Shugaring is a direct proof that sweet is also useful

Generally speaking, the remedy is far from new. They say he is not one thousand years old, they just forgot about him, but now they remembered. And every day the army of fans of this method is growing.

As you can guess from the name (English sugar is sugar), shugaring is something related to sugar. The principle of action is similar to wax epilation. To the skin is applied a dense sticky mass, the hairs reliably adhere to it, and then the mass is quickly removed from the surface of the skin along with the hairs. Only in this case, not wax, but a viscous composition of molten sugar is used.

How does this sugar shugaring do?

Hair removal procedure

Some salons promise to remove hair of any length, but it is better to wait until they grow to about 2 mm.

Hair removal occurs in the following stages:

1. Skin degreasing (lotion, talcum powder).
2. Application of the composition against hair growth. In the salons a special paste for shugaring is used. Most brands offer an absolutely natural product without fragrances and dyes. For home hair removal, the paste can be bought in the store or prepared by yourself.
3. Remove the paste layer with a sharp movement along with the hairs. In this case, you can repeat the procedure several times on the same area of the skin to achieve ideal smoothness. Irritation and other negative consequences this will not cause. The paste is removed by the growth of the hair, without traumatizing the follicles.
4. Flushing of the skin with warm water.
5. Application of moisturizing cream. Sometimes before this the skin is treated with special compounds that slow down the growth of hair.

During the day after the procedure, it is not recommended to sunbathe, visit the swimming pool, solarium and sauna.

They say that with time, the hairs weaken, become thinner, and their number decreases. Not always, but some luck.

Advantages of slugging

1. Use only natural ingredients.
2. The ability to use the most delicate areas (bikini, armpits, nadgubnaya zone). Naturally, those who are thinking about whether to try or not, torment the question: "Shugaring - it hurts?". Of course, assurances that sugar hair removal, unlike wax, painless - is not true (although there is an opinion that sugar still brings less pain than wax). The first time it will hurt. But it is tolerable, otherwise no one would use this method. Each time the procedure will be easier. Remember how for the first time in life plucked eyebrows. Perhaps you already forgot that it was painful. Of course, everyone has a different threshold of sensitivity. It happens that a girl can only endure shaving and a depilation cream, but this is a special case.
3. When used correctly, the probability of ingrown ingrown hair tends to zero.
4. Can be used for varicose veins. There is no additional heating (enough heat of the skin), so this hair removal does not provoke the formation of vascular asterisks.
5. Remains of the composition are easily washed off with water. Those who have ever done wax epilation will understand what they are talking about.
6. Due to the removal of hair in small areas and frequent movements, the skin does not stretch, so shugaring is suitable for flabby skin.
7. The procedure does not cause swelling, redness, irritation.
8. You can do it yourself at home, which saves a lot of money.

Contraindications

As any cosmetic procedure, shugaring for physiological reasons is not available to everyone. Do not use this method of hair removal if:

1. At the moment, the skin has a rash, irritation, purulent and inflammatory processes.
2. You are intolerant of the individual components.
3. You suffer from diabetes mellitus

Composition of homemade pasta for shugaring

It is not always possible to prepare the composition the first time. This case is subtle and relatively long. Sugar burns easily, the mixture can get too liquid or too hard. But everything comes with experience. But at once it is possible to weld such quantity of structure which will suffice for some months.

There are many recipes, but it can happen that you have to experiment with proportions yourself, creating a composition that is suitable for your hair structure.

Recipe 1. If you need a lot of mass

If you want to cook a lot, take 1 kg of sugar, 7 tbsp. L. Lemon juice and 8 tbsp. L. water. Mix it. Heat on high heat for several minutes, then reduce heat, stir, cover and cook for 40 minutes. Every 8-10 minutes, open the lid and mix the contents thoroughly. After this time, the sugar should completely melt and begin to bubble. Remove the lid and cook the mixture for another 5 minutes without covering it. Then pour into a container (preferably plastic), in which the composition will be stored.

After 3 hours, the mass will cool sufficiently, and it can be used.

You can store the cooked pastry in a refrigerator or at room temperature. When reusing it, you just need to warm it up in a water bath.

Recipe 2. At a time

10 tbsp. L. Sugar, juice of half a lemon, 1 tbsp. L. water. Cook until golden-yellow color 10-15 minutes.

For use, a small ball is picked off, carefully kneaded in the hands until it becomes soft and viscous and does not acquire a milky color. Then it is slightly stretched, superimposed on the skin against the growth of hair and tightly pressed. Now it needs to be cut as quickly and sharper as possible in the direction of hair growth. The procedure is repeated until all of the hairs on the site have been removed. Remains of the composition are washed off with warm water, and the skin is applied to the cream.

Tip

Pasta for hair removal in the bikini zone is best prepared without lemon juice with honey.

I recall that the proportions of the components can be slightly changed.

At first glance, it may seem that shugaring is a very laborious method. But after all, everyone chooses for themselves. Everywhere there are drawbacks. Hair removal using a depilator, for example, takes a lot of time, in addition, after each use it is required to clean the device. Shaving though is the fastest and easiest method, but also it is necessary to do it more often, thus infinitely buying shaving creams and changing the cassettes on the machine. It is worth trying everything to choose the best option.

Thus, shugaring is one of the convenient and affordable methods of epilation, which can be carried out both in the salon and at home.
