Sugaring legs

Every woman wants to be beautiful and to be liked by others, and smooth skin of the legs helps not only to look great, but also to feel more confident. It is much more pleasant to put on a skirt knowing that your legs look perfect than to constantly worry about unwanted hair growing on them. Currently, for the fair sex, there are many methods for removing hair from the legs: a razor, wax, an electric epilator, laser removal, and others. The greatest demand now is for sugar hair removal - shugaring of the legs.

Hair removal with a sweet mixture is one of the most effective and effective ways to get rid of unwanted leg hair. It helps to forget about the problem for several weeks, up to a month. The use of sugar syrup makes the procedure as painless as possible (as far as possible).A high-quality product removes dead epidermis from the surface and nourishes the skin of the legs. Another plus is the availability of components for creating a sugar mixture on your own. Such procedures can be carried out at home, which puts shugaring on a par with the most popular types of hair removal.

It should be noted that this method has its drawbacks: Sugaring is a rather expensive service, and performing such a procedure at home takes an average of about an hour. With a regular razor, everything turns out much faster. Another significant disadvantage is that the desired length of hair is required for the first procedure. This means that you will have to grow your hair for some time, wear closed clothes and not go to places where your legs should be bare. It is quite possible that for the first time you will not be able to carry out this procedure yourself, so you should prepare for damaged materials and spent nerves.

Getting rid of leg hair with sugar paste is a painless way, but women who are extremely sensitive to pain can become irritated due to discomfort, skin irritation. If we talk about the strength of these sensations, then they clearly cannot be compared with those that occur during hair removal with wax, and therefore sugaring is a more popular procedure.

• Before shugaring stop shaving your legs and let the hairs grow back. For the first procedure, the length of the hair should be from three to five millimeters, but not more than seven. Usually growing takes a week, but this is individual and depends on the characteristics of the body.
• To help the paste adhere better to the skin, you must first take a shower or bath, steam your legs a little and get rid of dead skin particles. For better cleansing of the skin, use soap or shower gel.
• It is better to use a scrub the day before, and not on the day of the procedure, because the scrub can scratch the skin, which in the future will lead to its irritation. Diligent rubbing with a washcloth can also lead to similar consequences, so it’s better to monitor your movements and do everything as carefully as possible so that you don’t have to endure the sugaring procedure (and so that your hair doesn’t grow too much during this time).
• Need to sanitize your feet using a cotton pad with a lotion containing alcohol (or any other degreaser). This will help eliminate infections and reduce the risk of irritation. With the help of talc or baby powder, you can get rid of moisture and go directly to the sugaring itself.

To prepare the skin of the legs, you will need an antiseptic preparation and talc, which has already been noted earlier. To complete the procedure itself, it is worth having the following tools and materials on hand:

• disposable gloves - for hygiene and convenience when working with sugar paste;
• shoulder blade - for applying paste to the required areas;
• cream - to eliminate irritation, to nourish the skin;
• hair growth retardant - so that the effect of shugaring is fixed and lasts longer;
• fabric strips - in case of difficulties with the removal of the sugar mixture from the legs;
• sugar paste - be sure to have the right consistency and with the right proportions of ingredients.

“Shugaring professionals” are popular, having a long experience and a lot of positive reviews, but it is quite difficult for novice masters to develop their own customer base. It is clear that, if possible, it is worth contacting the first category of specialists. Firstly, you will be provided with a quality service, and secondly, everything will be done neatly and quickly.

Sugaring can also be done at home. After preliminary treatment of the legs and preparation for the procedure, apply the prepared paste mixture to one of the areas where hair removal is required. Sugar paste must be applied against hair growth - for better distribution over the surface and to prevent ingrown hairs. The mixture must be thoroughly smeared over the area in order to capture as much hair as possible.

How to do leg shugaring at home, see the following video.

This procedure takes about thirty minutes at the master, about an hour at home (taking into account that both legs will be processed). When I had a chance to do sugaring for the first time, it may take one and a half to two hours.

On average, after sugaring, hair begins to grow after two to three weeks. The effect lasts for a different time - taking into account the structure of the hair and the quality of the measures taken to care for the skin of the legs (immediately after the procedure). When using professional skin care cosmetics, the absence of hair growth can be extended up to four weeks.

The period is also influenced by the individual characteristics of the organism. It should be remembered that people of different nationalities have hair that differs in stiffness and degree of lightness. In women with hormonal disruption, hair can grow vigorously. For some, this happens more slowly than for other representatives of the same nationality.

When the skin is very sensitive, redness may appear. Red spots on the skin will disappear in a few hours, maximum - the next day. Red dots or an unpleasant sensation when the legs itch are all the results of hypersensitivity or an allergy (for example, to sugar). Such effects usually remain for a maximum of a couple of days.

Wrong direction of removal of the paste or a poor-quality mixture can be the causes of ingrown hairs. Hair grows into the skin, and in the future it is much more difficult to remove them. Ingrown hairs after unsuccessful procedures appear very often. If the removal of the paste was carried out with insufficiently sharp movements, then bruises and bruises may appear on the legs.

To prolong the smoothness of the legs after the procedure, it is necessary to carefully care for the skin. The main types of care are:

• skin disinfection with disinfectants;
• soothing and moisturizing procedures (smear with special creams);
• foot skin care so that the pores are not clogged;
• hygiene.

It turns out that with elementary hygiene, all that remains is to treat the skin with a cream, which must be applied a couple of times a day.

Contraindications include the presence of wounds or scratches, skin diseases and varicose veins (dilated veins in the legs). Moles, warts - all these are reasons to refuse shugaring. Papillomas are also included in the list of contraindications. You can not carry out the procedure with diabetes mellitus of the first or second type, with infections (especially acute), heart disease and allergies to one of the components of sugar paste.

To whom and when sugar hair removal is contraindicated, you will learn from the following video.

Pregnancy is also referred to as contraindications, since even banal skin irritation is undesirable in such a crucial period. At week 38, there is an increased soreness of the procedure, which can adversely affect the unborn baby.During the period of breastfeeding, it is worth abandoning sugar hair removal if the procedure is painful - this can lead to the cessation of lactation (loss of milk).

During the first day after the procedure, you can not do the following:

• sunbathe, whether it be the sun or an equipped solarium;
• take a bath with hot water;
• do sport;
• use cosmetics that can clog pores;
• wear synthetic clothing that fits snugly around the legs;
• visit swimming pools, saunas, baths (especially public ones).

Many women are frankly glad to be able to use shugaring for leg hair removal. Those who are against this method indicate in their shortcomings their pronounced sensitivity, manifested allergies or a decent price (if you pay attention to the need to perform the procedure every two to three weeks).

Many representatives of the weaker sex prefer leg shugaring, considering this procedure convenient and modern. At the same time, almost everyone reports that they were afraid to go to their first appointment with the master, and the first attempt to do hair removal at home did not bring any benefit. Experience and patience have brought women success in carrying out the sugaring procedure on their own.
