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
