4 Reasons to Get a Sugaring Treatment This Winter
You may have heard of sugaring, but you're not sure what it is or how it works. It's time to meet this alternative hair removal technique!
Sugaring is an ancient method of hair removal that has been used for centuries in Middle Eastern and North African countries. It's a paste made from sugar, lemon juice, and water that is applied to the skin and removed with a flick of the wrist. The treatment can be used on all areas of the body as it is the gentlest form of hair removal.
Here are 3 reasons you should consider getting a sugaring treatment this Winter:
1. Sugaring does not remove live skin cells only dead skin and hair. this makes it more comfortable and perfect for those who have sensitive skin.
2. Sugaring leads to less ingrown hairs due to its method of application and removal. Sugar is applied against the hair growth and removed with the natural pattern of growth. This leads to less hair breakage and less ingrown hairs.
3. Sugaring leads to permanent hair reduction. Over time as we remove the hair and damage the hair follicle and shaft the hair becomes weaker eventually cannot grow back in. People notice sparse areas withing a few months of beginning sugaring.
4. Winter is the perfect time for sugaring since you can let your hair grow out the recommended length of 1/4 inch to achieve maximum results. In winter since we are bundled up it makes it easier to do areas like legs, underarms, and bikini to get you Spring and Summer ready!
A sugaring treatment can also be exfoliating by removing dead skin cells from the top layer of your epidermis (the outermost layer of your skin) leading to brighter softer skin. This can also make tattoos appear fresh and more vibrant!
It's a gentler alternative to waxing, which uses rosin, beeswax, and other synthetic ingredients. Wax has to be heated to a sometimes-uncomfortable level since rosin has a high melting point. The sugaring process involves an all-natural paste made from sugar, lemon juice, and water to pull hair out at the follicle level.
Sugaring is great for all skin types and is safe for people with sensitive skin and skin conditions such as Eczema, Psoriasis, and dry skin.
