Sugaring hair removal is gaining a lot of popularity as a gentler, more natural hair removal method. But, as with all trends, it’s a good idea to fully evaluate a practice before determining that it’s all that it’s hyped up to be. Today, we’re going to learn about the truth behind sugaring hair removal.
Sugaring hair removal is an alternative hair removal method to the traditional waxing and/or shaving that you’re familiar with. Sugaring is an ancient practice that can be traced back to Egyptian and other Middle Eastern cultures.
Sugaring is a popular alternative for home hair removal because it utilizes natural ingredients and is both environmentally friendly, as well as economical. Additionally, sugaring is said to be good for your skin because it doesn’t introduce foreign or unpronounceable chemicals to your body.
Sugaring hair removal in the modern day works by applying a mixture of water, sugar and lemon to the skin, allowing it to sit, and removing it. While it’s applied in a way that’s very similar to waxing, sugaring differs since it pulls only hair away and leaves healthy skin cells unaffected.
Because sugaring gently removes hair and doesn’t irritate skin, it is safe for individuals who are suffering from challenging skin issues, like psoriasis or eczema. It’s even safe for treating areas with spider and varicose veins.
Sugaring also differs from treatments like wax because it can be removed in the same direction as the hair growth, rather than against it to help it be even less painful. And because the ingredients used in a sugaring solution are natural, they’re easily washed completely away when the treatment is over.
Hair removal professionals and their happy patients agree: sugaring is worth the hype. Sugaring is a very effective at-home hair removal method – and far less painful and inconvenient than its alternative methods, to boot.
Hair that’s been removed via sugaring grows back more slowly and softer than hair that’s removed more painfully thorough shaving or conventional waxing. And even once hair grows back after a sugaring treatment, it’s less uncomfortable and obnoxious to deal with than waxing at home.
