Sugaring is a welcome change
I have severely sensitive skin; I need to be careful that the soaps and laundry detergent I use have no fragrances or serious chemicals.
I am prone to rashes.
If I shave too often, I end up with red bumps. I have tried waxing my legs and bikini section however it’s painful and my skin takes a while to reclaim. I can’t use Nair or hair removal creams, because it causes an allergic reaction. I visited a high end salon and spoke with an aesthetician. I wanted to shape my eyebrows however was distraught about the effects on my skin, he proposed sugaring. I had never heard of this alternative hair removal process, the sugar paste is created from sugar, lemon juice and water. It’s totally organic and even edible, however one large difference between sugaring and waxing is the direction the concoction is applied. The paste is applied with the fingertips and it’s flicked off, taking the hair out in the direction of the growth and from the root. There’s no breakage. The paste is warmed up close to body temperature and doesn’t stick to the skin, then a benefit of sugaring over waxing is that it comes off easily… With shaving, the hair is strengthened and made thicker. Shaving frequently makes the hair more hard to grab. The repetitive sugaring process causes the hair to grow thinner and makes the session less painful; Discovering sugaring has been such an improvement to my beauty regimen. I am so satisfied with how the aesthetician at the salon handles every aspect of the process.
