We’ve loved sugaring since 2012, but there are still so many people that don’t know about it! If you want to know the difference between sugaring and waxing, read this blog post.

Ready for your first appointment? Here’s what to do.

Grow hair — Allow 10-14 days of hair growth, or about the length of a rain of rice for treatment.

Hold the exfoliation — Exfoliation is key between appointments to maintain smooth skin, but please don’t exfoliate 48 hours before or after your appointment. This includes AHAs, BHAs, scrubs, and especially retinol/retinoids. **Do not use a prescription retinoid for at least 7 days before any facial sugaring.

Hydration – Keep the skin hydrated before and after your appointment for skin health and the most effective treatment.

No sun exposure – Avoid the sun 3-5 days before your appointment. Wear SPF and a hat, always! If you arrive with a sunburn, you will not be able to receive your treatment as the skin is healing. Avoid the sun for at least 3 days post treatment as the skin can be more prone to burning. ( Ideally, you’re always wearing SPF daily!) Read SPF benefits and 6 things you should know here.

Bikini/Brazilian — Please arrived showered and with clean underwear to wear post-treatment if desired. Hair that is not too short or too long is essential for a more effective and comfortable treatment.

Important post care — Avoid exercise, swimming, sauna, sun exposure and sex (bikini / brazilian) for 48 hours after treatment. This keeps the treated area dry, clean and prevents the risk of infection.
