Proper preparation before sugaring: what needs to be done before sugar hair removal?

However, before you begin directly preparing for depilation, it is worth considering contraindications.

People who have intolerance to citric acid or sugar(these are the main ingredients - here you can), it is better to refuse sugaring.

The painlessness of the procedure directly depends on how well this stage of preparation is performed. Why? Because the longer the hairs, the more noticeable the pain syndrome will be.

Important! At least a week before the sugaring session, hair removal by any means should be abandoned.

The appropriate length for the procedure is:

4 or 5 mm (ideal);
from 3 to 8 mm (acceptable option);
3 or 4 mm (recommended length after waxing);
5 or 7 mm (recommended length after depilation with a razor).

The maximum length is 8mm, with which there will be no pain from the procedure. But if the hairs grow longer, you will either have to endure the discomfort or do what is necessary to shorten it.

What to do if the length is longer than normal?

First way: apply depilation with wax or razor and wait until the hairs grow to the desired length.

Important! When depilating with a razor, the hair becomes stiffer, so you will have to wait 10 to 14 days for regrowth. This is necessary for successful and painless sugaring.

Second way: if the location and length of the hairs allow, then you can cut off the excess.

Preparing the skin for sugar hair removal

Preparation for sugaring (thorough cleaning of the skin) is the first stage in preparing for depilation. This must be done to avoid inflammation after the procedure.

How to clean? There are several ways:

professional cleansing lotion before depilation, which will remove impurities and soothe the skin with the most gentle effect;
the lightest possible scrub capable of removing not only the remains of cosmetics and fat, but also those parts of the skin that have already become keratinized.

Second phase - degreasing. It should be carried out so that the paste adheres to the hairs as tightly as possible.

Using talcum powder, you need to treat the area of skin where depilation is planned, and this will be enough.

Psychological preparation for sugaring

If the client’s psychological mood is negative, the pain of the procedure may increase, so before sugaring you need to prepare yourself mentally. What do we have to do:

Don’t think about how unpleasant it will be during depilation, because... thoughts about this will focus attention on the pain and intensify it;
imagine how good hairless skin looks, how pleasant it is to touch, and how attractiveness will increase after the procedure;
forget about embarrassment: salon specialists (if depilation takes place there) constantly work with a variety of parts of the human body, and if everything is hygienically in order, then there is nothing to worry about.

Preparing for sugar hair removal during menstruation

Medical There are no contraindications for sugaring on critical days.

But depending on the individual reactions of the body, on the first and second days of menstruation, some women experience increased pain.

However, by the third and fourth days the pain dulls. Therefore, if possible, it is better to postpone the procedure until this date.

And wherever depilation takes place, it would be better to use a tampon.

Important! If depilation is planned in a salon “these days”, then you need to call the master in advance and clarify, will it work under this condition?

Getting ready for deep bikini sugaring

time: Sugaring of the bikini area is best done between 1 and 3 pm, because during this period the human body is least susceptible to pain;
anesthesia: About an hour before the procedure, it would be good to take an anesthetic tablet;
cooling: if depilation is done at home yourself, then just before it begins, you need to wipe the skin with ice to reduce sensitivity;
pose: again, in the case of a home procedure, a comfortable position plays an important role, in which maximum accessibility to the hairs will open, which means there will be no need to depilate one area of skin several times.

Actions before sugaring your feet

How to prepare for foot sugaring? The skin on the legs is noticeably tougher than on other parts of the body, so before depilation it needs to be softened. Taking a hot bath can help with this.

For the skin of the feet, in terms of cleaning as a preparation stage, it is not necessary to use professional lotions, you can limit yourself to alcohol- a simple and effective method of disinfection.

And since the hairs in this area are stiffer and thicker than in others, more talc must be used.

How to prepare for armpit sugaring?

The skin in the armpit area is very delicate, so it can only be treated with gentle, soft cosmetics.

The hairs here are thin, which means that the degreasing stage will need to be given special attention so that you do not have to depilate the area several times.

And you shouldn’t use a scrub, even the most gentle one, before sugaring. It can damage the skin, and then depilation will have to be postponed.

Before sugaring in the salon
