The Difference Between Sugaring + Waxing
What is the difference between sugaring and waxing?
Sugaring
Sugaring causes minimal pain with no lingering pain following treatment.
Sugaring removes dead skin & pore build-up.
Sugaring removes hair from the root, decreasing hair regrowth.
Sugar paste is heated to room temperature only.
Sugaring is ideal for sensitive skin.
Sugaring helps prevent ingrown hairs due to its exfoliating properties within the sugar.
Sugaring is much more effective than hot wax for many reasons: Sugaring is done against the grain, so each hair is removed from the root. Whereas hot wax adheres to the substrate and is then pulled off with a muslin strip against the direction of hair growth, which can not only cause hair breakage, but can also cause trauma to your skin if it’s sensitive.
Sugaring uses 100%, all-natural ingredients.
Waxing
Waxing can be painful during & following treatment.
Wax consists of silicones, sulfates & preservatives.
Waxing can remove live skin.
Waxing rips the hair from the skin’s surface with the potential of leaving hairs behind.
Wax is heated to 135 degrees for best results which can easily burn the skin.
Waxing can cause redness & irritation.
Waxing doesn’t always remove the hair fully from the root causing ingrown hairs.
