Modern fashionistas and beauties are sometimes concerned about the question: "What is shugaring?". Those who have some knowledge of the English language understand that this is due to some kind of sugar procedure. And they turn out to be right. In fact, sugaring is sugar hair removal, and it is very effective.
Explaining what shugaring is, it should first of all be said that this is a very ancient type of hair removal. They say that the Egyptian queen Nefertiti herself, famous for her unprecedented beauty, used it. Only then, in the XIV century BC, honey, wax and plant sap were used instead of sugar. And Queen Cleopatra, famous not only for her beauty, but also for her secret knowledge of caring for the female body, began to use sugar to remove excess hairs. Perhaps that is why they say about shugaring that it is Persian hair removal.
In any case, no matter how the procedure is called, every day it becomes more and more popular among our beauties. Now almost every beauty salon can offer this simple and very economical way to get rid of unwanted hair.
Now consider whatsuch is shugaring in practice, how this procedure is done correctly. First you need to prepare the skin. It is advisable to do peeling two days before epilation. Immediately before the procedure, various creams and moisturizers should not be applied to the skin - it must be completely dry. In addition, for the best effect, masters use talcum powder. It is applied to the skin in those places where the sugar paste for hair removal will be placed. Apply the sugar mass (still warm) with your hands in an even layer on a small area of \u200b\u200bthe skin. You can also use other tools: wooden sticks or spatulas. This should be done against hair growth.
When the sweet mass cools down a bit, it needs to be removed, now by hair growth (this is a very important point!). You can also use scraps of fabric or strips of paper. Then you get something like waxing.
But, compared to the latter, sugaring has a number of advantages:
- Sugar hair removal is hypoallergenic, as it does not contain dyes and fragrances, so the skin will not become irritated. This allows you to get rid of hair on any part of the body.
- Shugaring is carried out at natural temperature. This will protect the skin from burns.
- After the procedure, there is no problem of ingrown hairs, because they are removed in the direction of growth.
- The remains of the sweet mass after epilation are washed off with plain water. No need to use additional products or oils.
- Production of sugar paste does not require additional costs, which makes the sugaring procedure available at home.
Making sweet syrup at home is easy. You need to take 10 parts of sugar, 1 part of water and the juice of half a lemon. Mix everything in a small saucepan and place over medium heat. When the mixture boils, reduce the heat to a minimum value and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the color of the syrup becomes honey, and not brown. It is very important not to overcook the mixture. When everything is ready, the syrup should be poured into another, more convenient container, and allowed to cool to an acceptable temperature (at least an hour). After that, you can start shugaring.
Of course, sugar hair removal still has one drawback - the hair will have to be grown to a length of 2-4 mm. However, it seems insignificant compared to all the benefits. After all, the result is perfectly smooth skin in any part of the body, and the effect lasts for a long time (2-4 weeks).
Now we know what sugaring is and how to carry out this "sweet" procedure without leaving home.
