What is sugaring hair removal?

Using a technique which originated in Egypt, a paste made primarily of sugar is applied to the surface of the skin. The sugaring paste is then removed taking the hair along with it.

How does sugaring work?

The sugaring paste is warmed and then applied thinly to the skin in the direction of the hair growth. Reusable cotton strips are then pressed firmly onto the paste and then sharply pulled back thus removing the hair with the sugaring paste.

On what areas of the body can sugaring be used?

Practically all areas including:

eyebrows upper lip underarms legs arms stomach bikini line

Men have one exception – they cannot use sugaring on the beard due to a different hair root system.

How long before hair regrows after sugaring hair removal?

Generally sugaring hair removal lasts between 4 and 6 weeks depending on the level of hair growth. The hair is removed from the root. Repeated sugaring treatments can tend to weaken the hair so it becomes easier over time.

Some report a slight sting comparable to ripping a sticky tape from the skin. The skin may be red for a while after sugaring but this usually disappears within 24 hours.

Is sugaring hair removal safe?

Yes, the ingredients are all natural. Sugaring even has healing properties. Paste solutions which are purchased can also contain other ingredients such as citric acid and gum Arabic.

The citric acid is an astringent which can tighten the skin making hair removal easier and the gum Arabic gives a proper consistency to the paste making it easier to remove.

2. Wax is applied either hot or cold (in precoated strips) to the skin.

Facial Hair Removal Products – What Are Your Choices

Max Suther asked:


Unwanted ****** hair can be a major problem for men and especially women. There are several ways to remove ****** hair and there are many products on the market that can help. This article will discuss a few of the best ways to remove ****** hair.

Shaving – Of course this method has been used by men and women, but we don’t recommend that women shave their ****** hair. This method is only temporary and the hair grows back within a short period of time.

Tweezing – Many women use tweezers to pluck unwanted ****** hair but this method has problems. The good side of tweezing ****** hair is that it takes the root out and therefore the hair does not grow back too fast. The bad side of tweezing ****** hair is that it is painful and takes a long time to do a small area.

Waxing – Waxing is used on women’s legs and other areas but it also can be used for ****** hair. This method is just as painful as tweezing but it is faster. Normally you will only have to wax once a month. Be careful and try this method on a small section of your face to make sure you don’t have a bad reaction.

Electrolysis – This method is permanent but can be expensive and time consuming. The method basically burns the hair root and therefore the hair can’t come back. It will take several sessions to make sure all of the roots are destroyed.

Depilatories – There are several creams, lotions, and gels that remove ****** hair. These can be strong chemicals and therefore try a small section of your face first to see if it works and to make sure you don’t have a reaction to the chemicals. Laser – Laser removal is expensive and must be performed by a licensed individual. The method may not be permanent and takes several treatments. It’s advantage is that it is less painful then other methods. There are many ways to remove unwanted ****** hair and we have briefly discussed a few. There are also natural home remedies that you can try.
