How to make shugaring at home

Sugar hair removal, or shugaring, is considered the most painless and safe way to get rid of excess vegetation on the body. The composition of the paste consists of only natural ingredients such as granulated sugar, citric acid and water. The product can be purchased in the cosmetic department or cook yourself at home. The main feature of shugaring is considered to be the absence of irritation, for this reason it is possible to put on open clothes almost immediately after the procedure. Consider the important aspects in order.

Pain when shugaring

Each person is individual, so it is difficult to answer for sure what the pain during a shugaring specifically depends on. However, there is a basic list that is worth paying attention to.

1. First of all, pain depends on the menstrual cycle in women. If possible, perform the procedure for 2-3 days after the last phase.
2. Another fundamental is the time of day and the biorhythm of the person (all purely individually). If possible, do shugaring late in the evening or at night, when the peak of pain activity is reduced to zero.
3. The individual pain threshold and psycho-emotional state of the patient are two main factors that must be considered.
4. It is worth noting that the temperature of the prepared composition also affects the pain.Ideal sugar paste should not burn the skin or, on the contrary, be excessively cold.
5. No matter how ridiculous it may sound, but alcohol is a great helper for people with a high pain threshold. Alcohol acts like an anesthetic, it “freezes” discomfort.

Allergy sugaring

As mentioned earlier, shugaring is one of the most painless and safe types of epilation. This feature is achieved due to the fact that hair is removed in the direction of their growth, and not vice versa (as is the case with vasking).

By and large, the technology is designed for all; however, extreme caution is necessary if you have an individual intolerance to one of the components (sugar, citric acid). For people with allergies, there is the option of using a composition based on fructose and glucose (sold in a cosmetics store).
Carefully read the column "Composition", it should not contain any components unknown to you, fragrances, dyes.

Shugaring technology

The most common question is “How to shugaring correctly?”. We will try to answer it in detail.

1. Before proceeding to the procedure, the skin must be prepared. To do this, use the purchase or home scrubs, remove dead particles.
2. After peeling, wipe the area of ​​epilation with a wet cloth, act against the growth of hair.
3. If possible, use a serum intended for skin care before the shugaring procedure. Such components reduce pain and open pores for easy removal of hairs from the root.
4. After careful preparation, the sugar paste is applied against the growth of hair with the hands or spatula, then the hairs are removed in the direction of growth. Such a course prevents further ingrowth, does not break off the hairs during removal, reduces the size of the bulbs. Also, the epidermis is not subjected to stress, due to which there is completely no irritation, and further hair growth slows down.
5. In cases where there is a need to process several areas at a time, move from top to bottom. Take a new paste every time for a separate zone.

Important!
Within 12 hours after shugaring, stop visiting a solarium, sunbathing, or scrubbing procedures.It is also not recommended to go to the pool and do heavy exercise. If you want to make a peeling, use a massage mitten, which is sold in any cosmetic store.

As practice shows, after the removal of excess vegetation, a repeated procedure will be required only after 15–20 days. At the same time, the duration of the procedure is relatively short (1-1.5 hours).

How to make sugar paste for single use

The following components are designed for one procedure.

• citric acid - 30 gr. (approximately 2 tsp.)
• granulated sugar (preferably cane) - 65 g. (6 tsp.)
• Purified warm water - 50 ml.

1. Start by making a syrup. Place granulated sugar in an enameled saucepan with a thick bottom, top with water.
2. Put on a slow fire, mix with a wooden spatula throughout the cooking of the syrup. Gradually, the composition will acquire a caramel shade. Once all the granules have melted and the first bubbles appear, turn off the stove.
3. Take a shallow bowl, do a viscosity test: pour 20 ml.cold water, scoop some sugar paste and drip on a plate. Drop should not spread, wait until it hardens.
4. If you did everything right, turn on the fire again, heat the composition and pour in citric acid. Mix thoroughly, bring the paste to homogeneity. Turn off the burner, cover with a lid.
5. Leave the mixture to cool to room temperature under natural conditions. Do not use the freezer or the refrigerator in any case.

Important!
Carefully follow the consistency, the composition should not harden much (to the state of the tree). Ideally cooked pasta slowly flows down from the spoon, and in some cases does not flow at all, remaining viscous.

How to make sugar paste for multiple use

Since the above recipe is designed for one session, it would be better to bring the technique of preparation of the composition for repeated use. As the technologies differ, consider the steps step by step.

• granulated sugar (beet or reed) - 1 kg.
• filtered water - 240 ml. (8 tsp.)
• citric acid - 105-110 gr. (7 tbsp. L)

1. Take a thick-walled nonstick pan, pour in water, add granulated sugar and citric acid, mix.
2. Turn on the stove to maximum power, bring the mass to a boil and reduce the heat to the middle mark. Constantly stir the mass, collect it from the walls to prevent burning.
3. When the first bubbles appear, mix the syrup thoroughly again, reduce the power to the minimum, cover the container with a lid, wait 7-10 minutes. After the time has elapsed, mix again, close, and leave for another 10 minutes.
4. When the mass becomes brownish and the characteristic smell of caramel appears, add heat, boil a little. The composition will begin to foam, lose its saturation, becoming colorless. After this action, open the lid, reduce heat, hold the paste on the stove for about 5 minutes.
5. The average cooking time for sugar paste is about half an hour. At the end of the manipulation, leave the mixture to cool at room temperature, at the first sign of density, pour into a convenient container of plastic or glass with a resealable lid.
6. The given composition cools after cooking for about 3-4 hours, then it can be used. The pot in which the pasta was cooked, you need to immediately wash. The masses in such quantities will last for 3-4 months of constant use.
7. Store the product in a warm, dry place, before use, preheat the paste in a microwave or in a water bath in small portions.

Important!
There are cases when in the process of cooking the mass turns out to be excessively thick. If you are faced with this feature, add to the composition of 30-50 ml. warm filtered water, boil and cool again.
