Sugaring Paste | Sugar Wax – Soft

The longevity of a jar of sugaring paste can vary depending on individual use, but it generally lasts about 3 to 6 months for most people. This estimate assumes consistent usage for areas like the legs, underarms and bikini area, but it will vary based on how much you apply, the number of areas you are treating, the consistency of the paste you are using, and your hair growth cycle. If you are using it only for smaller areas, you may find that it lasts even longer.

For reference, if you were only treating one body area, here's an estimate of the number of sessions you could get:

Mustache - 60-70 Sessions

Underarms - 16-20 Sessions

Half Arms - 8-12 Sessions

Full Arms - 4-8 Sessions

Bikini Line - 16-20 Sessions

Brazilian - 8-12 Sessions

Half Legs - 8-12 Sessions

Full Legs - 4-8 Sessions

Full Body - 2-3 Sessions

• Use the Right Sugar Paste:

Choose the correct consistency for your hair type - firm for coarse hair, medium for normal, and soft for fine hair. This helps ensure hair is pulled from the root without breaking.

• Prep the Skin:

Exfoliate 24-48 hours before sugaring, cleanse the skin, and use a pre-sugaring powder to absorb moisture and create a smooth surface for the sugar paste.

• Apply and Remove Correctly:

Apply sugar against the hair growth and remove with the hair growth. Hold the skin taut to reduce breakage and discomfort.

• Trim Longer Hairs:

If hair is too long, trim down to 1/4 inch to avoid breakage.

• Aftercare:

Exfoliate regularly after sugaring to prevent ingrown hairs and moisturise to keep the skin healthy. Apply an antibacterial toner to soothe irritation and prevent infections.

By following these steps, you can minimise breakage and reduce the risk of ingrown hairs when sugaring.

Yes, sugaring paste is safe for removing pubic hair. Sugaring is a gentle method that uses natural ingredients: sugar, water and citrus, which makes it less irritating to the skin compared to other hair removal methods. However, it's essential to ensure the area is clean and dry before sugaring, and its recommended to do a patch test first, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Sugaring has several benefits:

• Natural Ingredients: Sugaring paste is made from simple, natural ingredients, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
• Eco-Friendly: Sugaring paste is made with natural, biodegradable ingredients: sugar, water, and citrus, and is completely water-soluble, making clean-up easy and waste minimal.
• Less Painful: Many find sugaring less painful than traditional waxing because the paste sticks only to dead skin cells and hair, not live skin.
• Exfoliation: Sugaring gently exfoliates the skin, removing dead skin cells and leaving the skin smooth and soft.
• Longer-Lasting Results: Sugaring removes hair from the root, which can lead to finer regrowth and less hair over time.
• Reduced Risk of Ingrown Hairs: Because hair is removed in the direction of its natural growth, sugaring reduces the chance of ingrown hairs.
• No Heat Required: Can be used at room temperature, making it safer and easier.
• Portable: No need for a dedicated space - use it wherever you're comfortable, whether it's  in your living room, bathroom, or even while travelling.

Pain tolerance varies from person to person, but many find sugaring less painful than traditional waxing. Since the paste only adheres to hair and dead skin cells, it causes less trauma to the skin. The pain typically decreases with regular sugaring sessions, as the hair grows back finer and less densely.

Results from sugaring can last anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks, depending on your growth cycle and the area being treated. With consistent sugaring, you may notice that hair grows back finer and sparser over time, which can extend the time between sessions.

Yes, sugaring can be effective on all hair types from fine to coarse. However, it works best on hair that is at least 1/8 inch long. For those with very fine hair, results may not last as long, but the process is still effective.

Sugaring is generally safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin. The natural ingredients in the paste make it less likely to cause allergic reactions or irritation. However, if you have a skin condition like eczema or psoriasis, it's advisable to consult a dermatologist before sugaring.

Yes, sugaring is generally considered safe during pregnancy, though the skin may be more sensitive due to hormonal changes. It's best to consult your medical practitioner before sugaring.

The frequency of sugaring depends on your hair growth cycle, the area being serviced, and personal preference. Most people sugar every 3-6 weeks to maintain smooth skin, as this allows enough time for the hair to grow to the ideal length of about 1/8 to 1/4 inch.

If you're new to sugaring, you may notice a shorter regrowth period at first, but over time, regular sugaring can result in finer and slower-growing hair, allowing for longer intervals between sessions.

Remember to exfoliate often to keep your skin healthy and ready for the next sugaring sessions!
