bay area sugaring.
A sweeter hair removal method.
Sugaring is a natural hair removal method that uses a paste made traditionally from sugar, lemon juice and water, dating all the way back to the ancient civilizations of Egypt and Mesopotamia. This method is gentle yet effective at removing hair by the root and leaving skin feeling soft and smooth.
Sugaring vs Waxing.
Sugaring offers a range of benefits that set it apart from traditional waxing, making it a preferred choice for many seeking a more eco- and skin-friendly option. Here's a closer look at the distinct advantages of sugaring compared to waxing.
Ingredients
Sugar is made from natural ingredients, while wax often contains synthetic ingredients and resins, which may lead to skin sensitivities for some clients.
Adhesion
Sugar adheres primarily to the hair rather than the skin while wax can adhere to both skin and hair, which might lead to more discomfort and potential skin damage during removal.
Temperature
Sugar is applied at body temperature while wax is heated to a much higher temperature, making it less safe to go over multiple cases and risking burns and discomfort.
Water Solubility
Sugar can easily be rinsed and cleaned up with warm water, while wax requires oils or solvents for removal which can make the cleanup process more difficult or complicated.
Direction
Sugar is removed in the same direction of hair growth while wax is removed in the opposite direction, increasing the chances of hair breakage and eventual ingrown hairs.
Skin Benefits
Sugar not only gently exfoliates the skin but also helps retain moisture in the skin due to its natural humectant properties, leaving the skin feeling smoother and more hydrated without additional products. Wax does not.
