Sugaring vs Waxing
Take the #SugaWaxChallenge! This service is a hybrid hair removal technique using sugaring and hard wax. We will let you decide if you are Team Sugar or Team Wax.
Sugaring vs Waxing is a question you would have asked if you are someone who loves summer skin. While Waxing and sugaring are often grouped together, as popular hair removal methods that have a longer effect on the skin than shaving, there are peculiar differences between both methods of hair removal.
Sugaring is a hair removal technique that uses an all-natural paste to pull off body hair. Sugaring looks like waxing. However, it is gentler on the skin and it consists of sugar, lemon juice, water, and glycerin.
It is a genuinely safe and organic alternative to conventional waxing.
Benefits of Sugaring:
🍯 Not as painful as waxing, but one may feel a little pain depending on each individual’s threshold of handling pain
🍯 It’s all-natural (This is great for people who may have allergies to certain ingredients or just prefer purely natural ingredients on their body)
🍯 Sugaring more often helps the hairs on your body grow thinner and it makes your next session easier and less painful
🍯 It is great for sensitive skin
Waxing is the removal of hair from the root by carefully pressing a sticky substance to cover the body hair, and then removing this covering while intentionally pulling out the hair from the follicle.
Benefits of Waxing:
🍯 It effectively removes hair from the root
🍯 It is a better option for thicker body hairs compared to sugaring
It leaves the body clean and really smooth
🍯 It is a fast and efficient method of hair removal
Sugaring and waxing might not be advisable for everyone, and there are several limitations to consider.
Pre-Treatment Recommendations:
- Let hair grow at least 1/4 of an inch, about the length of a grain of rice. The esthetician may suggest coming back a week or two after your initial waxing treatment as hair grows in different stages. Please understand that if hair is left behind it is because the hair is at a different stage.
- We advise clients who use dermatological prescriptions such as Retin-A, Renova, Differin or Accutane not to get waxing treatments as the skin becomes weakened and cause the skin to tear when waxed. Please advise your physician.
- Women who are pregnant or are about to begin their menstrual cycle must be aware that waxing treatments will feel more painful because blood flow increases and hormones make hair coarser increasing the chances of hair breaking off.
- Moles, skin tags and bruises will be avoided.
- Wait at least 24 hours after a tanning booth service.
- Wait at least 24 to 48 hours after shaving to get a waxing treatment.
- Wait at least 1 week after a chemical peel or microdermabrasion treatment.
- Optional: You can take over-the-counter pain relievers approximately 30 minutes before your waxing treatment to minimize pain.
- Having an exfoliation regimen will benefit your waxing services as well prevent unwanted ingrown hairs. We suggest exfoliating before your waxing service(s).
Post-Treatment Recommendations:
- Take a cool shower 6 to 8 hours after your waxing treatment.
- Avoid applying any products on the skin for 6 to 24 hours depending on the type of waxing treatment.
- No activities that will cause you to perspire like going to the gym or sexual activity for 24 hours.
- No applications of deodorant after an underarm waxing treatment for 24 hours.
- No hot tubs, hot showers/baths, or saunas for 24-48 hours.
- No Heated or chlorinated pools for 24-48 hours.
- No Swimming in salt water for 24-48 hours.
- Apply Sunscreen and avoid sun exposure for 48 hours.
