What is Sugaring?

The Art of Sugaring

Sugaring is an all-natural form of hair removal paste that consists of only food-derived ingredients like sugar, water, and fresh lemon juice. There are no chemicals, preservatives, or perfumes added. Sugaring is gentle enough for any skin type, and will remove the finest hair, including ingrown follicles, from the roots. It also gets rid of dead skin cells without damaging healthy cells.

Sugaring hair removal treatments remove short hair in the early stages of growth. Over time, your hair will grow finer and lighter in color until the hair follicle is virtually nonexistent. After a few treatments, depending on your skin type and other circumstances, you will notice the difference right away.

Please Note: you may have heard the term "sugar waxing." This is different from sugaring. Sugar waxing is chemically altered wax added to sugar paste. This hair removal process is the same as waxing, and should not be confused with organic sugaring. Below is a contrast between sugaring, waxing, and shaving.
