How does it work?
The sugar paste can be used warmed or at room temperature. With gentle application to the area of hair to be removed, the paste is then molded against the direction of hair growth and removed in the direction of hair growth to prevent inflammation. Leaving hairless, exfoliated and smooth skin. The treatment contributes to exfoliation of surface texture as well providing an instant glow to the treated body and face. |
Sugaring vs. Waxing Sugaring and waxing are very different. The sugaring paste is applied in the opposite direction of the hair growth and removed with it, whereas waxing is applied with the direction of the hair and removed against it. Traditional waxing uses either muslin strips or hardens on the skin before removing it. Wax removal can often be hot and harsh to result in burned skin or hair breakage. When the hair breaks under the skin’s surface, the hair that grows in thereafter gets trapped, causing an ingrown hair that can lead to pain and infection. Another difference between body sugaring and waxing is that the sugar only adheres to the hair follicle or dead skin cells and never to live skin cells. Commonly used wax substances, (because they contain resins) stick to live skin cells, causing not only pain with removal, but can lift the live skin! This results in a burn, usually scabbing over—definitely not a pretty result! The sugar paste on the other hand, never adheres to live skin, only to dead skin cells. The mixture permeates deep into the hair follicle, effectively removing the hair and the inner root sheath (the white, waxy bulb you find at the end of your hair shaft). This removal is a gentle and effective exfoliating treatment that leaves your skin silky, sweet and smooth after the process. Sugaring is excellent for sensitive skin types. |
