What it is? What are the pros and cons of the process? How to carry out the procedure? About all this further. In general, you should not think that shugaring is something simple. It actually requires certain skills and dexterity. In inept hands, the procedure may not give the desired result at all and turn out to be not only useless, but also harmful, or rather painful.
About depilation
The shugaring technique itself has been known since ancient times. But they began to actively use it only in the last few years. What kind of process are we talking about? What is depilation in general?
This is the process of cleaning the skin of unwanted vegetation on the body. Depilation is accompanied by pulling hair with a root. This approach provides a longer and more reliable cleaning, and also prevents the appearance of ingrown hairs. This is a modern approach to body care!
In general, the technique of shugaring (deep bikini and not only) is far from the only way of depilation. It just has become popular recently in many countries. For depilation, you can use a special cream, as well as wax and sugar. Let us dwell on the last option.
Shugaring
What is this all about? As we have already figured out, the shugaring technique (at home or in the salon) is a way of depilation. But what is it based on? What exactly is it?
Shugaring is a treatment of the skin to remove hair with a special sugar mass, red-hot and cooled. Something like waxing, but this option is less painful. In addition, it is safe and versatile. It can be used both in salons and at home. Easy to implement, although some preparation is still necessary.
Paste
The technique of shugaring bikinis (photos of the process are presented below) and other areas on the body comes down to the fact that the treated area should be covered with a special sugar paste. Just this moment plays an important role for the entire depilation.
At the moment, the mass for shugaring can be prepared independently. The recipe is extremely simple and does not require any supernatural components or knowledge. Only a few minutes of free time are needed. The cooking algorithm will be given a bit later.
Also, modern cosmetics stores and pharmacies offer to buy ready-made pasta. With it, the shugaring technique becomes easier several times. So it is this approach that is often chosen by women. Once the mass is ready, you can proceed directly to action.
Recipe
So, how do you cook your own pasta for our hair removal today? The technique of shugaring bikinis and other areas (for example, arms, legs, face) is unthinkable, of course, without sugar. You will have to prepare just a few components that are likely to be found in the kitchen of every housewife.
What is needed for pasta? Sugar, lemon juice and water. Nothing more. 6 teaspoons of sugar will require 2 teaspoons of lemon juice (or acid) and the same amount of warm water. How to make a blank?
In a bowl, mix all the ingredients, and then put the mass to simmer on a slow fire. Stir it constantly. Once the paste has a brown tint, slightly transparent, you can remove the workpiece from the fire. Put a small amount of the mass in cold water - if it does not spread, you can cool to room temperature what is in your bowl. It's all. Nothing more is required of you.
Skin preparation
The technique of shugaring a deep bikini at home (and not just a bikini zone) after making pasta comes to life easily and simply. To begin with, as before any depilation, you must prepare the skin for the process.
Fortunately, nothing special is needed here. Rinse the treated area thoroughly and then dry. It is important that the paste is applied only to dry skin, otherwise the effectiveness of the process will be in question. Most likely, you will not achieve any desired result.
Also note that it is not necessary to lubricate the skin with different creams, especially moisturizers. All this will only harm you. Once the zone is ready, you can proceed directly to the action. The process itself is extremely simple.
Pull out
What is the technique of shugaring deep bikinis and more? After you have prepared the skin, take a little sugar in your hands and make small balls out of it. They should be slightly warmed in the palms. It is advisable not to take too large pieces.
After warming and rolling, apply a thin layer of paste on the skin in the direction against hair growth. Wait a few seconds, after which, with a sharp movement, tear off the mass from the skin in the same direction. And it doesn’t matter which area is in question - whether or not the bikini zone. The process of applying shugaring is the same for the whole body. It may not be convenient to apply the paste initially, but over time you will learn how to do it.
Rolling
Sometimes the shugaring technique does not allow direct tearing of the mass away from the body, but rolling sugar balls into regions, but with strong pressure. This technique is rarely used in the bikini zone, but it does occur. Most often, rolling paste for shugaring occurs when it comes to hands and face.
True, this option does not, as a rule, give an effective result. And either then you still have to cover the skin with a layer of paste and open it, or for a long time roll the "sweet balls" in one or another area. Not the best deal, especially when you consider that the first or second time you will be quite hurt during depilation. Over time, however, you will cease to feel discomfort and notice that shugaring is the most painless method of depilation, based only on natural components.
Tips & Tricks
Well, it is also worth emphasizing that shugaring is not always effective. Yes, this is a universal tool that many people prefer to use. But there are some tips and tricks that will help you avoid “failures” and not experience disappointment.
First, keep in mind that sugar depilation is not suitable for all hair. More precisely, we are talking about their length. Typically, this method removes hairs well not more than 5 millimeters. If you "started" yourself, you will have to choose some other method of removing hair from the body.
Secondly, steaming the skin will only do harm. Often, girls believe that before using sugar paste, the treated areas need not only to be cleaned, but also steamed. Not at all, such an approach will not affect the final result in the best way.
Thirdly, be prepared for the fact that the shugaring technique will not be immediately mastered. It needs practice and dexterity. Until you “beat your hand”, during the depilation you will feel some discomfort and even pain. Yes, of course, you can not compare with the wax version or hair removal, but still. With experience, you will notice that the pain has come to naught.
Fourthly, after the procedure, it is advisable not to lubricate the skin with cosmetics. The maximum is to rinse the treated areas with warm or cool water. The skin after shugaring does not require any additional funds and care. And it pleases many.
Home or Salon
Often, girls think: is there a shugaring technique in the bikini zone (we already know the sequence of the procedure) torment at home? Perhaps it is better to seek help from beauty salons? After all, they have been offering this kind of depilation for a long time.
Here everyone should decide for himself. If we are talking about deep depilation, then you can ask for help in beauty salons. It is advisable to independently carry out this procedure already when you gain experience. Yes, this kind of service will not be the cheapest, but pain will be minimized.
Nevertheless, it is desirable in all other cases to give preference to home shugaring. With some skill, this option will help save money, both time and effort. Everyone can master it. It is recommended that you do not start learning about the shugaring technique at home in the bikini zone. Practice first on the arms and legs, then, as you gain experience, move to more sensitive areas. As you can see, it’s not so difficult if you think about it.
The disadvantages of the process can only be attributed to the fact that sometimes the shugaring technique is mastered for a long time. The application of the paste itself is simple, but a certain dexterity is needed, as has already been said. Without it, you only hurt yourself.
