The 3 main differences between waxing and sugaring

Sugaring unwanted facial and body hair requires an entirely different mindset and approach from waxing. For instance, did you know…

1. Alexandria Professional Sugaring products do not adhere to live skin cells…?

This is one of the major differences between sugaring and waxing. Wax products are made of resins that adhere to skin cells. Because wax sticks to any surface it is applied to, pulling it away causes unwarranted pain. Alexandria Professional® sugaring products never adhere to live skin cells on bodies, faces, or legs. Therefore, when it is removed, it only gently exfoliates dead skin cells, leaving behind silky smooth skin.

Additionally, because Alexandria Professional sugaring paste is all-natural and water-soluble, it can be easily rinsed away if needed.

2. Did you know that the Alexandria Professional Sugaring Technique extracts hair in its natural direction of growth?

When waxing, you remove the hair against the natural direction of growth causing undue levels of pain. With Alexandria Professional®’s sugaring method, you only remove the hair in the natural direction of the hair growth. Plus, through the Alexandria sugaring application technique, the sugar paste seeps into the hair follicle. This helps lubricate the hair root regardless of whether it’s on the legs or anywhere else.

These two facts alone make a world of difference in comfort. This is especially important for those of us who have suffered in the past with waxing in sensitive areas.

3. Alexandria Professional sugaring is performed at body temperature. 
 
 
Alexandria Professional® advanced sugar pastes adhere to the hair, not the skin, and lubricate the root for easier extraction from the follicle. Combined with hair removal in the natural direction of growth, AP sugaring means a much more comfortable experience for everyone.

“Is there really a difference between waxing and sugaring?” Yes, quite a bit!

WHAT IS BODY SUGARING EPILATION?

Professional Body Sugaring Skin Epilation is a safe, gentle and effective solution to hair extraction for women, men and children. Advanced Body Sugaring Epilation offers numerous unique and diverse benefits.

The most important advantage is very fundamental: the Alexandria technique and sugar paste formulation extracts the hair in its natural direction of growth while the hair is still in the early growth stage (Anagen stage). This eliminates hair breakage, unnecessary discomfort, irritation and ingrown hairs while exfoliating dry skin cells.

Advantages of Body Sugaring

Pure and Natural Ingredients

Sugaring paste is made from NATURAL INGREDIENTS with no testing on animals and with no harmful side effects caused by allergic reactions. It is so natural you can EAT it!

It Is Not As Hot

The Advanced Sugaring Paste is applied at body temperature making it safe for all areas. It is even safe for spider veins and varicose veins.

It Is Easier To Clean Up

Sugar can be easily cleaned up with water – from both client and clothing. Guests will never feel sticky after treatments.

It Will Not Stick To The Skin

Sugar cannot stick to live skin cells. Live cells are wet, and because sugar is water soluble, it will not adhere to live skin cells.

It Is Environmentally Friendly

The Advanced Sugar Paste can be used over and over on different parts of the body and is discarded after each treatment. It is never used on any other person and the sugar breaks down in landfill with exposure to water. Wax requires constant dipping for each strip applied and the spatulas, used wax and strips never break down.

It Never Dries

Sugar will not dry, so an entire area can be worked over without ever having to walk back to the sugar warmer to dip a spatula or retrieve a strip. Most waxes must be removed immediately before they dry, making the process longer than necessary.

It Will Not Break As Many Hairs

Using the Alexandria Professional Advanced Sugaring Technique, the paste wraps around the hair shaft making it pliable, while seeping below the mouth of the follicle and lubricating the hair to make the extraction more complete and gentle. The hair is eased out of the follicle only in the natural direction of growth, which helps to extract the hair intact. Because of the direction of extraction, the guest feels little, if any, discomfort.

Can Extract Very Short Hairs

The Advanced Sugaring Technique requires less than 1/16 inch or four to seven days of growth, after shaving. Wax products require at least two to three weeks of growth before treatment when a client is shaving.

Leads To Permanency

After a number of treatments, the hair follicle begins to deplete. The hair grows more refined each time. Because sugar can extract the shortest hair, it is possible to extract hair in the early anagen phase, which can lead to permanency. You will see superior results after just a few treatments.
