Sugar paste contains no chemicals or resins, it is hypoallergenic and safe for all skin types. Diabetics, those with eczema, spider or varicose veins and those prone to breakouts and ingrown hairs after waxing, will benefit from Sugaring. Body Sugaring is sanitary. Sugar is naturally anti-bacterial and contains healing properties. Bacteria does not breed or thrive in sugar. Sugar paste is applied at room temperature so there is never a risk in burning the skin. With this being said, with a skilled and experienced wax technician, you should never be burned with wax either!

Body sugaring is water soluble, meaning you can easily clean any residue with plain water unlike regular wax. You will never have a leftover sticky or tacky residue. Again, a skilled and experienced wax technician will ensure you are cleaned properly of all wax residue. Hair can be removed at less than 1/8th of an inch hair growth, depending on the person) as opposed to waxing which requires 1/4th inch re-growth. Over time, sugaring regularly during the beginning stage of hair growth (Anagen), the follicle wall will begin to weaken. This causes hair to grow back thinner and finer. Eventually the follicle wall will collapse and will stop producing noticeable hair.

According to the nurses at Aesthetics Plus, an esthetic medical training facility, Sugaring has the same success rate as laser, but at considerably less cost. The paste is very gentle and can be put right over an area that was just sugared but missed some hairs, without fear of much irritation. Sugaring does not attach to live skin cells. Sugaring will only take away dead skin cells. If your skin is not already over-exfoliated (using glycolic, Retin A or peels) you do not have to worry about the sugar accidentally removing skin.
