Anyone under the age of 30 probably has no idea what “sugaring” is. Customers who were visiting salons in the ’70s and ’80s do. For a long while, sugaring phased out and aestheticians were only doing wax for hair removal, but sugaring in Costa Mesa, CA, has returned and is extremely popular. If you’re too young to remember this hair removal technique, or you would rather go back to sugaring in Costa Mesa, CA, salons after years of doing nothing but wax, here’s a little more about sugaring and what you need to know.
Sugaring Is Actually a Very Old Hair Removal Process
Long before anyone ever thought of using hot wax to remove hair, people were using a mixture of sugar, water, and citrus oils heated to a comfortable temperature. In fact, it was the popular method of hair removal in Ancient Egypt! The mixture is applied in a layer against the growth direction of the hair follicles, and like waxing, it uses linen strips to catch the sticky substance and pull away from the skin. There are several benefits to using sugaring over waxing, too.
Sugaring Is All-Natural
Because you are using ingredients that are all-natural, and because the sugar mixture is not nearly as hot as the wax, you get less redness and irritation. The skin is softened by the sugar, and the citrus oils leave you smelling delicious.
