Everything You Need to Know About Body Sugaring in Calgary

Sugaring is an ancient hair removal treatment with roots in the Middle East, where most of the body hair is removed for hygiene and beauty reasons. Going back to ancient Egypt, we can count Cleopatra's mixture of honey, lemon, and sugar as the first sugar remedy.

Bodywork Sugaring in Calgary consists of wiping the hair with a gel or paste made of sugar, hot water, and lemon. Several wax companies have professional-grade sugar paste made from the same original base ingredients. Sugar paste is thick but malleable and 100% water-soluble.

Sugaring pulls hair at the roots, much like a wax mask, but it's a natural alternative that you can even make at home. Sugaring is one of the most gentle hair removal techniques and can last longer than traditional wax masks if done individually.

How will my skin look and feel?

In short – excellent! Once you try it, you can really taste and see the difference. Small bumps can be a normal histamine response to hair pulling (histamine is a chemical designed to protect you from allergens or aggressors external to your immune system). 

These reactions go away without irritation, allergy, or inflammation if all measures are taken with care. We can't stress it enough: your skin will be soft and smooth like a baby's underwear.

If this is your first sugar session, remember that growth will likely return more quickly; it's always the first time. All subsequent treatments balance your hair growth cycle and weaken the follicles, which means uneven hair growth and thinner hair all the time.
