"Is it just like waxing in a salon?"
Well...yes and no.
There are similarities, yes. But that's where it ends.
There are so many DIFFERENCES that I can not say that sugaring is
"just like waxing in a salon".
Here's a comparison chart: (Click to Enlarge)
Facts |
Sugaring Wax / Gel |
| Temperature | Just melted |
| Thickness | Applied very thinly over large area |
| Application | With a wooden spatula, butter knife Or applicator provided |
| Direction of Application | Against natural growth direction |
| Direction of Removal | With the natural growth direction |
| Method of Removal | With plastic, cloth or paper strips (I provide 2 denim strips) |
| Hair Thickness | Thin/Dark/Light |
| Goal | Temporary lasting up to three to four weeks |
| Hair Length | Trim if longer than 1/4" |
| Ingredients | Organic cane sugar fresh organic lemon juice Mountain Spring Water No chemicals or resins |
• Warm your sugaring wax ever so slightly, preferably, in a bowl of hot water until the wax has the consistency of syrup or honey*
Remember it should be somewhat warm, but NEVER hot! • Always start with clean, exfoliated and dry skin**
• Apply a thin layer of cornstarch provided (or baby powder).
• Using the applicator provided spread a thin layer of the sugaring wax in the OPPOSITE direction of hair growth in the desired area.
• Apply a denim strip.
•While holding the skin taut, rub the denim piece back and forth creating heat friction. This action ensures the sugaring wax can soak into your pores, coating hair follicles.
• QUICKLY remove the strip pulling in the SAME direction of the hair growth.
*Note: You can use a microwave in 10-second intervals not to exceed 30 seconds.
**It is highly recommended that you exfoliate your skin gently before sugaring.
See? Similar to waxing at a salon, but I would say, well for lack of better words, OPPOSITE! AND naturally gentle.
