I Tried Sugaring and I'll Never Get Waxed Again!
Happy Spring!
Are you a little bit curious about all the buzz about Sugaring?
Body sugaring is an ancient art of hair removal. At Orange Poppy, we use the authentic hand held method to apply an all natural sugar paste that gently removes unwanted hair for clean smooth skin. Sugar does not need to be heated like wax so it is safe even for the most sensitive/delicate skin types. It is also compostable so generates less waste than waxing.
Natural and Compostable:
Sugar paste is made with water, lemon juice, and sugar… that's it. It also does not require wooden sticks to apply or cloth strips for removal, making it a much more environmentally conscious alternative to traditional wax.
Less Painful:
While no form of removing hair from the root is painless, most people find sugaring to be less painful than waxing. Unlike waxing, sugaring only pulls out the hairs and doesn’t disturb the surface of the skin. Hot wax attaches to the hair and the skin, pulling skin cells with it as it is removed. This is not only potentially painful, but can cause redness, swelling, inflammation, and even bruising. If the wax is too hot, it can also burn your skin, especially in sensitive areas. Sugar can safely be reapplied to the same area if necessary to remove even the shortest hair, without causing damage to your skin. Hands down, Sugaring is a more gentle method of hair removal.
Prevents Ingrown Hairs:
Sugaring is especially beneficial if you suffer from frequent ingrown hairs. Since sugar paste is soft enough to penetrate into your pores, the removal process removes dead skin cells and residue that could clog hair follicles and cause ingrowns. Proper home care including regular exfoliation and moisturizer will also help.
Less Hair Growth Over Time:
Since sugar is excellent at penetrating into the follicle, it removes your hair from the root, with less occurrence of breakage. This complete removal means the follicle will have less blood supply overtime which means you’ll get less hair growth each time and the hair that does grow will be finer and sparser.
"After my Brazilian wax, my skin immediately broke out in red patches which is not what you want when you’re getting something done for cosmetic reasons. By the time the patches cleared, my hair started growing back, leaving me with no time to enjoy a full, clean wax. On the other hand, when I got sugared, there was no redness, even immediately after." - Mandi
Why You Should Be Dry Brushing:
Daily skin brushing helps with exfoliation, increases circulation, aids with detoxification and digestion and improves the appearance of cellulite!
That’s a lot of benefit for something so easy and inexpensive to incorporate into your pre-bath or shower routine. Plus it’s a great time to incorporate gratitude for your strong, beautiful body.
