What to Know Before, After, and Between your Appointments

BEFORE

  • You’re going to need hair to remove, so make sure you’ve got about 1/4-1/2 inch in growth for your appointment

  • Hair must be grown out about 14 days after your last shave.

  • Avoid trimming, but if hair is longer than 3/4 inch, trim no shorter than 1/2 inch

  • Exfoliation is extremely important, BUT refrain from exfoliation the day of your appointment. It can add to skin sensitivity for your sugaring.

  • 24 hours prior, up your hydration. Be sure to drink more water within 24 hours of your appointment. Trust me it makes a big difference.

  • Avoid lotions and oils the day of your appointment.

  • Caffeine can cause extra skin sensitivity.

  • Avoid spray tanning before sugaring, as it can remove the color.

 

AFTER

  • Avoid Touching! It's tempting to get your hands on your new silky smooth skin, but your hands carry bacteria that could potentially cause an infection to your freshly opened pores.

  • Avoid Exercise. Sweat and bacteria could clog pores and irritate your skin.

  • Avoid exfoliation for the first 48 hours following your sugaring. After that, be sure to exfoliate regularly 2-4 times a week to prevent in grown hairs

  • Avoid lotions with fragrance, products with harsh chemicals, and exfoliation directly after your appointment. As mentioned before, exfoliation is extremely important and is recommended daily to prevent ingrown hairs, but waiting 2 days after your sugar is the best time to start.

  • Your freshly sugared skin should avoid the sun for at least 24 hours.

  • Avoid exfoliation for 48 hours.

 

BETWEEN

  • Get into a routine of exfoliating and moisturizing your beautiful skin! Gentle exfoliation daily will help to remove dead skin buildup and give your new hair opportunity to grow through the skin.

  • Exfoliation without moisturizing can cause dry skin, which your new hairs can get stuck underneath.

  • Use an all natural oil to moisturize your skin and if you have sensitive skin, it may be best to avoid lotions with fragrance.

  • The combination of exfoliation and moisturizing will give you optimal results for soft silky smooth skin!

  • Once you begin sugaring, waiting 4-6 weeks between appointments is average and will give you the best results for hair removal.
