Sugar, Sugar

Emily introduces the Sugaring Hair Removal Technique, and discusses the benefits with a demo clip.

Top 8 reasons to sugar: 

  1. Pure and Natural Ingredients:
    completely natural - made from sugar, lemon and guar gum. It's so pure it's safe enough to eat, and is even safe to use on sensitive skin. --wax contains resins, bees wax and other chemicals.

  2. More Sanitary:
    hypoallergenic and noncomedogenic: sugar paste is applied with a gloved hand, and a fresh ball of sugar paste is used for each client, meaning no risk of cross contamination. --wax: bacteria easily breeds in the wax pot. A wood spatula is repeatedly dipped in the same wax pot that is used from client to client.

  3. Less Painful:
    sugar will not stick to live skin cells, only the dead skin cells are removed, so there is less risk of abrasions/tearing and generally less redness than waxing. --wax: adheres to live skin cells and when removed it will pull the skin increasing the risk of tearing and redness.

  4. Not Hot:
    sugar paste is lukewarm when it is applied, so there ís no risk of burning the skin. -wax: resin waxes are heated to high temperatures to keep them fluid, so burning is a risk.

  5. Better Technique:
    sugar paste is applied against the natural direction of hair growth, then removed in the direction of growth... resulting in less painful hair removal and less hair breakage. --wax: applied in the direction of hair growth and removed against the natural direction of hair growth. Frequently results in breakage of hair at the follicle, which can lead to ingrown hairs and unsightly bumps.

  6. Extract Very Short Hairs:
    hair growth need only be 1/8 inch long to be removed (about 7 days growth). --wax: need at least 2-3 weeks growth before the hair can be removed.

  7. Sugaring is Gentle:
    sugaring is so gentle it can be used to remove the vellus hair that grows on some women's faces (something that cannot be done with waxing).

  8. Easy Clean Up:
    sugar paste dissolves easily in water and there's no sticky residue left on your skin. --wax: requires the use of chemical solvents to remove.
