Waxing Is Therapeutic

It's crazy to think that I find sugaring my legs some what therapeutic. When I am stressed and overwhelmed with too many things to do, I find myself finding the time to pamper myself for a couple of hours and sugar my legs. There is something about removing all the hair on my legs that gives me instant gratifcation.

It does take a while to sugar, especially the first couple of times, but having smooth legs for a couple of weeks is so worth it. Because our hair has different growth cycles I have found the best results when I sugar and than wait a week or two shave and than wait another week or so and shave again and than let them all grow out for a couple of days before I wax again. Doing it this way seems to get a lot more hairs on the same growth cycle so when I sugar, my legs are smoother for a lot longer. Results may vary by person, but this seems to work for me. Sugaring definitely decreases the appearance of hair and your legs won't feel as prickly.

If you have never sugared or been sugared, you really should consider it. I am totally addicted. It makes me feel so good about myself. Besides feeling good, my hubby loves it too.

Sugaring is also great for armpits, arms, bikini, and brazillians. If you get in a sticky mess, just jump in the shower. It washes right off. No more yucky messy wax and strips.

How to Use Sugaring Paste for Hair Removal

I was introduced to sugaring about 6 months ago.  I loved it. If you have ever used hot wax, you can understand how messy and uncomfortable it can be. Don't get me wrong, anything that is going to pull your hair out is going to be a little painful, but sugaring is a lot less messy and to me seems a little less painful. Once you get the hang of it, you can use it on yourself and can save money by not going to the salon all the time. I have put together a little slideshow/video to demonstrate how easy it is to use. The results last a couple of weeks and over time thin out your hair and make them a lot less noticeable.

Sugaring Hair Removal

Do you ever get tired of shaving everyday? Then once you shave you have prickly hairs the next day. About a year ago, I splurged and had my legs and armpits sugared. It was so amazing. I was hooked. The only problem was I couldn't afford to go to the salon all the time. I set out on a quest to figure out how to sugar myself. After lots and lots of recipes and trial and error, I finally got the perfect recipe for success. Sugaring does take some practice it is not an easy thing to do right off the bat, but once you get the hang of it, it's not bad at all. It is so much cleaner than wax. After all, it is made from sugar. Easy to clean up with a little water.

The first time you sugar, if you are removing hair off your whole leg, it could take a couple of hours, but the next time you sugar, it will take a lot less time. You can easily go a couple of weeks between sugaring. Your hair becomes thinner and not as coarse, so a lot less noticeable.

As hard as it will be, it is good to let your hair get a little long. You will have a lot more success and less headache if you let the hair get to be about 1/8 to 1/4 inch long.

The Lavender Spa sugaring paste requires no strips, but uses the flicking method. If you have not done this before, it takes a little practice, but once you get the hang of it, it’s amazing. This method is less painful, less messy (cleans up with water), and a lot better for your skin. With sugaring your hair grows back softer, slower, and finer. Over time you will have less and less hair.

This paste can be used for all areas of the body, such as the legs, arms, underarms, bikini, etc. If you live in a hotter or more humid area I recommend the firmer paste. Also, for warmer areas of the body (underarms, bikini), I recommend using the firmer paste.  Sugar paste is great for all skin types.
