While sugar may be similar to waxing, there are plenty of benefits that make it stand out:
It is completely natural. “With a formula of only sugar, water and lemon, it is 100% biodegradable and better for the planet,” says Blake.
It’s less painful. “Because the sugar paste is applied at a lower temperature than wax and hair is removed in the direction of growth, the skin is less prone to irritation and redness,” says Blake. “The client will still feel a slight stinging from the root of the hair being removed from the small pores, but there is no lingering burning sensation that leaves behind the wax as powdered sugar doesn’t have the resin to cling to raw skin like wax. . take dead skin and hair.”
You will have less ingrown hairs. “This technique pulls the hair out in the same direction as its growth smoothly,” explains Rodney.
It’s gentle. Thus, sugar can also be applied multiple times to the same spot in the same session, adds Rodney.
It exfoliates dead skin cells. You also get the same benefit from waxing. Rodney says sugar helps unclog pores and remove excess residue from hair follicles.
