Hair Removal - Epilation - Sugaring

Sugaring is similar to waxing but instead of using wax a sugar mixture is used. The sugar mixture is made up of sugar, lemon juice and water heated together to form a paste. Like waxing, a thin layer of sugar paste is applied to the skin and a cotton strip placed on top. The strip is then pulled back sharply against the direction of the hair growth. Sugaring is a suitable alternative to waxing for people sensitive to wax.

Adverse effects from sugaring include pain, hyperpigmentation, scarring, folliculitis, and ingrown hair pseudofolliculitis.
