When you think of hair removal you probably think of shaving or waxing. Or maybe epliation, or something more permanent like electrolysis or IPL?
But have you heard of sugaring?
The Neanderthals, Persians, Romans, Indians and Egyptians all removed parts or all their body hair - albeit by slightly more natural means
Sugar waxing is an ancient natural hair removal technique which originated in the Middle East. It's similar to waxing, in that you apply the 'sugar wax' to the skin and remove with a waxing strip. But here's where it's different:
- Sugaring does not remove live skin so unlike waxing, sugaring does not hurt the skin.
- Sugar wax is made from natural ingredients which can be cleaned easily with water - so you're not going to be stuck (literally) trying to remove wax from your skin or surfaces.
- Sugar wax only needs to be lukewarm to use - no risk of burning here!
- Sugaring is less painful as hair is pulled in the same direction as the growth, unlike waxing.
We're putting Aio's Waxing Body Sugar to the test. This kit contains the sugar wax, wax strips and spatulas - all you need for up to 8 weeks of fuzz free skin! It's perfect for all body areas.
Aio's Waxing Sugar will only stick to the hair, so you won't be left with sore or red skin. It's natural as with no artificial preservatives or petroleum by-products, making it great for those with sensitive skin. And if it's used regularly you'll see a reduction in hair growth.
So is this a trial team you'd be interested in joining? Why? Have you tried sugaring before or is it something you've never heard of before? Why do you think it would benefit your skin?
Get chatting below - we might just send you this lovely product to try and report back on!
Fasinating! I'd be very interested to try this, I wax all the time, whether at home or at the salon I always have a little bit of a breakout on my legs, it goes away after a day or so but I'd love to see whether sugar waxing would give me a better result.
