Sugaring Before & Aftercare
Sugaring hair removal is the best form of hair removal and the best alternative to waxing. This form of hair removal is an organic paste that your Aesthetician is specially trained at removing hair. Finally, It is gentle to the skin, naturally exfoliates and it removes hair in the direction of hair growth. When seeing a professional Aesthetician for your Hair Removal, there are some important things to understand and prepare. Today I’m going to explain Pre and Post preparation for your skin and it will help your treatment run smoothly.
17 tips that help prepare the treatment area before and after your Sugaring appointment for best results
Exfoliate
Use a loofah, bath mit or sugar scrub to exfoliate 2-3 times a week when you bathe. The best time to start is 72-hours after your Sugaring treatment. Thereafter, rinse thoroughly and remove all soap and leave to dry naturally in a well ventilated place.
Moisturize
Moisturize your skin daily before and after your hair removal treatment (not the day of your treatment or during the first 72 hours after your treatment). Moving forward, this will help your skin and the hair grow for better sugaring treatments.
No Sweating
Do not do anything that will cause excessive sweating as the follicles are open and prone to infection.
Sun Exposure
Resist sun exposure for 48 hrs before and after being sugared.
Excessive Heat
Stay away from saunas, steam rooms, spas, and other heated sources for at least 48 hours.
Hot Water
Both hot baths and hot showers are discouraged directly after your appointment. If you need to bathe, use lukewarm water.
Chlorine
Stay away from swimming in chlorinated pools or the beach for 24 hours after your sugaring treatment.
Exercise
Hold off from heavy exercise for at least 24 hours after your treatment.
Exfoliating Products
Abstain from the use of exfoliating products for at least 72 hours after Sugaring as they might irritate your skin.
Natural Loofah
Hold off from using natural loofah’s as bacteria thrive in natural fibers.
Deodorant
Avoid applying deodorant for the first 24 hours after sugaring treatment if sugaring underarms.
Makeup
Ditch applying make-up directly after facial sugar.
Loose Clothes
Avoid tight clothing after sugaring, especially in the sugared areas. Wearing tight clothing may result in irritation and ingrown hairs.
Shaving
Don’t shave between sugaring. This distorts the hair growth cycle.
Ingrown Hair
Don’t pick at ingrown hairs, it may cause scarring or even infection. Come in and we will remove them professionally and hygienically.
Reactions
Apply a cold compress or anti-histamine cream to reduce redness, hives, or irritation. If you break out in red bumps after your sugaring appointment, this is called a histamine reaction. Taking an antihistamine will resolve this but let your Aesthetician know.
It is recommended your hair removal treatments are scheduled every 3 weeks for the best results. The hair will eventually start growing in less and less for most people if you maintain an every 3-week schedule year-round.
