Sugaring done on a regular basis relieves the stress and anxiety of getting your hair removed. At home you can exfoliate and moisturize to eliminate ingrowns and reduce pain and stress on your skin and mind. Supporting your hair, skin, and body with sugar hair removal is a form of Self-Care Awareness.
Sugar hair removal can help clients feel clean and mentally relieved of unsettling hair nuisances as well as eliminate bad habits such as picking your skin or pulling out your hair. Sugar hair removal can also lessen pain from cysts and promote healthy cell turn over on your skin.
Self-care will look different for everyone. Not all clients have the same type of hair or skin. Some people have bumpy skin and fine hair and some people have smooth skin with coarse hair. Some people can't stand hair anywhere on themselves so it's hard for them to let the hair grow out, and some people don’t mind the hair, but they know sugaring benefits their skin by removing dead skin cells. Below are very general ideas of how a person can care for their skin and hair on their body between sugaring appointments.
If you really want to maintain healthy hair and skin, look at it! Yes, check out your body and skin. Check for bumps, bruises or any irregularities.
When you shower, try to exfoliate at least once a week. Take a rough washcloth or exfoliating mitt throughout your whole body, not just the areas you see. Focus on your outer thighs, behind your neck, and between your toes and your back. Find a day or time that you can spend some extra time scrubbing yourself. Do something different. If you normally clean your face with a face wipe, try using a gentle face cleanser with water and wash in circular motion for one minute. This might be a once a month thing, whatever works for you. Carve out time to get rid of the debris on your hair and skin. You don’t have to be fancy, you don’t have to buy extra products, just scrub yourself.
Not everyone has the time to moisturize everyday. Sometimes I will break my body up and only moisturize my lower body or upper body. Some people do not like the feeling of lotion, I get that. Find a product that works for you, it could be a Rosewater spray, a lightweight moisturizer, or a heavy cream. If you have a face or body cream you don’t like for the area as directed, use the product on your feet.
Here are some skin and body care tips I share with clients for self-care awareness
You don’t have to create a new routine to take care of yourself. This thought can be overwhelming for many. Your life may be too full to add anything else.
You don’t have to buy fancy expensive products. Use what you have at home. You can use a washcloth and soap, and scrub every part of your body.
Set your lotion in an area where you will see it and use it when you can rest, like before bed. If you are using lotion on your body, start with your elbows, knees or feet.
Buy one product from your Sugar Hair Removal Specialist and ask her or him the best practice. These products are specific to the needs of clients that get their hair removed.
Share your home skin and hair care routine with your Sugar Hair Removal Specialist. The more they know about your lifestyle habits helps them understand how to help you.
Find a Sugarist you connect with and trust. Tell your Sugarist if you are sensitive to pain. They can change how they mold and flick to lessen the pain. Doing this will promote regular visits and promote a sense of freedom from unwanted hair.
Sugaring is a gentler alternative to waxing because it is not hot and removes hair by the root. If you do another form of hair removal such as waxing, but you don’t like the process of it or your skin does not like it, try something else.
Your skin can change without your understanding. For example, some clients shaved for many years and then they started getting razor burn. Listen to your skin, it will tell you if it does not like something.
Creating self-care awareness may be difficult at first so break down the routine to meet your life where you are. Use a soap that is right for your skin type. If you have sensitive skin, use a soap for sensitive skin. If you don’t like to scrub your body with a mitt, use an exfoliating product that you can leave on. Ask questions. A Sugar hair removal specialist is your guide to finding mental peace by removing unwanted hair leading to a clean feeling. Lastly, pay attention to what your skin and hair are telling you. The more you sugar, the weaker your hair becomes. This is your goal. Do your part at home, big or small, to maintain peace of mind and lessen the stress of body hair concerns.
