It’s official, summer is here and that means shorts, tanks, and swimsuits–in other words, it’s time to start your summer smooth. Instead of a cruel summer, make it sweet with gentle, longer-lasting hair removal through sugaring!
Sugaring is the preferred method of hair removal at Firecracker Beauty Spa. Using a paste of natural ingredients that usually includes lemon, water, and sugar, hair is removed from the root. The sugaring paste is heated to a taffy-like consistency and handled by the esthetician like putty. Sugaring can be used across any area of the body in most clients and because it’s gentler than waxing, is better for people with sensitive skin.
Sugaring is a more natural, gentle method of hair removal. Because the sugar paste doesn’t adhere to skin, there’s very little irritation and because the paste is cooled (enough to be handled by the esthetician) it can’t burn the skin. Sugaring can lightly exfoliate the skin, as it will adhere to dead surface cells, which results in healthier skin that looks renewed. A key difference between waxing and sugaring is the direction of the hair removal. In sugaring, hair is pulled out in the direction of the hair growth. Waxing removes hair in the opposite direction of growth, which can cause breakage.
As a result, when hair grows back after sugaring, it feels finer, thinner, and less noticeable, making your results last!
If you’re considering underarm, bikini, or Brazilian sugaring, level up and schedule an underarm facial or vajacial–bringing an instant soothing glow to your most sensitive parts. Brightening serum and a hydrating, cooling jelly mask are applied after the sugaring is complete, which reduces bumps, ingrown hair, and dark shadows and uneven skin tone.
