FAQ: Preparing for and Caring After Sugaring
How do I prepare for sugaring?
- Arrive with clean skin.
- Avoid lotions or oils before your appointment.
- Exfoliate the night before using a dry brush, exfoliating mitt, or a sugar scrub.
How long does the hair need to be?
- About the length of a grain of rice.
What do I do post-sugaring?
- Keep your skin hydrated; sweet almond oil is recommended.
- Avoid exfoliating for the first 3 days.
- After 3 days, exfoliate every 2-3 days.
Pro Tip!
- Replace your lotions with sweet almond oil. Apply it while your skin is still wet from the shower, then towel dry. Its small molecules absorb well and keep the skin hydrated.
After Sugaring:
- Treat your skin gently to avoid irritation.
- Avoid UV rays to prevent burning.
- Refrain from touching the sugared area to prevent bacteria exposure.
- Avoid exercising for 24 hours to reduce the risk of breakouts.
- Resume exfoliating three days after sugaring to maintain skin health.
