Sugaring Hair Removal
What is Body Sugaring Hair Removal?
Body sugaring hair removal uses a paste that is 100% natural and made from a combination of sugar, water and lemon juice. The sugar paste is applied against the hair growth and removed with the hair, which results in better hair removal and less pain than waxing. Sugaring has been around for many moons – in fact, it was the hair removal technique used by Cleopatra!
There are no synthetic fragrances in sugar paste, and as it is hypoallergenic, it’s even suitable for those with sensitive skin.
*Hair should be between 5-15mm in order to be removed effectively
*For best results, please do not moisturise on the day of your sugaring appointment

Body sugaring is a hair removal technique using a natural sugar paste made from sugar, water and lemon juice. The paste is heated to just above room temperature and is used to remove the hair by the root. The sugaring technique causes less irritation than hot wax and clients experience fewer ingrown hairs and more permanent hair reduction over time. During the sugaring process, the paste is removed in the same direction as the hair growth to remove hair from the root. Waxing is the opposite which often tears hair just below the surface of the skin. Body sugaring is less painful, less ingrown hairs and has a higher permanent hair reduction rate whilst being vegan and chemical free. There is also far less waste than waxing and nothing to add to landfill as the sugar paste is water soluble. That’s a win for you and a win for the environment too!
Body sugaring works best on hair that is 5-15mm in length, so be sure to let your hair grow out before your appointment.
A day or two before your appointment, gently exfoliate your skin to remove dead skin cells and any buildup.
On the day of your sugaring appointment, avoid applying any lotions or moisturisers to the areas that will be sugared.
Wear loose-fitting clothing that won’t rub against the sugared area after to your appointment to avoid any irritation or discomfort.
Absolutely, body sugaring hair removal is highly suitable for sensitive skin. The natural ingredients in the sugar paste make it hypoallergenic and free from synthetic fragrances, minimizing the risk of skin irritations or allergic reactions. Its gentleness makes it a preferred hair removal method for those with sensitive skin.
For sugaring hair removal to be effective, your hair should ideally be between 5-15mm in length. This length allows the sugar paste to grip the hair properly for an efficient removal process.
It’s advisable not to moisturise your skin on the day of your sugaring appointment. Moisturisers can create a barrier between the skin and the sugar paste, making it less effective at gripping and removing hair.
Many people find body sugaring hair removal less painful compared to traditional waxing. The sugar paste adheres to the hair without sticking to the skin, which means less irritation and discomfort during the hair removal process. Additionally, sugar paste is heated to just above room temperature omitting the heat trauma often experienced with traditional waxing treatments.
Sugaring can indeed help reduce the occurrence of ingrown hairs. By removing hair in the direction of its growth and gently exfoliating the skin, sugaring helps prevent the hair from breaking and becoming ingrown.
The results of body sugaring can last anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle. With regular treatments, the hair regrowth tends to become sparser and finer over time.
Yes, body sugaring hair removal is an eco-friendly hair removal option. The sugar paste is made from natural, biodegradable ingredients that are safe for the environment. Plus we don’t use the strips or chemicals required to remove wax.
Body sugaring can be used safely and effectively on all body parts, including more sensitive areas like the bikini line, underarms, and face. It’s a versatile method suitable for full-body hair removal.
Post-treatment care is essential to ensure the best results and comfort after your body sugaring session. Here are some aftercare tips:
- Hydration: Keep your skin well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Hydrated skin tends to heal faster and stays smoother.
- Avoid Heat: For 24-48 hours after your treatment, avoid saunas, steam rooms, and hot showers to prevent irritation.
- Stay Cool: Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds to prevent skin sensitivity and irritation.
- Gentle Exfoliation: After 48 hours, gently exfoliate the treated area to prevent ingrown hairs.
- Moisturise: Use a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturiser to keep the skin soft and supple.
- Loose Clothing: Wear loose, breathable clothing after your appointment to avoid friction and irritation.
- Avoid Intense Activities: Refrain from high-intensity workouts for a day or two to prevent sweat-induced irritation.
- Touch-ups: Avoid shaving or using other hair removal methods between sugaring appointments.
- Follow-up: Schedule your next appointment based on your hair growth cycle, typically every 4-6 weeks. Your therapist will recommend the ideal time for your individual needs.
