Sugar Drops

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SUGARING

A TECHNIQUE AS OLD AS TIME

Body sugaring is an ancient art of hair removal using a completely natural paste made from lemon, citric acid and water. It’s so organic, it can be used on all skin types, especially sensitive skin.

Unlike waxing, sugaring has properties that help with the overall health and appearance of the skin and most importantly, hurts less than waxing due to the fact that it’s only sticking to and pulling on the hair, whereas waxing sticks to both skin and hair, thus traumatizing the surface of the skin and providing a not so pleasant hair removal experience.

THE SUGARING METHOD CAN BE DONE IN TWO DIFFERENT WAYS:

METHOD ONE

The paste is molded onto your skin against the direction of the hair growth, then quickly flicked off, removing the sugar paste, extracting your unwanted hair, and collecting dead skin cells.

METHOD TWO

A spatula is used to apply the paste in the direction of hair growth and then removed with a cloth strip. This method is best for clients who may not be comfortable with the hand method.

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY APPOINTMENT?

GET SUGAR READY

Your hair should be at least the length of a grain of rice, to allow the sugar to grip around the hair. If it is your first time sugaring, then we recommend you refrain from shaving for at least two weeks before your appointment. After your first sugar, it is recommended to be done every four to six weeks, then go home and throw your razors away, because you’ll never have to shave again.

RELAX, GORGEOUS.

The pain that sometimes gets associated with sugaring is mostly caused by the anxiety and tension a person feels while on the sugaring bed. The more relaxed you are, the less painful the experience will be. View your sugaring experience as a bit of pampering that results in luxuriously smooth skin.
