HOW TO
Prep Your Legs & Arms
Woohoo! Let’s get sugaring...but first, follow this sugar prep list before showtime.
Make sure it’s safe to sugar your body.
If you have delicate skin, I recommend doing a spot test first.
Make sure your skin is clean, dry, and at room temperature.
Thoroughly wash your body of any moisturizers and oils, then wait about 10 minutes before you
start sugaring.
TIP: Exfoliate 48
hours ahead of sugaring to really make sure your skin is clean.
Check your hair length + trim if needed.
If your hair is too long to tell which direction it’s actually growing (usually over 1/4″),
grab some electric trimmers with a guard on them and trim your hair down so it’s short enough
to see how it naturally lays.
NOTE: If hair is too
long you’ll experience a tug during application that feels like pinching. It’s not fun.
Make sure you’re in a cool room with the AC running.
Sugar paste is very picky and requires a cool room or else it will have a meltdown
(literally). Try to have a fan close by you for your first few sessions
Set up your space.
I recommend having a towel to sit on, a side dish to set down your applicator or used wax,
and a damp face towel to help with sticky hands.
Play with your sugar! Get comfortable.
Don’t rush through this step – sugaring looks simple on video but controlling your sugar can
be very tricky at first. Getting the feel for the sugar without the pressure of waxing will
make you feel less nervous and sweaty (the kiss of death for sugaring) once you start.
Prep...check!
Now it's showtime.
