Foot shugaring

Every woman wants to be beautiful and like those around her, and the smooth skin of her legs helps not only to look great, but also to feel more confident. It is much more pleasant to wear a skirt, knowing that your legs look perfect, rather than constantly worrying about unwanted hair grown on them. Currently, for the fair sex there are many methods of removing hair from the legs: razor, wax, electric epilator, laser removal, and others. The greatest demand now is sugar hair removal - shugaring of the legs.

Hair removal with the help of a sweet mixture is one of the most effective and efficient ways to get rid of unwanted leg vegetation. It helps to forget about the problem for several weeks, up to a month. The use of sugar syrup makes the procedure as painless as possible (as much as possible). High-quality product removes the dead epidermis from the surface and nourishes the skin of the legs. Another advantage is the availability of components to create a sugar mixture on their own. Such procedures can be carried out at home, which puts shugaring on one level with the most popular types of epilation.

It is worth noting that this method has its drawbacks: shugaring is a rather expensive service, and performing this procedure at home takes about an hour on average. With a regular razor, everything works much faster. Another significant drawback is that the necessary length of hair is necessary for the first procedure. This means that it will take some time to grow hair, wear closed clothes and not go to places where legs should be bare. It is quite possible that for the first time you will not be able to carry out this procedure yourself, so it’s worth preparing for spoiled materials and nerves spent.

Getting rid of hair on your legs with sugar paste is a painless way, but women who are extremely sensitive to pain may become irritated due to discomfort, skin irritation. If we talk about the strength of these sensations, then they clearly can not be compared with those that arise during the removal of hair with the help of wax, and therefore shugaring is a more popular procedure.

• Before shugaring you should stop shaving your legs and let your hair grow back. For the first procedure, the length of hair should be from three to five millimeters, but not more than seven. It usually takes a week to grow, but this is individual and depends on the characteristics of the organism.
• To contribute to a better fit of the paste to the skin, you must first take a shower or bath, steam out your feet a little and get rid of the horny particles. For better skin cleansing, use soap or shower gel.
• It is better to use the scrub the day before, and not on the day of the procedure, because the scrub can scratch the skin, which in the future will lead to irritation. The diligent rubbing with a washcloth can also lead to such consequences, so it is better to keep track of your movements and do everything as carefully as possible so that you do not have to endure the shugaring procedure (and so that the hair does not grow too much during this time).
• Feet should be disinfected using a cotton pad with a lotion containing alcohol (or any other degreaser). This will help prevent infections and reduce the risk of irritation. With talcum powder or baby powder, you can get rid of moisture and go directly to the shugaring itself.

To prepare the skin of the legs you will need an antiseptic preparation and talc, which has already been noted earlier. To complete the procedure itself, it is worthwhile to have on hand the following tools and materials:

• disposable gloves - for hygiene and convenience when working with sugar paste;
• scapula - to apply the paste on the required areas;
• cream - to eliminate irritation, to nourish the skin;
• hair growth retardant - so that the effect of shugaring is fixed and lasts longer;
• fabric strips - in case of difficulties with the removal of the sugar mixture from the legs;
• sugar paste - necessarily the right consistency and with the right proportions of ingredients.

Popular "shugaring professionals" who have a great experience and a lot of positive reviews, but for beginners it’s quite difficult to build up their own customer base. It is clear that if possible, refer to the first category of professionals. Firstly, they will provide you with a quality service, and secondly - they will do everything neatly and quickly.

Shugaring can be done at home. After pre-treatment of the legs and preparation for the procedure, apply the ready-mix paste to one of the areas where hair removal is required. Sugar paste necessarily applied against the growth of hair - for better distribution over the surface and prevent ingrowth of hair. The mixture must be carefully spread over the area to be able to capture as much hair as possible.

How to do shugaring legs at home, see the following video.

This procedure takes about thirty minutes from the master, about an hour at home (taking into account that both legs will be processed). When it was possible to do shugaring for the first time, it may take a couple of hours to two.

On average, after shugaring, hair begins to grow after two to three weeks. The effect lasts at different times - taking into account the structure of the hair and the quality of the leg skin care measures (immediately after the procedure). When using professional cosmetics for skin care lack of hair growth can be extended up to four weeks.

The term is influenced by the individual characteristics of the organism. It should be remembered that people of different nationalities have different hair with stiffness and lightness. In women with hormonal disruption, hair can grow rapidly. Someone is slower than other representatives of the same nationality.

When the skin is very sensitive, redness may occur. Red spots on the skin will disappear in a few hours, maximum - the next day. Red dots or an unpleasant sensation when the legs itch are all the results of hypersensitivity or manifested allergies (for example, sugar). Such effects usually remain a maximum of a couple of days.

The wrong direction to remove the paste or poor-quality mixture can be causes of hair ingrowth. Hair grows into the skin, and in the future it is much more difficult to remove them. Ingrown hair after unsuccessful procedures appear very often. If the paste was removed with insufficiently abrupt movements, bruises and bruises may appear on the legs.

To extend the smoothness of the legs after the procedure is necessary to carefully care for the skin. The main methods of care are:

• skin disinfection using disinfectants;
• soothing and moisturizing procedures (smear with special creams);
• foot skin care so that the pores are not blocked;
• hygiene.

It turns out that with elementary hygiene, all that remains is to treat the skin with a cream that needs to be applied a couple of times a day.

Contraindications include wounds or scratches, skin diseases and varicose veins (varicose veins in the legs). Moles, warts - all of these are the reasons for refusing shugaring. Papillomas are also included in the list of contraindications. You can not carry out the procedure and diabetes of the first or second type, with infections (especially acute), heart disease and allergies to one of the components of the sugar paste.

Who and when sugar epilation is contraindicated you will learn from the following video.

Pregnancy is also referred to as a contraindication, since even banal skin irritation is undesirable during such a crucial period. At week 38, an increased morbidity of the procedure is noted, which may adversely affect the future baby. During breastfeeding, it is worth refusing sugar epilation if the procedure feels painful - this can lead to the cessation of lactation (loss of milk).

During the first days after the procedure, you can not do the following:

• sunbathe, whether it is the sun or a equipped solarium;
• take a bath with hot water;
• do sport;
• use cosmetics that can clog pores;
• wear synthetic clothing, tight to the legs;
• to visit pools, saunas, baths (especially public ones).

Many women are frankly happy to use shugaring for epilating their legs. Those who are against this method point out their pronounced sensitivity, manifested allergies or a decent price (if you pay attention to the need to perform the procedure every two to three weeks).

Many representatives of the weaker sex prefer shugaring of legs, considering this procedure to be convenient and modern. At the same time, almost everyone reports that they were afraid to go to their first appointment with the master, and the first attempt to make hair removal at home did not bring any benefit. Experience and patience have brought women success in self-conducting procedure shugaring.
