There are many hair removal options available today if you prefer smooth and hairless skin. And while waxing is a popular choice especially when you’re getting your hair removed at a salon, it can be extremely painful and can even cause blisters and burns if not done right. That’s where sugaring comes in.
What is sugaring?
Sugaring is an epilation method that traces its roots to as early as 1900 BC. Back then, honey was used for this hair removal style. At present, the paste is made of sugar, lemon, and water in a caramelised state.
The idea of sugaring is similar to waxing. The paste is spread onto the area where hair removal is being conducted and as the paste hardens (but is still malleable to be pulled), it’s stripped from the skin along with the hair strands.
Not only is sugaring less painful than waxing, but it’s also better recommended for those with skin sensitivities since the ingredients are organic and far less irritating than other types of wax used for hair removal.
