Body Sugar vs. Wax
Alexandria Body Sugaring products do not contain
petrochemicals, resins, or preservatives. It is made with a special mixture of sugar, lemon, and water.
Body Sugar is warm, not hot. Hot wax can burn the skin and cause tissue to swell, making hair removal difficult.
Body Sugar is only warm; you'll never burn your skin.
Body Sugar won't stick
to live skin cells. It removes dead skin cells so it also exfoliates your skin during the treatment.
Wax adheres directly to the skin cells, which makes waxing painful and irritating.
Wax cannot be applied
to an area more than twice. Body Sugar can be used over and over again in the same area to remove stubborn hairs.
Body Sugar rinses off easily with water. Wax residue must be removed with either chemicals or heavy oils.
Body Sugar leaves skin smooth and silky!
Is the Process
of Hair Removal Permanent?
After a number of treatments
the hair folicle begins to deplete. The hair grows in more refined each time. Sugaring hair in the anagen
phase of growth can lead to permanency. Body Sugaring promotes permanent hair removal and is a great partner
to Electrolysis which is permanent. Body Sugaring offers distinctive advantages over alternative methods
of depilation.
Preparing Your Skin for Treatment
Regular
hydrating and exfoliating your skin between sugaring treatments is important. You will receive the best results
if your skin is healthy.
Length of Hair
For your first treatment,
please allow hair to grow 5-7 days prior to your appointment or approx ¼ inch of growth. Hair being removed for
the first time may be more resistent. With repeated treatments the root becomes smaller and hair will remove more
easily.
Important:Do not expose the skin to sun 24 hours prior
to your appointment; we cannot treat skin that is sunburned.
After Your Treatment
Please do not allow sun exposure, perfumed soaps
and products with chemical irritants on sugared skin for 24 hours after treatment.
Do not apply deodorant
to underarms and if possible avoid make-up for 12 hours after a sugaring treatment. (Mineral makeup is an exception)
Tight clothing under the arms after sugaring can irritate the skin.
