How to make sugar epilation at home: step by step instructions
Like any other epilation procedure, shugaring requires preliminary preparation of the skin. This includes many ingredients that should not be ignored. Otherwise, the result will not be so impressive.
- If you have a low pain tolerance, take a hot shower before your hair removal session to properly open your pores. Then wipe dry the skin to be epilated.
- Next, you need to disinfect the surface, but do not use products containing alcohol. There is no need to spend money on expensive specialized drugs either. For these purposes, Chlorhexidine is the best suited, the cost of which in a pharmacy does not exceed 20 rubles. Just soak a cotton pad in the solution and wipe your skin.
- Then, moisture must be removed from the skin to improve the adhesion of the sugar paste to the skin. To do this, you can use regular baby talcum powder or even starch (potato or corn). After the Chlorhexidine treatment, place a new cotton pad in the starch and apply it to the surface of the skin, rubbing well.
After that, the skin will be fully prepared for the shugaring procedure. Then comes an equally crucial moment - the application of the paste and hair removal. Effectiveness is no less dependent on the correct choice of funds. If the hairs are weak and thin, the softest paste is suitable, which is applied with a spatula, and removed with a jerk of a paper strip. The coarser and tougher the hairs, the thicker the paste.
And now attention, the most important rule, which few people mention, which causes many problems. On the overwhelming majority of sites, it is customary to compare shugaring with waxing. However, unlike wax, sugar paste is applied to the skin against hair growth, and removed after growth! This is the main secret of shugaring, which allows you to avoid the problem of ingrown hairs and severe pain.
Also, to avoid severe pain, apply a paste and remove hair from small areas of the body. This will make the procedure not only less painful, but also more effective.
Sugar Hair Removal Composition Recipe
Why spend money on expensive funds if you can make a wonderful pasta yourself without any special effort. To do this, you just need nothing:
- 10 tablespoons of sugar;
- a tablespoon of water;
- half a lemon.
Pour sugar into an enamel saucepan, pour in water and squeeze out the juice of half a lemon. Mix everything and put on the lowest heat. It is not necessary to close the lid and interfere too. In general, for the entire time of its preparation, you can only stir a couple of times, and so, preferably, do not touch the mixture.
As soon as the composition acquires the color of dark beer, everything is ready. Pour the shugaring into a plastic container and let it cool.
Perhaps at first you will not get the consistency you want, but in no case do not despair and stop trying to achieve the ideal. If the paste turns out to be thin (undercooked), you can use it for the bandage technique of hair removal (with a spatula and strips). And if you digest it and it will be like caramel, then just melt it a little in a water bath before using it, and then use the manual hair removal technique - with your hands.
Just a couple of attempts at cooking, even not entirely successful ones, and you will become a real professional in this matter. Needless to say, for the price, cooking pasta at home is much more attractive than store copies. At the same time, the quality of “homemade” pasta is in no way inferior to branded counterparts.
Sugar hair removal reviews
Sugar hair removal has many fans on its side, and there is a completely logical explanation for this. Firstly, compared to other similar methods, for example waxing, shugaring is less painful. This is due to the more elastic structure of the mass, which, although effective, but "softer" removes hairs, as well as a special direction in hair removal. Secondly, even a salon shugaring procedure at a price significantly lower than others. Moreover, it is no less effective.
Well, the biggest plus, which we already mentioned above, is the absence of ingrown hairs. Since the hairs are removed according to their growth, then, accordingly, the risk of their breaking off at the base decreases.
Sugar paste, oddly enough, does not cause irritation. After the procedure, there may be a slight redness, which disappears on its own, without additional exposure, within 30 minutes. And this is also very important.
However, it is shugaring that requires the acquisition of skill, without which it will be difficult in the first stages. And here the main thing is not to be disappointed and to continue learning, taking into account the mistakes of the past.
