Brazilian Waxing Goes Organic

If you are a green-minded naturalist looking to find ways to use unadulterated products for your hygiene, just say, "pour some sugar on me!" Sugar waxing, or "sugaring," is quickly becoming a desired method when it comes to Brazilian waxing.



Sugaring uses sugar wax instead of the honey wax traditionally used in a Brazilian wax procedure. The concoction of sugar, lemon juice and water is 100 percent natural and is safe for most sensitive skin and skin conditions.



More and more clients are seeking sugar hair removal instead of a traditional Brazilian wax because it is often less painful. The sugar wax is not required to be heated which results in less discomfort and damage to the skins surface.



The warm sugar gel is designed to adhere to the hair, not the skin, thereby minimizing painful tugs on this sensitive region. Furthermore, estheticians trained in sugar waxing pull in the same direction as the hair growth to alleviate trauma to the skin. The sugar waxing procedure is typically done in the earliest stage of hair growth (called the anagen stage), unlike traditional Brazilian waxing that calls for some hair length for proper adhesion of the wax. Regrowth is often slower and finer when hair is removed at an early stage.



An added benefit to a sugar Brazilian wax is that sugar is a natural antiseptic, making it a very sanitary procedure. The sugar mixture also cannot adhere to living skin cells which makes it a safe Brazilian wax procedure for those who suffer from eczema or psoriasis.



As with any waxing procedure, cleanliness is essential. Estheticians practicing the sugar Brazilian wax should keep the sugar solution in separate containers and should never double-dip-which is also a taboo in traditional Brazilian waxing. An added bonus? It's water-soluble and easy to remove from skin and clothing.
