What to Expect
Before Sugaring
- No sunbathing, tanning, or heat treatment 24 hours before service
- No oils or lotions before treatment. Skin needs to be oil-free. If you forget no worries I have a cleaner.
- Hair should be at least a 1/4 of an inch long. For most people that is about two weeks growth. But you also don’t want your hair to be too long either. If too long, I can also trim it.
- Ladies, you will be more sensitive to pain before and during your period. Try to wait at least 4 days after your period. Your hormones during this time are extra sensitive.
- Exfoliate two days before treatment. Please make sure you are clean. Especially if you are having a Brazilian. I do provide baby wipes and female wipes if needed.
- Tylenol or Ibuprofen can be taken 30 minutes before your appointment. This will help with pain, and also inflammation that may occur.
- Allow enough time for your appointment. (We all have busy lives, but you don’t want to rush this, especially if it is your first time)
After Sugaring
- CLOTHING: try to avoid tight-fitting clothing. Especially if you are having a Brazilian. No tights or skinny jeans. This will make you feel much more comfortable.
- EXFOLIATE: After 5 days you can gently Exfoliate. I recommend Exfoliating every three days to minimize ingrown hair. You can use a sugar scrub, to prevent the buildup of dead skin cells. This will also allow the hair to come through the skin when it appears again.
- AVOID: Scented lotion, scented oils, or Alpha hydroxy products for 48 hours. Think of your skin as if you have caught a little too much sun. Don’t use any thing that has alcohol in it.
- NO: Activities that may rub or scratch your skin. Swimming pools, Sunbathing, Tanning beds, hot tubs, or hot baths. Your hair follicle is still open. Wait 24 hours before doing any of these.
