Sugaring Beauty Trend: Sugar-Sweet Hair Removal

Cleopatra is said to have gotten rid of unwanted body hair with sugaring. So this beauty trend has roots going back thousands of years. But how does sugaring work? We clarify these and many other questions about the gentle waxing alternative.

How does sugaring actually work?

Nothing against the good old wet razor, but: The trendiest type of hair removal is now called sugaring. To get rid of annoying hairs, use a honey-like mass of sugar, lemon juice, and water in this traditional procedure. Apply the warm sugar paste to the skin, similar to wax, and then pull it off again shortly afterwards – and with it the annoying little hairs and their roots. Good to know: The ancient technique for smooth, supple skin works on the legs and arms as well as on the face and bikini area.

What Are the Benefits of Sugaring?

No wonder that sugaring is in vogue: Compared to classic shaving, epilation or waxing, this type of hair removal is considered to be almost painless and extremely gentle on the skin. The reasons: During sugaring, the sugar paste is not pulled off against, but gently in the direction of hair growth. The tiny sugar molecules also capture hair follicles optimally, which is why a single area of ​​skin usually only needs to be treated once. The sugar paste is also absolutely natural and therefore also suitable for allergy sufferers and sensitive skin. You see: With sugaring you can finally say goodbye to annoyances such as strawberry legs, cuts, or razor bumps!

Can sugaring also be done at home?

In fact, you can easily mix the sugar paste for sugaring yourself at home. All you need: 200g sugar, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tbsp water. Place all ingredients in a saucepan, then heat over medium-high heat. Now stir constantly until the mixture is thick after about ten minutes. Pour the paste into a glass and let it cool. To treat, pluck off bits of the mass and knead in your hands to warm it up and make it malleable. Then apply to the skin in the opposite direction of hair growth and pull off in the direction of hair growth – done!
