A part of personal care for every woman is the removal of excess hair on her legs and other parts of the body. There are a considerable number of ways to achieve a good result. This includes sugar depilation, or shugaring. The procedure is not complicated, and it can be done at home. And how to do it right, now we find out.
Shugaring has been known to women since ancient times. It is believed that with his help Cleopatra herself removed the hairs on the body. Be that as it may, to this day the procedure enjoys considerable popularity, and this is not surprising, because to carry out it requires only the natural ingredients that are in every home. And yet, sugar depilation is less painful than many other methods.
It is worth paying attention to the fact that shugaring eliminates only visible hairs, i.e. does not affect the bulbs located under the skin. Therefore, you should not rely on the long-term preservation of the result, therefore, depilation with sugar should be carried out as necessary.
How to make a composition
The active substance, with which hairs are removed, is sugar mass. To cook it, you need to do the following:
- Pour into the pan 10 tbsp. sugar, send there 5 tbsp. lemon juice and 1 tablespoon water. Put the mass on the fire and cook until it becomes a thick and golden color.
Sugar depilation at home
So, before proceeding with the removal of hairs, you need to prepare the skin. To do this, it must be degreased, for example, just wash with ordinary toilet soap. We wait until the skin dries, and then, if desired, sprinkle lightly with talcum powder so that the sugar mass adheres less.
Please note that you need to use only warm sugar mass, but not hot, otherwise you can get burns. 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 we tear it off sharply. Together with her, all the hairs should leave. Sugar depilation is good because it removes even the shortest hairs. True, there is one “but”!
If you are doing this depilation for the first time, and before that you just shaved your hair, then you need to wait until they grow well. They are usually rude, so they may not succumb to shugaring.
After depilation at home with sugar is over, the remaining mass is washed off and moisturized. I would like to note that shugaring allows not only to get rid of hairs, but also to clear 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 on it.
Sugar depilation is somewhat painful. But the pain is tolerant, and will make itself felt only when you rip off the strip. In short, the procedure deserves you to try it out and decide for yourself whether it suits you or not.
