Sugar hair removal attracted many women. It’s almost painless to get rid of excess hairs on the body using such a simple method. The bandage shugaring technique is considered one of the simplest, for which many women have appreciated it. The technique is mainly used at home. Let us consider in more detail the features of such a procedure.
Sugar Hair Removal Overview
Women of the Ancient East used the practice of removing excess hair with a mixture of honey and juices of various plants. The modern interpretation implies the use of several other components that have the same effect. The main substance for the preparation of special pasta is sugar.
Sugaring recently began to conquer Europe, but many girls have already noted the advantages of this method, the main of which include:
- hypoallergenic - only natural substances are part of the paste;
- the absence of ingrown hairs in the future - unlike other methods, the hair during shugaring is removed completely along with the bulb;
- profitability - many people prefer to do sugar hair removal at home, because pasta can be prepared from simple ingredients;
- durability of the result - the effect lasts for 20-25 days;
- painlessness - caramel, in comparison with the same wax, sticks less to the skin; this can significantly reduce discomfort when removing hairs, even in the most delicate places.
The use of bandage technology
At home, a bandage shugaring technique is usually used, which resembles wax depilation. The paste is removed from the skin using tissue (or paper) strips. Using this method is recommended if the skin is too thin and sensitive. The bandage technique is ideal for treating areas with increased sweating. Unlike the manual method, bandage shugaring is suitable for removing short hair (3-5 mm).
Which paste is suitable for the procedure?
The bandage shugaring technique involves the use of soft sugar paste, which resembles honey in consistency. This paste is ideal for removing cannon and fine hair. The finished mixture can be purchased at the beauty salon or prepared on your own.
Preparing for Shugaring
Having decided on sugar hair removal, you should know about some of the nuances of preparation. First of all, the skin must be degreased. This can be done using a special tonic or alcohol-based lotion. In the absence of such a cosmetic product, you can use a drug from a pharmacy called "Chlorhexidine." For better adhesion of the paste to the skin, the areas are treated with talc. Particular attention should be paid to areas where sweating is increased.
How to apply paste?
The sugar mass is preheated (up to 35-40 ° C) using a microwave oven or in a water bath. Apply the paste with a spatula in a thin layer exclusively against the growth of hairs. Next, attach a strip of fabric or paper and smooth it in the same direction as caramel was applied.
To perform the procedure with virtually no pain, you need to stretch the skin near the sticky bandage. With your other hand, you should pull off the strip with a sharp movement in the direction of hair growth in the treated area.
Bandage Shugaring Technique in the Bikini Zone
Removing hairs in the bikini area even with sugar paste can be a very painful procedure if you do not prepare the skin first. Experts recommend taking a warm bath before shugaring the bikini zone to steam out the sensitive area and make the manipulation less painful. A few days before hair removal, you can use a scrub.
Before applying the paste, it is necessary to degrease the dermal area well and treat the epilated area with talc (in its absence, you can use starch). After applying a soft paste with a spatula and putting a bandage strip on top, you should also tear it off sharply in the direction of hair growth. Small areas are recommended. The same place can be processed no more than three times.
How to handle armpits?
The bandage technique of shugaring armpits can greatly facilitate the procedure. In the salons, this area is processed mainly using a manual technique. Axillaries are areas with increased sweating, and therefore, before handling, they should be well treated with baby powder, talcum powder or starch.
The technique of applying paste and tearing off a fabric strip completely coincides with the processing of other zones. After the procedure, do not use deodorants during the first day.
