What sugaring is
Sugaring is a method of hair removal using natural sugar paste. The paste is applied to the skin and removed together with the hairs in the direction of their growth, which makes the procedure gentler than wax. Sugar paste consists of simple ingredients, so it suits even sensitive skin well. The hairs are removed with the root, thanks to which the skin stays smooth for several weeks. Over time, with regular procedures, the hair becomes thinner, lighter and sparser. At the Diva salon sugaring is performed by experienced masters with hygiene and sterility observed.
Sugaring zones
Sugaring suits almost any zones of the body and face. Most often hair removal is done on the legs fully or up to the knee, as well as the arms. The bikini zone is very popular, where sugar paste is especially appropriate thanks to its gentleness. Facial sugaring helps remove unwanted hair above the lip or on the chin. Hair removal of the abdomen and back is also done, including for men. Read more about each zone and prices on the relevant pages of the section.
The advantages of sugaring over other methods
Sugaring has noticeable advantages compared with shaving and wax. Unlike shaving, it removes the hairs with the root, so smoothness lasts much longer and the hair does not become coarser. Compared with hot wax, sugar paste is applied warm, which reduces the risk of burns and irritation. Removal in the direction of hair growth reduces the number of ingrown hairs. Thanks to its natural composition the method suits even sensitive skin. With regular procedures the hair gradually becomes thinner and sparser.
How the procedure goes and preparation
Before the procedure it is important that the hairs grow back to about a few millimeters for good grip by the paste. The master cleanses the skin and, if needed, treats it with a preparatory product. Then the sugar paste is applied to the area and removed together with the hairs, moving across the zones. After finishing, the skin is soothed with care products to relieve redness. The procedure lasts depending on the zone, from a few minutes for the face to a longer time for the legs. The master will give recommendations on care after hair removal.
How often to do sugaring
The frequency depends on the speed of hair growth and the zone. On average sugaring is done once every three to four weeks, when the hairs grow back to the needed length. At the beginning the procedures may be needed more often, but over time the intervals increase. With regular care the hair becomes thinner and the need for hair removal decreases. Between procedures you should not shave the zone in order to keep the effect. The optimal schedule will be suggested by the master taking into account your zone.
Contraindications
Despite its gentleness, sugaring has limitations. It is not done with damage, inflammation, rashes or skin diseases in the hair removal area. Limitations are diabetes in some cases, a tendency to strong irritation and an allergy to the paste ingredients. Caution is taken with zones that have moles and varicose veins. During pregnancy the procedure is done taking into account well-being. In case of doubt it is worth consulting a specialist in advance. The master will ask about possible restrictions before the procedure.
