Sugaring is the next best hair removal trend. Like waxing, sugaring pulls the hair from the root. Unlike waxing products, however, sugaring is 100% natural. In fact, most sugaring products only contain lemon juice, sugar and water. This makes sugaring products suitable for all skin types but especially good for those with sensitive skin as there is less risk of irritation or skin inflammation!
How does it work? It gently removes hair right from the follicle by wrapping around the shaft of the hairs without sticking to the skin. Sugaring results are long-lasting, and increase after each time the procedure is carried out. Do it yourself at home or do some research and see if here are any salons in your local area that offer sugaring services.
