Sugaring is not capable of burning or causing cuts, like other procedures, does not cause much trouble if done at home, and does not take more time than in a salon. That is why the procedure is successfully applied independently.

Sugar Waxing is a more painful procedure in which a store-bought paste is applied to the skin. Afterwards, a strip of fabric is applied, which is sharply removed in the direction of hair growth when the mass hardens completely. The process is similar to waxing. The paste is sold in specialized stores. To use it you need to melt required amount in a water bath. Before purchasing, you should pay attention to the composition. Fabric strips are sold as a set or separately.

Sugaring is a procedure for removing hair using sugar mass, cooked with your own hands. The composition of the paste in this case is unique and the required amount can be cooked without the use of special ingredients or equipment. It is enough to have an ordinary home stove and a container of the required size, as well as components that are always present in the kitchen.

Sugaring is performed on the principle of waxing, but has more significant advantages. Sugar hair removal can be done at home with or without cloth strips.

Benefits of sugaring

Sugar hair removal has the following positive aspects:

1. The mixture for the sugaring procedure is prepared on the basis of three essential ingredients: sugar, lemon juice and water. The cost of these products is low, and the products themselves are affordable.
2. Hair removal can be done at home, without outside help.
3. The hair removal composition, prepared at home with your own hands, is hypoallergenic. The mixture contains no dyes, chemical components, or perfumes.
4. The biggest problem with hair removal is that the process leaves a large number of microtraumas on the skin. When sugaring, even hairs 1-2 mm long are pulled out without damaging the skin.
5. Sugaring at home can be done no more often than once every 3-4 weeks, since the hair is pulled out along with the bulb, there are no problems with ingrown hairs, inflammation and irritation. During the epilation process, hairs are removed in the direction of growth, so they do not break off.
6. Sugar is easily washed off from the surface of the skin, while it remains smooth. The paste itself does not heat up when used and does not leave burns.
7. Over time, the growing hairs will become thinner and lighter, and soon the need for frequent hair removal will disappear.

Preparation for the procedure and its implementation

The process of organizing sugaring is no less important. The result largely depends on its observance:

• the procedure is quite painful when first used, so it is better to prepare ice, cream or pain-relieving tablets for yourself;
• hair must be cut to 5 mm in length, since removing longer hairs will cause severe pain;
• Before epilation, the skin must be cleaned and degreased; this can be done with a tonic or regular soap;
• after manipulation, dry the skin at the epilation site;
• wash off the remaining paste by using a shower or wiping with a damp cloth;
• After sugaring, you need to soothe the skin with any moisturizer.

Rules for sugaring

To make sugaring at home less painful and more effective, you should follow some rules. So, the paste should be applied against the direction of the hair slowly and smoothly. If you can’t apply it with your hands, you can use a spatula or a wooden stick. After applying the composition, wait a few minutes.

Hairs should be pulled out according to their growth using clear and sharp movements. When torn in hard-to-reach places, the skin is slightly stretched, then the process will be less painful. The paste can also be rolled.

You can practice the procedure on the skin of your legs, only then move on to more intimate places. In the first days after sugaring, you should not take sunbathing, so as not to get sunburn delicate skin.

The pain of the procedure depends on the person’s biorhythm and time of day. In the evening, sugaring is less painful. A small amount of alcohol in the blood also reduces pain. The menstrual cycle can also influence sensitivity.

Paste with natural lemon juice

Compound:
Granulated sugar - 10 tbsp. l.

Juice of 1/2 part lemon

2. The pain during sugaring is several times less than during waxing.
