Before, After, and Between your Appointments
Before:
If this is your first sugar, make sure your hair is grown out to 1/16th to 1/4th of an inch (like a grain of rice!). This will significantly reduce the amount of discomfort!
Exfoliate the skin a minimum of 2 days before your appointment. Do not exfoliate the day before, the day of or the day after.
Please arrive 5 mins early with clean, dry skin (no oils or lotions). I have hygienic amenities available for use prior to service if needed.
Do not apply deodorant if getting underarms sugared.
I recommend that men bring a clean cotton t-shirt and gym shorts if having their back, chest or legs sugared.
If you currently
Razor/Shave – Allow at least 10-14 days of regrowth before getting sugared.
Wax – Allow 4 weeks of regrowth before getting sugared.
Sugar – 4-6 weeks of regrowth.
If you are a little nervous about the pain 😉, take ibuprofen 30 mins prior to your appointment. It is also very important to exfoliate and hydrate your skin the day before your appointment.
After & Between Visits:
24 hours after sugaring treatment, you should avoid the following:
Do not apply any scented lotions or creams
Do not exfoliate the skin for 48 hours after treatment
Deodorant (if you had underarms sugared)
Heat (including saunas, steam rooms and hot yoga studios)
Direct sunlight, tanning beds and infrared lamps
Working out (skip the gym for the day)
Make-up (if you had face sugared)
Touching, scratching or rubbing the treated area
It is very important to exfoliate and hydrate your skin. Start exfoliating the skin 2 days after the sugaring treatment every 2-3 days. To exfoliate you can use a bristle body brush or nylon glove and move in a circular motion. For the more sensitive areas like the bikini or Brazilian use a coffee or sugar scrub. In order to keep skin hydrated, make sure to moisturize with a lotion or cream that is all natural.
Do not use a razor to remove hairs in between appointments. This defeats the purpose of and decreases the benefits of body sugaring.
I recommend rebooking every 3-5 weeks, but each client’s regrowth will depend on their individual growth rate and skin type. I will work with you to determine the best times for your next service.
In some cases, you may experience some bruising in your leg creases. Making sure you are property hydrated before your service will help limit this
