About depilation
Shugaring technique itself has been known since ancient times. But it has only been actively used in the last few years. What exactly is the process? What is depilation in general?
This is the process of cleaning the skin from unwanted hair on the body. Depilation is accompanied by pulling out the hair from the root. This approach provides a longer and more reliable cleaning, and also prevents the appearance of ingrown hairs. This is a modern approach to body care!
In general, the shugaring technique(deep bikini and not only) - this is far from the only way of depilation. It just became popular recently in many countries. For depilation, you can use a special cream, as well as wax and sugar. Let's focus on the last option.
Shugaring
What is this anyway? As we have already figured out, the shugaring technique (at home or in the salon) is a way of depilation. But what is it based on? What exactly is it?
Shugaring is a skin treatment for hair removal with a special sugar mass, heated and cooled. It is somewhat reminiscent of wax depilation, but this option is less painful. In addition, it is safe and versatile. Can be used both in salons and at home. Easy to implement, although some preparation is still needed.
Pasta
The technique of bikini shugaring (the photo of the process is presented below) and other areas on the body boils down to the fact that the area to be treated must be covered with a special sugar paste. Just this moment plays an important role for the whole depilation.
At the moment, the mass for shugaring can be prepared independently. The recipe for this is extremely simple and does not require any supernatural components or knowledge. You only need a few minutes of free time. The cooking algorithm will be given a little later.
Also, modern cosmetics stores and pharmacies offer to buy ready-made pasta. With it, the shugaring technique becomes several times easier. So what exactlythis approach is often chosen by women. Once the mass is ready, you can proceed directly to the action.
Recipe
So, how do you prepare your own pasta for today's depilation? The technique of shugaring bikini and other areas (for example, arms, legs, face) is unthinkable, of course, without sugar. You will have to prepare just a few components that are sure to be found in the kitchen of every housewife.
What do you need for pasta? Sugar, lemon juice and water. Nothing else. For 6 teaspoons of sugar, you need 2 teaspoons of lemon juice (or acid) and the same amount of warm water. How to make a blank?
In a bowl, mix all the ingredients, and then put the mass to cook on a slow fire. Stir it constantly. As soon as the paste takes on a brown tint, slightly transparent, you can remove the workpiece from the heat. Drop a small amount of the mass into cold water - if it does not spread, you can cool what is in your bowl to room temperature. It's all. Nothing more is required of you.
Skin preparation
The deep bikini shugaring technique at home (and not only the bikini zone) after the preparation of the paste is implemented easily and simply. To begin with, as before any depilation, you must prepare the skin for the process.
Fortunately, nothing special is needed here. Rinse the treated area thoroughly and then dry. It is important that the paste is applied only to dry skin, otherwise the effectiveness of the process willquestionable. Most likely, you will not achieve any desired result.
Also note that you should not additionally lubricate the skin with different creams, especially moisturizers. All this will only harm you. Once the zone is ready, you can proceed directly to the action. The process itself is extremely simple.
Pull out
What is the deep bikini shugaring technique and more? After you have prepared the skin, take some of the sugar mass in your hands and make small balls out of it. They should be slightly warm in the palms. It is advisable not to take too large pieces.
After warming up and rolling, apply a thin layer of the paste on the skin in the opposite direction of hair growth. Wait a few seconds, then tear off the mass from the skin in the same direction with a sharp movement. And it doesn’t matter what particular area we are talking about - about the bikini zone or not. The process of applying shugaring is the same for the whole body. It may not be very convenient to apply the paste at first, but over time you will learn how to do it.
Rolling
Sometimes the shugaring technique does not allow for the direct separation of the mass from the body, but the rolling of sugar balls over the areas, but with strong pressure. This technique is rarely used in the bikini area, but it does take place. Most often, rolling the sugaring paste occurs when it comes to the hands and face.
True, this option does not usually give an effective result. And eitherthen you still have to cover the skin with a layer of paste and open it, or roll "sweet balls" for a long time over one area or another. Not the best alignment, especially when you consider that the first or second time you will be quite hurt during depilation. Over time, however, you will no longer feel discomfort and notice that sugaring is the most painless way of depilation, based only on natural ingredients.
Tips & Tricks
Well, it is also worth emphasizing that sugaring is not effective in all cases. Yes, this is a universal tool that many people prefer to use. But there are some tips and tricks that will help you avoid "failures" and not experience disappointments.
First, keep in mind that sugar depilation is not suitable for all hair. More precisely, we are talking about their length. Usually this method well removes hairs no more than 5 millimeters. If you "started" yourself, then you will have to find some other method of removing hair from the body.
Secondly, steaming the skin will only hurt. Often, girls believe that before applying sugar paste, the treated areas should not only be cleaned, but also steamed out. Not at all, such an approach will not have the best effect on the final result.
Thirdly, be prepared for the fact that the sugaring technique will not be mastered immediately. This takes practice and skill. Until you "fill your hand", during the depilation you will feel some discomfort and evenpain. Yes, of course, you can’t compare with waxing or epilation, but still. With experience, you will notice that the pain has subsided.
Fourth, after the procedure, it is advisable not to lubricate the skin with cosmetics. Maximum - rinse the treated areas with warm or cool water. After shugaring, the skin does not require any additional products and care. And this pleases many.
Home or salon
Often, girls think: is the shugaring technique in the bikini area (the sequence of the procedure we already know) worth the torment at home? Maybe it's better to seek help in beauty salons? After all, they have been offering this kind of depilation for a long time.
Determined here, everyone should for himself. If we are talking about deep depilation, then you can seek help from beauty salons. It is advisable to carry out this procedure on your own when you gain experience. Yes, this kind of service will not be the cheapest, but pain will be minimized.
Nevertheless, it is desirable in all other cases to give preference to home shugaring. With a certain skill, this option will help save money, time, and effort. Everyone can master it. It is recommended not to start learning shugaring techniques at home in the bikini area. Practice on your arms and legs first, then move to more sensitive areas as you gain experience. As you can see, it's not that hard if you think about it.
Disadvantages of the process includeonly that sometimes the technique of shugaring is mastered for a long time. The very application of the paste is simple, but, as already mentioned, a certain skill is needed. Without it, you will only hurt yourself.
