Sugaring Hair Removal

Posted on November 10, 2007 in Temporary Hair Removal

Sugaring is a very old method of hair-removal. It is a safe process as all the ingredients used are natural and it is devoid of harsh chemicals.

In sugaring, sugar is slightly warmed, causing less skin irritation. The sugaring paste is spread thinly on the skin in the direction of the hair growth. Cotton strips are then pressed firmly onto the paste and then removed which pulls the hair leaving the skin smooth. The sugar tends to stick only to the hairs, not to the skin, causing less discomfort.

Sugaring is done on eyebrows, upper lip, underarms, legs, arms and stomach. But for men sugaring cannot be done on the beard due to a different hair root system.

The result of sugaring hair removal lasts for 4 to 6 weeks depending on the level of hair growth. In this process hair is removed from the root. Repeated sugaring treatments tend to weaken the hair so it becomes easier over time.

A slight sting similar to ripping a sticky tape from the skin is experienced after sugaring. The skin may turn into reddish for a while, but this usually disappears within 24 hours.
