So, today we will talk with you about which is better - shugaring or wax. In fact, these are quite new (or well-forgotten old), but popular methods of hair removal. They are great for home use. We will look at a few recipes for making and using wax shugaring, and then decide which is best.
What for?
Girls at all times monitored their appearance. It was necessary to get rid of excess vegetation constantly. And not so long ago, wax and then the most common sugar began to be used for this purpose.
The thing is that the previously performed hair removal was a painful process with unpleasant consequences. Ingrown hairs, pain and redness - all these are not the best outcomes of the procedure. Thus, we will see with you which is better - shugaring or wax. Or maybe neither one nor the other? Let's understand this issue, and then study the most suitable recipes and methods of application at home.
Price
The first thing that, as a rule, the girls pay attention to is the price of the procedures. The thing is that our today's receptions can be found both in salons and beyond. In particular, shugaring, the price of which can be only 500 rubles. Agree, not so expensive. You don’t have to think about the negative consequences and pain. If you decide to use the home recipe, then it will cost you about 100 rubles for many procedures. More precisely, we will calculate a little later.
Regarding wax, we can also say that this is an inexpensive procedure. In the cabin, it costs about the same as shugaring. Depending on the place of application. But for home purposes, this technique will cost a little more - about 150 rubles. Let's understand further what is better - shugaring or wax.
No pain
And without that it is known that girls for the sake of beauty are ready to endure any pain. True, this is not always good for the skin. With the advent of wax and shugaring, the pain during the disposal of excess vegetation on the body almost disappeared. Let's figure out where it is less.
Naturally, it all depends on the location of hair removal. In the bikini area, wax for depilation, reviews of which are left positive, as a rule, when applied to the legs, it is better not to use. In these places you will feel tangible pain. After all, you literally have to “tear off” the wax from the body along with the hairs. Not the best outcome.
But depilation shugaring here is much more suitable. Moreover, it is also more convenient to use it on the body, and the pain here is minimized. Only on his feet, for example, will have to try pretty hard with this process. It can take quite a lot of time. Usually for this venture, as a rule, it is customary to use wax. In particular, special strips. So is shugaring or wax better? We move on.
Availability
Any procedure can be judged by its availability. And now it’s not about price. The thing is that both wax and shugaring are new and accessible to everyone and everyone.
Firstly, as already mentioned, they can be reached by appointment in beauty salons. These are the most suitable and popular methods of getting rid of excess vegetation on the body. Shugaring, whose price is not so high, is now slightly ahead of wax procedures because of its novelty. In addition, such depilation, to be honest, is more affordable than wax. All because of the simplicity of preparing the material at home. Shugaring depilation is the option that can be done without leaving your home. After all, all the products for the preparation of a special mass will always be found in every housewife.
But wax for depilation, reviews of which are left very positive, as a rule, requires some costs. Yes, it can be prepared at home, but it is much more difficult than making a mass for shugaring. In addition, if you are not particularly fond of "chemical", you will have to go to the nearest supermarket for special wax strips. But here, the method has its advantages. You can hardly buy shugaring in a store. Such a mass, as a rule, is not sold, but prepared at home. Do not like to experiment near the stove? Then you have two options - either go to the salon for this service, or use wax. Like this. We conclude that shugaring or wax is better.
Effects
Now it’s worth finding out with you about the extent of the so-called consequences of our procedures. In fact, they are not particularly different. But for each girl, as a rule, each item separately plays an important role. That is why you have to think what is better - shugaring or wax.
The first thing you can encounter is nothing more than ingrown hairs. The thing is that when applying both methods, as a rule, the probability of the occurrence of these consequences is rapidly moving to zero. So far, both with wax and shugaring, the results are the same.
Redness and itching - this is the second moment, which often scares away pretty ladies. Here, as a rule, shugaring (with citric acid) is the most sparing option. It acts very gently and gently on the skin, which practically does not cause redness. True, in some particularly sensitive places you can encounter such a problem.
But the wax for depilation, the home recipes of which we learn a little later, as a rule, can cause some redness. Itching is generally excluded here, but reddish skin in some areas and for a short while is quite normal. Although not often, it happens. Especially if the girl is a real sissy. True, if you do not apply wax in particularly sensitive places, then this effect can be eliminated. But which is better - shugaring or wax? Let's move on.
Application area
Well, we continue to study all the pros and cons of today's two methods of depilation. In fact, it will be very, very difficult to answer the question posed. In particular, because both options have a lot of similar advantages. It is worth trying to evaluate both methods by area of application.
The thing is that shugaring depilation is usually suitable for use throughout the body. There are arms and legs, and armpits, and a face, and a bikini zone. This method perfectly removes hairs, and is also not very painful (as we have already noticed).
But this can not be said about wax. This option is good for eyebrow correction, ideal for getting rid of facial hair, as well as getting rid of vegetation on the legs and arms. But the armpits and intimate areas, as already mentioned, it is better not to wax. It will be very painful, although in other places, as a rule, such a feeling is absent. Waxing or shugaring? Judging by the areas of application, the second option is still leading. But that is not all. Let's try to figure out what else plays a role in our difficult "showdown".
Ease of use
Well, now let's try to judge our current methods by a very interesting and entertaining criterion. It is about ease of use of procedures. That is, we compare the so-called operating instructions. This is a very interesting and entertaining approach.
Shugaring (with or without citric acid), as a rule, does not require any preparation or anything like that. The cooked mass is simply taken, and then the area where depilation is worth it is “run in”. Honestly, very simple and convenient. The mass, by the way, will somehow remind you of a plasticine ball. After treatment, rinse the skin with warm water, and then grease with cream. This is not necessary, but desirable.
Wax, in particular wax strips, require approximately the same amount of effort. If we take into account that, as a rule, arms, legs, and a face are treated with these methods, then its use can be considered simpler. Heated wax is applied to the body, a special strip is applied on top (if you did not buy ready-made options at the supermarket), which is then torn off against hair growth with a sharp movement. Then wash the skin with water and lubricate with olive oil (it comes in the kit) or moisturizer. On the face, just a good treatment with water (warm) is enough. That's all. And now it’s worth learning how to make homemade shugaring (recipe).
Cooking pasta
So, we are starting with you to prepare the paste for the "sugar depilation" at home. All ingredients must be found on any housewife on the shelves or in the refrigerator. In order to cook the paste, you need to take 200 g of sugar (this is enough for about 3-4 times), 100 ml of water (warm), as well as 2 teaspoons of citric acid.
Mix water with sugar and put the mass to boil. Stir constantly. When the color changes to caramel, remove from heat, add citric acid, and then continue stirring until smooth. As soon as this happens, just cool what happened to you. Now you need to bring the paste to room temperature. That's all. You can take "plasticine" in your hands, roll it into a ball and use it as intended.
conclusions
And our conversation is drawing to a close. So is shugaring or wax better? In fact, there is no definite answer. Everyone decides for himself what is interesting, convenient and necessary. As they say, the taste and color ...
In principle, for home depilation, you can use wax strips and a special cream that eliminates excess vegetation. This is a very cheap and high quality method. But in the salons now, as a rule, they offer shugaring. If you can’t decide at all, then apply both options alternately.
