PRE-PROCEDURAL GUIDELINES FOR SUGARING

MADE OF WATER, SUGAR & LEMON JUICE
Sugaring is a completely natural method of hair removal using sugar paste which is a natural product containing only sugar, water and lemon.
  • Should you have extremely sensitive skin, we recommend that an antihistamine can be taken prior to and after your appointment
  • Do not exfoliate the area that will be sugared at least one week before your appointment. NB powerful exfoliators that contain Alpha-Hydroxy Acid, Salicylic Acid will cause a reaction on your skin
  • Retinoids creams should not be used 4-5 days before your sugaring appointment
  • Spray Tans and Sun beds must be done 48 hours after your treatment Come lo your appointment make-up free (if possible) should you be sugaring your face
  • The day of your appointment. minimize your caffeine and alcohol intake to prevent your pores from lightening
  • Women may experience extra sensitivity to sugaring prior or during menstruation
  • If you are pregnant, using oral contraceptives or hormone replacement your skin may be more sensitive to sugaring
