SUGARING

Sugaring, like waxing is a non-permanent form of hair removal for body hair. It is actually an ancient technique that has been used for much longer than waxing.

Unlike wax which is generally made up of a synthetic formula applied either hot or cold using sticks and strips, sugaring uses a sugar paste substance made up entirely of natural ingredients including sugar, water and lemon juice (or apple cider vinegar). It is essentially like caramel which is spread on clean skin in the opposite direction of the hair and then pulled in the same direction of the hair growth i.e. the ideal way to remove hair. This is different from wax which is pulled in the opposite direction of hair growth.

Unlike wax which oftentimes requires strips and sticks, sugaring can be applied directly to the skin with the hand. This makes it much less wasteful than traditional wax. Like wax, sugaring is typically done every 4-6 weeks depending on hair growth cycle. It can also be done on any body areas including legs, underarms and bikini.
