Sugaring
What is Sugaring?
Sugaring is a form of hair removal that removes hair from the root, causing to grow in finer, lighter and slower. It is done with an organic sugar paste made of only 3 ingredients- sugar, lemon, and water.
Sugaring at Skintuition
At Skintuition, we do a strip sugar method. We apply the sugar paste to the area with sticks and remove with a strip. This strip sugar method is similar to waxing, but for certain individuals who have sensitivity to waxing, it is a great alternative. All of our ‘Sugarists’ are experienced licensed Estheticians! Our facilities are clean, modern, and soothing. Your sugaring appointment will take place in a private room with a friendly and experienced Sugarist!
Before you Sugar
Before your sugaring appointment, you will have to grow your hair out to at least 1/4” long. If you have been shaving, stop for at least 2 weeks. If you have been waxing, you can set up your first sugar appointment 3-4 weeks after your last wax appointment. Avoid applying lotions and oils to the area the day of your appointment.
Steps of the Sugaring Process
Your Sugarist will have you change for your appointment in your private room, and give you a drape sheet for comfort. Next, she will apply powder to the area to be sugared. She will then apply the sugar paste to the area and then quickly pull it off removing the unwanted hair with it. Any residue left over from the sugaring will be simply wiped away with water!
After your Sugar
Your hair follicles will be open for up to 24 hours after sugaring and during this time, you will want to avoid hot tubs, swimming pools, and rigorous exercise to minimize sweating and skin irritation. Your skin may also be a little more sensitive this day. If your skin feels extremely irritated or is painful to the touch after the first day, be sure to give us a call and let us know so that we will be able to assist you.
