WHAT SUGARING IS

Excess body hair is a very common problem, but not all methods of getting rid of hair are suitable for everyone.
Sugaring is a procedure that allows you to easily, safely and most effectively remove excess body hair. It is done with sugar (or caramel) paste, which helps to forget about excess vegetation for a long time. In addition, this method of depilation was invented several thousand years ago. To date, this procedure is one of the most popular and in demand. Sugaring does not need preparation and recovery period, and thanks to the environmentally friendly composition is ideal for people suffering from allergies.

What it is for?

The procedure of epilation with caramel paste allows you to get rid of unwanted hair with high efficiency and speed. The heated composition is distributed on the skin, which envelops all the hairs and solidifies, then removes all the hairs from the skin together with the bulbs. This method also avoids the appearance of ingrowing hairs, after it you will not have irritation, and about hairs you plot to forget for the next month. Since sugaring has an “accumulative” effect, if you do it on a regular basis, then over time the hair will grow back more slowly and become shorter.

Differences between sugaring and other types of depilation

Sugaring is one of the methods of epilation, which involves damage to the hair follicle, thanks to which after the first session you will notice that the hair has lost its colour and become much thinner, and after a sufficiently large number of treatments over a long period of time hairs may not grow at all. Depilation is only a superficial getting rid of hair, which means that after depilation cream and razor, hair will start to appear in a few days, and if you shave your hands, the hair will start to grow stiffer and more pigmented, and shugaring will not cause you such problems. It also has an effect lasting up to 6 weeks, and in some cases even longer.

Among other things, depilation of hair – removing them against the growth, which means that ingrown hairs will definitely not be avoided. Sugar paste epilation is carried out on the growth of hair, and that is why it is considered one of the best procedures for removing excess vegetation.

How is sugaring made? It is best, of course, to turn to a master of his craft, but to make epilation caramel paste at home is also possible. To do this, you need to buy ready-made caramel paste in advance, or make it yourself, most often all the necessary ingredients are already at home.

Sequence of epilation:

To begin with, it is necessary to prepare the skin by degreasing it. Talcum powder will perfectly cope with this task.
Next, a small layer should be applied heated to 36-38 degrees composition, after which sharp movements to remove it from the skin.
After all these manipulations, you need to apply a soothing remedy to the skin.

What is men’s sugaring?

Stereotypes that men in any case should remain natural, and that body hair should not be removed have long been a thing of the past.

Men’s hair removal with sugar paste has rapidly gained momentum, as this procedure is as safe as possible, reduces the risk of ingrown hairs, and the effect lasts much longer than after conventional razors. Many men also have skin prone to sensitivity and irritation, and therefore shaving the face often brings discomfort. Sugaring can easily cope with this problem and save men from the need for literally daily shaving

Differences in male and female epilation really exist, and that is why the salon prices for this procedure for girls and guys may differ. Since men’s skin is denser and hair is much tougher than women’s, more effort will have to be put into the procedure. In addition, the increased level of testosterone significantly increases the rate of hair growth, and sugaring will have to be carried out more often.

Sugaring zones

There are several zones on which sugaring is performed:

BIKINI SUGARING

Bikini sugaring is divided into two types, one of which is classic. This type of epilation involves the removal of hair along the panty line and on the inside of the thighs. In simple words, only the vegetation that is visible from underwear is removed. If you want to start sugaring the bikini area, it is best to start with this option, as it is best to let the skin get used to the sensations.

DEEP BIKINI

The second type is epilation of deep, or “total” bikini. Then all hair from the groin area is removed, namely the procedure is subjected to: pubic area, groin folds, near the anus and the inner thigh. Deep bikini is one of the most difficult processes in epilation with sugar paste, namely because of the sensitivity of the skin.

SUGARING THE FACE
