Part of self-care for every woman is the removal of excess hair on the legs and other parts of the body. There are many ways to achieve good results. This includes depilation with sugar, or shugaring. The procedure is not difficult, and it is quite possible to carry out at home. And now we will find out how to do it right.
Shugaring has been known to women since ancient times. There is an opinion that with its help Cleopatra herself removed hairs on her body. Be that as it may, to this day the procedure is quite popular, and this is not surprising, because it requires only natural ingredients that are in every home. Also, waxing with sugar is less painful than many other methods.
It is worth paying attention to the fact that shugaring only removes visible hairs, i.e. does not affect the bulbs located under the skin. Therefore, you should not count on a long-term preservation of the result, so sugar depilation shouldcarried out as needed.
How to prepare the composition
The active substance, with which the hairs are removed, is the sugar mass. To cook it, you need to do the following:
Pour 10 tbsp. sugar, send 5 tbsp there too. lemon juice and 1 tbsp. water. Put the mass on the fire and cook until it becomes thick and golden
Sugar hair removal at home
So, before you start removing hairs, you need to prepare the skin. To do this, it must be degreased, for example, simply washed with ordinary toilet soap. We wait until the skin dries, and then, if desired, sprinkle lightly with talcum powder so that the sugar mass does not stick.
Pay attention to the fact that you need to use only warm sugar mass, but not hot, otherwise you can get burned. Now we do the following: we take a small amount of sugar mass, knead it in our hands and apply it against hair growth. Then we put a clean strip on top of the mass (you can buy special ones for depilation) and tear it off sharply. Together with it, all hairs should be removed. Sugar depilation is good because it removes even the shortest hairs. True, there is one "but"!
If you are doing such depilation for the first time, and before that you just shaved your hair, then you need to wait until it grows well. They are usually rough, so they may not lend themselves to sugaring.
After the depilation inat home, sugar will be over, wash off the rest of the mass and moisturize the skin. I would like to note that sugaring allows not only to get rid of hairs, but also to cleanse the skin of dead cells. You will notice how your skin becomes smooth and silky. Well, so that it does not dry out, be sure to apply a nourishing cream or caring body lotion to it.
Sugar waxing is somewhat painful. But the pain is tolerable, and will only make itself felt when you rip off the strip. In short, the procedure deserves that you try it out and decide for yourself whether it suits you or not.
