It is definitely my favorite method of hair removal compared to traditional wax hair removal techniques.īecause sugar wax is water soluble and comes right off with warm/hot water in the shower, it is the perfect wax for anyone to use. No more need for baby oil when I can’t get the wax off my waxer left on me. Bonus: natural waxing has some major advantages, like it washes off easily with warm water, is great for sensitive skin, and has a long shelf life. Why Sugar Wax?īesides being just 2 ingredients (unless you count water as an ingredient, then 3, but I digress) DIY sugar wax is so much easier than you’d think to make. It’s also a fraction of the cost of going to a salon.
#AT HOME SUGAR WAX SKIN#
Sugar wax is known for being great for sensitive skin because it doesn’t stick as much to the skin, just the hair. It wasn’t until I discovered hard wax that I finally gave it another try, and after discovering I can sugar wax at home, I’ve been able to stick to a regular schedule–especially during the Pandemic. I swore off waxing strips forever after a bad experience (yup, even with professionals this can be an unpleasant experience) but had no idea there were less painful alternatives.
It was always a bit painful for my sensitive skin to go get waxed–especially in the bikini area. That will help you get used to the process before going to that bikini party with redness and/or bruising.Īfter experiencing it all, I prefer waxing over shaving. If you do this at home, start with areas that are used to abrasives, like your legs…in winter or a week before the party. If you aren’t experienced, the chances of bruising goes up because of not being gentle with yourself. I’m probably overly cautious because I have extra sensitive skin and bruise easily, even with professionals. If you’ve never waxed before, go to a professional first.
