Sugaring
As an ancient hair-removal practice, Sugaring is an all natural
method of removing unwanted hair. Sugaring is originated in Egypt at
least three centuries ago. It gaining popularity today because the
effects are similar to waxing. The process is so simple, salon quality
results can be achieved at home with very little practice. The sugaring
method is similar to the waxing method, however since the sugaring
compound adheres only to the hair and not the skin, as wax does, there
is less discomfort.
Sugaring falls into the category
of epilation. This means that the hair is removed by its roots, below
the skin's surface. This is one of the reasons sugaring is preferable
to shaving. Because the hair is removed below the skin's surface, it is
not uncommon for one application to last four to six weeks.
Achieving great results with sugaring is remarkably easy! Here's how it's done:
- First, the hair to be removed must be allowed to grow to a minimum of 1/8 of an inch in length for the process to work well.
- The sugaring compound is warmed, not heated, about 10 seconds in a microwave.
- Then, a very thin layer of the compound is spread over the skin.
- Next a strip of cotton or muslin cloth is placed over the sugaring compound.
-
In one swift motion the cloth is pulled off, in the opposite direction
of the hair growth. Contrary to popular belief, this does not hurt. The
cloth strips can easily be rinsed clean, dried and used again.
- Lotion is applied to the skin after the area is cleaned.
Sugaring is a fast, effective and long lasting method of hair removal. It is also very safe, since no harsh chemicals are used.
