The hair removal industry has been booming over the last decade - clients are spending more and more money on removing unwanted hair - in fact, according to Lucy Peters, hair removal is the 4th most popular minimally-invasive procedure performed!
We have heard from many clients recently about sugaring - the age-old hair removal process that dates back to the times of the ancient Egyptians or before. Many of our clients are interested, some swear by it, and it has piqued our interest too!
This ancient sugar hair removal technique has been used for centuries in the Orient to remove body hair. Made of all-natural products without preservatives or additives gives this formulation the advantage of being water soluble and suitable for all hair removal areas, including facial hair.
Body sugaring is a natural exfoliant that removes dead cells and is worked in the same direction as natural hair growth. This results in a significant reduction of ingrown hairs right from first application until their complete elimination. This is a technique that is different than waxing; it doesn’t require cotton strips and a small amount of sugar can cover a large body area. This hair removal technique is perfect to prevent the risks of cross-contamination, in part because there is no repetitive dipping into the container during the same treatment. The use of gloves is recommended and easy to use making it a pleasant and hygienic service.
Epillyss, the world-renowned wax manufacturer, has now released a line of Sugar Paste to their product lineup! A gentle treatment with a water soluble product, all formulations offered are made of sugar, lemon juice and water, and do not contain chemical additives.
The Épillyss sugar is applied at body temperature; it only adheres to the hair and not to the skin and ensures a comfortable application and gentle removal. We must spread the paste on the area of hair removal in a back and forth movement and remove with a dry and quick flick of the hand to remove the hair follicle. You must choose the formulation that will suit you; your choice will be done largely depending on the temperature of your hand. Indeed, as the application is done with the fingertips, this will have a great influence on the texture of the sugar paste during application. A cold hand will require a more flexible paste, hot hands will require a harder paste.
