WHAT IS SUGARING?

Body Sugaring at Essence                                                         The history of Sugar: sugaring is one of the oldest forms of hair removal. Considered an art, the earliest references came from the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt and Greece.

Egyptian hieroglyphics describe how slave girls serving the Pharaoh were expected to remove their body hair. Hair on the body was considered, by the upper class, to be unclean. During the reign of the Turkish Empire, the removal of body hair was considered an art (info adapted from the Alexandria Professional Sugaring Reference Guide.)

Today, Essence offers this ancient art in a new form, keeping clients happy, healthy and hair free!

Alexandria Professional Body Sugaring™ is a much gentler, safer, and truly progressive methods of hair removal for all parts of the body. It is effective on all skin types and hair textures for both men and women.

Advantages of sugaring                                                  Pure and natural ingredients Sugaring paste is made from 100% natural ingredients with no chemical additives, no testing on animals and no harmful side effects caused by allergic reactions. It is so natural you can EAT it!

Not as hot                                                                         Sugar is warm to the touch and will not cause swelling or issues with underlying connective tissues over long term use.

Doesn’t stick to skin                                                 Sugar cannot adhere to live skin cells. Live cells are wet, and because sugar is water soluble, it will not adhere to live skin cells. It will extract the hair, without causing skin damage or irritation.

Less breakage                                                                The sugar paste wraps around the hair shaft making it pliable, while seeping below the mouth of the follicle and lubricating the hair to make the extraction more complete and gentle. The hair is eased out of the follicle only in the natural direction of growth, which helps to extract the hair intact. Because of the direction of extraction the client feels little, if any discomfort.

Leads to permanency                                                After a number of treatments the hair follicle begins to deplete. The hair growth is more refined each time. Because sugar can extract the shortest hair, it is possible to extract hair in its earliest growth phase, which can lead to permanency.

Before Sugar Treatment                                               Please do not use a razor or depilatory creams between appointments, as this will interfere with your goal to refine and diminish your hair growth and to have smooth healthy skin. Regularly hydrating and exfoliating your skin between sugaring treatments is just as important as receiving treatment. You will receive he best results if your skin is healthy.

Precautions                                                          Sugaring is not recommended if you are undergoing Retin-A or Acutane treatment, using vitamin C topical products or have recently under gone a heavy peel (1 to 5 day peel). If you are undergoing a microderm abrasion treatment, clients must wait 3 days or 72 hours before being sugared. Clients should not exfoliate 24 hours before or after being sugared.                        Sugaring is not recommended during your menstrual cycle, as you may be more sensitive.

After Sugar Treatment Irritants                                       Do not use perfumed soap or products with chemical irritants on sugared areas within 24 hours of your treatment. Do not apply deodorant to underarms for 12 hours after sugaring treatment. We recommend that you avoid make-up for 12 hours following a facial sugaring treatment.  We recommend that you wait 24 hours before exposing your skin to the sun, infra red lamps or solarium. You should not receive a sugaring treatment on an area where your skin is sun burned.
