The warm sugar paste is gently applied onto cleansed, powdered skin. It is warmed to slightly above body temperature and applied to the skin with a hand in a very thin layer (5 times thinner than wax) removing the hair out by the root. The sugar adheres to the hair and not the skin so that the hair can be pulled off quickly and gently without much discomfort. The Sugaring is the ultimate treatment in hair removal. The walnut sized piece of paste sticks to hair as short as 1/8" and takes the hair out by the roots with a flick of the hand. No other hard wax or resin product can remove hair as short as this. You will get the feeling of a mini-massage. Because the paste remains soft and pliable there is very little breakage of the hair as it is removed completely from below the skin. Another benefit of the Sugaring method is the exfoliation of the skin resulting in fewer ingrown hairs.
