Shugaring in cartridges
Shugaring - one of the most common methods of combating unwanted hairs. It can be used both in the most delicate areas, for example, in the bikini area, and in more coarse ones, for example, by removing hair on hands or legs.
Especially convenient is the newfangled shugaring in cartridges. What makes it remarkable and how to make the epilation process more enjoyable - read on.
What it is?
From the name it becomes clear that sugar is used for the technique, placed in a small cartridge. Simply put, it is a mixture sealed in a case that, when heated to a certain temperature (37-40 degrees), will be easily applied using the built-in applicator to your skin.
Kinds
There are three types of shugaring paste in cartridges:
-
Soft It is best used on light skin where the hairs are barely visible. This skin has a heightened sensitivity, and the extra irritation is completely useless.
-
Medium paste for shugaring. This is a universal remedy. It suits many. The optimal length of hairs that need to be removed is from three to five millimeters. Areas that can be treated with this paste include both the groin area and the legs.
-
Dense hard caramel. Typically, this species is used to remove very thick and dense hair. It can be suitable for men or for people of the southern type, where the hair grows particularly thick and has a very thick structure. Of course, after using it, some discomfort may arise, but otherwise it will be difficult to remove lush vegetation.
Composition
In fact, it is easy to prepare such a mixture yourself and at home. If you once bought a cartridge, do not discard it after use. Leave the bottle, and add the mixture that you prepare yourself.
Pasta Recipe:
The main ingredients are sugar, water and lemon juice. Sugar will need no more than ten tablespoons, add water in the ratio of 1 to 10. Lemon will be enough and half.
Pour sugar into iron container, pour in water and squeeze lemon juice. Turn on a small fire and, while constantly stirring, bring the sugar to a completely liquid state. When the mixture becomes caramel and similar in texture, bring it to a boil and leave for 10 minutes. After that, let the solution cool naturally.
To understand that everything is cooked correctly, you need to pinch off a small piece of the total mass. If the substance does not stick to the hands and does not spread, while you are trying to roll a ball out of it, everything is done correctly. If these signs were not found, reheat the mixture again, adding more sugar. If you have a lollipop, then next time you need to add more water.
To achieve the perfect solution can only be through trial and error.
If you are not a professional and carry out hair removal at home with ready-made sugar, you can easily warm up everything in the microwave. Important! Before reheating, be sure to remove the protective film covering the cartridge cap.
For the first time, it is better to start the temperature and duration of heating with a minimum and check more often. Set the defrost mode and gently melt the wax. It usually takes 30-60 seconds. The optimum wax temperature for work does not exceed 40 degrees. The readiness of the paste can be checked on the back of your hand. If you are comfortable - you can start applying, but more on that later.
You can use special waxes. They are of three types - canned, cassette and combined. Accordingly, each of the types is suitable for a particular container containing caramel for shugaring.
Wax waxes are fairly easy to use. You simply place a jar or cartridge in the hole, set the desired temperature and adjust the time. Periodically check the readiness of the paste, and when the temperature is right, lower the temperature regulator to the minimum mark and leave the cartridge inside to prepare the skin at this time.
Water bath is also suitable for heating. Put the water container on fire and place the cartridge in it. The flame must be small, it is impossible to bring water to a boil, otherwise the cartridge may melt.
If you bought a very large container, it is not necessary to warm the entire contents. Divide the mass into several parts and distribute the vessels. So you can reheat the right amount.
Tips and Tricks
Of course, with each new heating paste will become more and more hard, eventually turning into amber. Under the influence of temperatures from the paste leaves the water that can soften the tool. When moisture does not remain, you cannot use a cartridge. That is why it is best to divide the original paste into parts if you know that you may not have time to treat the zone or you simply do not need so much money.
