Sugaring, the ancient Egyptian method of hair removal using
natural products, is a popular alternative to waxing and shaving.
|
| DID YOU KNOW? |
Sugaring is less painful than waxing.
The sugar paste is applied warm - not hot like a lot of waxes.
|
|
Sugaring is more effective than shaving.
Think of your hair as a lawn - shaving, like mowing, simply cuts the growth back and encourages the hair to grow, stronger.
|
Sugaring removes the hair from the roots.
Any hair re-growth is finer and easier to remove the next time round.
An added benefit is no stubble - so no more itchy, irritated, skin!
|
|
| WHAT PART OF THE BODY CAN BE SUGARED? |
| Most parts of the body can be sugared. |
| Shoulders and backs are the most popular areas, followed by chest, arms and legs.
|
|
| IS HAIR PERMANENTLY REMOVED? |
| Over a period of time, possibly. |
| Sugaring (like waxing) removes the hair by the root. If the area is sugared regularly the hair does not have time to re-establish strong growth; is finer and lighter; and is easier to remove.
|
|
| WHO CAN BE SUGARED? |
| Anyone! |
| People of all ages and from every walk of life have been sugared. |
| Even people with sensitive skin. |
|
As well as removing hair, sugaring strips away dry and dead skin cells, leaving the skin soft and smooth - which
can help improve dry skin conditions.
|
|
If you dislike body hair, then sugaring is for you.
|
|
If you are a sports person, sugaring is ideal:
|
- Athletes/Runners: Less sweaty back and shoulders.
- Body Builders/Boxers/Wrestlers: Sugaring helps to enhance body definition.
- Cyclists/Runners: Less chance of infection to cuts and grazes, as wounds are easier to clean and protect.
- Cyclists/Swimmers: Reduced body hair improves aerodynamics, thereby helping to improve speed.
|
|
| DOES SUGARING HURT? |
| This is a frequently asked question, and the answer is No, not if the sugar paste is removed correctly. |
| Obviously people have different pain thresholds and certain body parts are more sensitive than others. |
| Sugaring is far less painful than removing a plaster from a hairy arm. |
| The sugar paste sticks to the hair not the skin, which results in the hair being removed without bruising the skin.
|
|
| HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO BE SUGARED? |
| Hair grows at different speeds on each person, on each part of the body, depending on the time of year. |
