What Is Sugaring?

Sugaring is an ancient hair removal technique that goes back thousands of years. Technically even Cleopatra used sugaring to get rid of unwanted hair. It’s a very gentle and effective way of removing body hair. The sugaring paste is made up of three simple ingredients: sugar, water and lemon juice. It can be easily made at home or you can buy premade sugaring wax from various companies. It’s completely water-soluble, unlike wax. But just like wax it gets rid of hair by pulling it out by the root.

Types Of Sugaring Paste

There are two main kinds of sugaring pastes. Hard and soft. The hard one is thick but malleable, it’s used on its own. The soft one is more liquid and requires you to use a spatula to spread it and cloth strips to rip the hair out.
