Shugaring hands

In order to meet the standards of beauty, women resort to a wide variety of cosmetic procedures. Well-groomed hands are one of the necessary conditions for feminine charm. Sometimes for this you have to remove unwanted hairs on your hands. The use of razors or special creams sometimes leads to the opposite result: after a while the hair appears even more. Modern cosmetologists consider shugaring the optimal solution to this problem.

Shugaring is hair removal with the help of sugar candy.

During the procedure, hair can be removed both up to the elbow and completely from the entire surface of the hands (with the exception of the armpits).

During sugar epilation, the pasta components fall into the hair follicle, which allows the hair not to break, but to be completely removed. The advantage of sugar hair removal is the fact that the paste does not cause any harm to the upper layer of the epidermis, but only fights with hairs. This procedure helps to remove even ingrown hairs.

Quite often, women who have light, but long hair are afraid to clean it, worrying that later they will grow darker, tighter and longer. This opinion is wrong. With the help of shugaring, hair is removed along with hair follicles, as a result of which subsequent hairs become thinner and thinner. The hair color is completely unchanged. It will be darker only if the original hair was sunburned or bleached by any means.

The technique of shugaring is quite simple. It is quite possible to make it to yourself by following the step by step instructions.

The whole process must begin with cleansing the skin of the hands. As a scrub, as an option, use ordinary instant coffee. After cleansing the skin with a scrub, take a warm shower for additional opening of the pores.

In order to protect the skin from irritation, you can use baby powder, but some women, on the contrary, it only hinders. So it is up to you.

Next, you need to prepare the paste. If you use ready-made, then it is carefully kneaded until it no longer sticks to your fingers. Then form a small ball and roll on the surface of the hand against the growth of hair. Then you need to wait a bit. At this time there is a feeling of tightness of the skin. After that, the caramel in the direction of hair growth must be sharply torn off. It is very important to hold the skin, it will significantly reduce pain.

A used piece of sugar paste is again required to knead and either re-apply on the same area (if there are still hairs), or go to another area.

Should know that Paste is applied to dry and clean skin, otherwise the hair removal will not work. After completion of the procedure, the hands must be washed with warm water.

Performing shugaring in the cabin has several advantages. There it will take less time, be less painful and of better quality.

Pain can be minimized if:

• get the paste of the right consistency;
• apply the paste on the skin without exerting any pressure;
• to hold the skin, applying the tool and removing it;
• remember the technique of the procedure;
• use baby powder or talc;
• carry out the procedure in the evening, when the pain is transferred much easier;
• do not overheat the paste;
• depilation is best done 2 days after the end of the menstrual cycle - this is the moment of the lowest sensitivity threshold.

If the pain and then cause discomfort, you can try to apply anesthetic creams based on prilocain and lidocaine. This cream is required to be applied to the treated skin an hour before shugaring. A hand with a cream is wrapped in food film, and immediately before the procedure, the film is removed, the skin is treated with an alcohol solution and the epilation process begins.

The composition of home-made shugaring paste includes 10 spoons of sugar, 1 spoon of water, 1 spoon of lemon juice. It is possible to replace the ingredients: lemon juice - on apple cider vinegar, sugar - on honey, water on decoctions of medicinal herbs (mint, sage, chamomile). It is important to know that the paste must be cooked in stainless steel utensils - enamel or teflon for these purposes will not work. When cooking the composition must be constantly stirring, bringing it to thickening (the composition should be like clay).

Incorrect hand placement can lead to fatigue, which reduces the speed of the jerk when the sugar film is removed. This impairs the quality of work.

When properly set, the hand is placed at an angle of 90 degrees. Fingers need to be slightly rounded (associations with an apple in a fist). When applying the composition, the brush in the wrist should be as relaxed as possible. While working with the paste, the fingers are grouped into one plane. The hand performs the function of a spatula and is used as a working tool.

Hand skin care involves the use of alcohol-based soothing lotions, coconut oil, and moisturizing creams. It is recommended to disinfect the treated area with bactericidal agents; if irritation appears, use antiseptics.

On the first day after the procedure, it is advised:

• Do not swim in open ponds or pools;
• do not use the steam room in the bath or sauna;
• do not play sports;
• do not sunbathe (in the open sun or in the solarium);
• Do not use pore clogging cosmetics.

Consequences of irritation after shugaring may occur with increased skin sensitivity, non-compliance with the process technology, violations of the hygienic requirements by a cosmetologist or patient, and repeated treatment of the same area.

Painful manifestations in the form of acne are due to the specifics of the skin. Dry skin may cause flaking or prickly heat. To prevent such a problem, it is necessary to moisturize the skin the day before the session. If irritation occurs, use a healing ointment or spray. "Panthenol". Due to the reduced immunity due to the resulting stress, a herpes rash can occur.She is treated with chlorhexidine antiseptic, additionally treating the skin with chamomile or calendula tincture. With the appearance of purulent pimples (furunculosis), it is required to periodically process inflammations and pustules with salicylic or boric acid with a frequency of 2-3 hours.

Acne after shugaring appears in about 10% of clients (during the procedure in the salon) and in 20% (for home use).It is very important to properly stretch the skin before tearing off the sugar film, since insufficient skin tension can injure it, tear off hairs, cause their subsequent growth. Microtrauma treated soothing lotions. When ingrown hairs appear, compresses with ichthyol ointment are used. The ulcers in the place of such hairs are closed with a compress with this ointment for the night, and after that with the help of a disinfected needle the hairs are brought out. Regardless of the location of the epilation, it is imperative to comply with the hygiene requirements and technology of using sugar paste.

1. Errors paste removal technology. It should be removed quickly and parallel to the skin or in the opposite direction of hair growth.
2. Repeated use of pasta in the same place. This can be done no more than 2 times.
3. The location of the blood vessels. If they are located very close to the skin surface, then it is necessary to consult a doctor, as in some cases there are contraindications for this cosmetic procedure.
