Sugaring: features, advantages, results

Sugaring of the face

Women may encounter such a problem as the appearance of facial hair. It is not recommended to use the machine on the face, as all subsequent hairs will grow thicker. To get rid of facial hair, hair removal in the form of sugaring is used.

There is no pain when removing facial hair using sugaring. The removal principle is similar to the bikini area and armpit area. It is prohibited to visit solariums after body hair has been removed, as this can lead to the development of unwanted pigmentation and burns.

How to prepare for sugaring

The depilation method is simple. Sugar paste is applied to the hair and hardens. After a few seconds, it is torn off along with the hairs. Sugaring will be especially effective if you follow a number of rules.

• Before visiting the salon, take care of a hygienic shower. Do not use washcloths or rough abrasives on the day of depilation.
• Check the size of the hairs. The master will not be able to depilate hairs that are too short, and the cosmetologist will have to tinker with long hairs, cutting off the excess with scissors.
• The length of the hairs should be 4 millimeters, no less! Sugaring is not suitable for removing hairs of 1-2 millimeters; the paste will not be able to grab and pull them out.
• Before sugaring, limit sun exposure. Do not visit a solarium or apply self-tanning. Postpone the wrapping procedure to another day.
• A week before visiting the cosmetologist's office, stop plucking and pulling out hairs.
• If you are allergic to sugar (cane or white) and citric acid, then it is better to choose a different hair removal method.
• Two days before going to the salon, scrub those areas of the skin that will be depilated. This is necessary in order to avoid inflammation after sugaring and prevent ingrown hairs. If the scrub is not suitable, cleanse the skin with a gentle gommage.
• Do not apply creams or lotions to your skin on the day of sugaring. For sugaring, the skin must be clean and always dry. To degrease the skin, baby powder and talc are used.
• Prepare yourself mentally for the procedure. Don't be shy master. Imagine the end result - smooth skin, beautiful hair and a well-groomed appearance in the bikini area.
• The temperature of the sugar and the room should be very warm. Usually the exact number is indicated on the jar of paste.
• A master cosmetologist must have experience working with the product, otherwise nothing will work.
• Do not attempt to remove hair yourself. In the intimate area, all hairs grow in different directions. They need to be depilated only as they grow, which is simply impossible to do on your own, since not all areas are clearly visible.
• Check with your cosmetologist if he works with clients during “critical days.” By finding out this intimate moment in advance, you will avoid any mishaps that may happen during the procedure.

What is sugaring and the benefits of the procedure

This type of hair removal gets its name from the word “sugar”, which means “sugar” in English.

The essence of the procedure is to remove hair using a sugar-based paste.

It is a viscous and sticky caramel of varying consistency - from semi-liquid to solid. You can make this cosmetic mixture yourself or purchase it in a store. If we compare sugaring with other methods of hair removal, its use is more advantageous: the skin remains perfectly smooth for one to two weeks, and the simple process can be carried out at home.

Although this type of hair removal has recently begun to gain popularity in the modern world, its history goes back to Ancient Egypt. Persian women actively used it to look more well-groomed and attractive, which is why it is also called Persian hair removal. The main Egyptian beauties - Cleopatra and Nefertiti - actively used this method to look brilliant and attract everyone's attention.

This hair removal technique has several advantages:

• Natural and hypoallergenic sugar mixture for the procedure.
• Comfort and relative painlessness of hair removal, absence of microdamage to the skin, is an excellent choice for women with sensitive skin.
• Gentle skin care (when applied to the skin, sugar paste softens it and penetrates better, and with the removal of hair it also removes the dead layer of epithelium).
• Long-lasting effect - the skin remains silky for an average of 2 weeks.
• Ease of hair removal even in prominent areas - the bikini area and armpits.
• Since hair is removed in the direction of growth, there are no cases of ingrown hairs after the procedure.
• Minimal number of contraindications.
• Cost-effectiveness and the ability to perform the procedure at home (the main ingredients of caramel - sugar and lemon - cost pennies compared to other cosmetic products for hair removal).
• Constant use of sugaring slows down hair growth and significantly thins it.

The frequency of the procedure for removing unwanted hair depends on the speed of its growth. Since the effect of smooth skin lasts, as a rule, 2-4 weeks, at the stage of getting acquainted with sugar hair removal it is enough to remove hair once every 3 weeks or a month (their length should be at least 2 mm). Over time, the vegetation will no longer be so noticeable, and its growth will slow down, so each girl builds her own frequency of the procedure. Regular sugaring does not harm the skin at all, but on the contrary, provides it with complete peeling.

3. Soon the consistency will begin to change color, acquiring a golden hue. As soon as the mixture changes color, place a drop of the paste in cold water. The caramel is ready if it does not spread when placed in cold water.
4. If the caramel does not spread, then you can add citric acid to the mixture. After adding the lemon, remove the mixture from the heat, but continue stirring for 5-10 minutes.
5. The resulting caramel should be left to cool to a temperature of 40 degrees, and then begin to use.

It is important to know! When preparing sugaring, it is important to ensure that the mixture does not burn, for which you should stir it constantly.

The duration of cooking depends on the volume of ingredients used, so often 10 kg of sugar needs to be cooked for 40 minutes. The prepared caramel should be stored in a dark place and heated in a water bath before use. Immediately after preparing this product, it is recommended to wash the pan.
