I thank the lawd above that I am an open minded esthetician, and because of my willingness to try new things I was introduced to the concept of sugaring on twitter by the rock star sugaring experts @myshoba. If you don’t know by now, I am made up of a 84.5 percent skepticism, and the remaining 15.5 percent is I love being in the know. Yes, I am a walking contradiction, but who isn’t?
Something else you may not know about me is that, great marketing makes me weak in the knees, and Shobha is a very well marketed product. They are clear on what they provide and give you a ton of information on their services and products. I couldn’t resist trying out their sugaring gel, after they won me over with their kick-booty brand.
What’s the Big Sticky Deal?
Sugaring aka sugar waxing is also a form of hair removal. It is very similar to strip waxing in that is applied to unwanted hair and is removed with a strip. In this case I was given super cute denim strips to remove the sugar gel. Surprisingly enough it worked for removing the hair on my lower legs, and they were very, very smooth.
The Skinny: I did notice that when sugared the hairs on my mom’s chinny chin chin, they were less impressed and were rather defiant to the entire sugaring process. So I had to revert back to waxing those bad girls. After about 3 weeks of smooth legs it’s was time to re-sugar. I wax my lower legs every 6-8 weeks.
Mind Over Pain
Sugaring still stings just like waxing does to me, but may offer a less irritating experience to those that are allergic to the pine resins that are in traditional wax. It’s all natural you can make a sugaring paste using these ingredients sugar, honey, lemon juice and water. Consistency is key, and since I am anti-DIY I recommend buying your sugaring gel from a reputable company like Shobha.
It was fun trying something different, but as far as Ms. Esthetician is concerned I am going to stick with wax.
I’ll leave you with this video of sugaring done by one of Shobha’s experts.
