Welcome to Smooth Sailings Body Sugaring
What is Body Sugar?
Body sugaring is an all natural hair removal paste made of just sugar, lemon juice and water. So pure & natural, you can even eat it!
History of Body Sugaring
Did you know that Cleopatra used Body Sugaring as her preferred form of hair removal!?! That’s right!! The hair removal masters themselves, of ancient Egypt, were some of the first to practice the art of Body Sugaring.
What is the Difference Between Body Sugaring & Waxing?
Waxing and sugaring are often grouped together because both techniques lift hair from the root of the hair follicle (supposedly) and have a longer effect on the skin than shaving. But truth be told, they’re two very different techniques.
Typically wax does not remove the hair from the root of the follicle. Wax tends to shrink wrap on the skin, the hair is pulled in the opposite direction of the way the follicle intended it to naturally come out, causing breakage in most cases. Damage is caused to the mouth of the follicle, which can cause the follicle opening to deform, causing ingrown hairs. The biggest issue with waxing is that it removes live skin cells, creating damage to skin, swelling, more pain & healing time.
The trend with waxing right now is to do it as fast as possible because it is so painful. However, using this technique and not following the hair growth patterns causes skin damage, broken hair, ingrown and a painful, unsatisfying & sometimes traumatic experience.
Why Smooth Sailings is Not On Board with Waxing
*Not inert, inviting bacteria growth
*Clients can be burnt
*Not made of natural ingredients
*Can cause hyper-pigmentation due to live skin removal
*Chemical based wax removal products
*Excessive waste
*Skin trauma
*Follicle trauma
*Does a better job of removing our live skin than our hair
*Excessive pain
*Hair breakage
*Not recommended for tattoos
Because of these reasons, it is against my better judgement & training, as a medical aesthetician, to offer any waxing services.
Smooth Sailings offers body Sugaring exclusively.
