Sugaring Is a Godsend for Sensitive Skin

Sugar paste contains no chemicals or resins, it is hypoallergenic and safe for all skin types. It’s also completely sanitary, as bacteria cannot thrive in the sugar paste. Diabetics, those with eczema, spider or varicose veins and those prone to breakouts and ingrown hairs after waxing will benefit from sugaring.

Smoother Extraction and Less Breakage

Unlike waxing, sugaring removes hair in its natural direction of growth, which helps minimize hair breakage, ingrown hairs, and irritation. Plus, the sugar formula seeps into the follicle and helps lubricate the hair root before it’s pulled out, making it easier to extract. For many people, these factors make sugaring less painful than waxing.

Shorter Wait Time Between

Sessions

This might very well be the best part of sugaring. Hair can be removed at less than one-eighth of an inch (approximately two to three days of hair growth, depending on the person) as opposed to waxing which requires one-fourth-inch re-growth.

Won’t Burn

Your Skin

Sugar paste works with the heat of your skin, not the other way around,. There is never a risk in burning, marking or having a product at the wrong temperature for the skin. Additionally, sugar goop never adheres to live skin cells. 

Potential for Less Hair—Permanently

For many people, the more regularly you sugar at that one-eighth-inch length, the less hair you’ll have in general. When hair is removed during the first stage of growth, called the anagen phase, the process begins eliminating parts of the hair follicle, causing it to collapse and rendering it incapable of producing hair as thick—or ever again.

No Sticky Residue

Traditional waxing sometimes leave your skin feeling sticky. This is especially uncomfortable if you get a bikini or Brazilian wax (who wants their bikini bottom getting stuck inside places?). The sugar mixture is water soluble, so it can be easily rinsed away with good old H2O.
