Waxing versus Sugaring, the pros and cons of diffrent waxing methods

Oct. 17, 2011 - PRLog -- Waxing and sugaring are often put in the same category of hair removal because they're somewhat similar in the way they rid hair, ripping it out from the root. Sugaring is the temporary removal of hair using a sugar paste.  The effects of sugaring are similar to waxing but the method differs in its application.

Real sugaring is made up of all natural food ingredients like sugar, lemon juice, water and sometimes essential oils. On the other hand, most waxes are made primarily of resins and contain artificial fragrances, dyes, chemicals, and preservatives. Although you can be allergic to any given ingredient, natural or not, it's more common for people to be allergic to artificial fragrances and ingredients like those found in waxes. Allergic reactions can make skin red, irritated, and break out into a rash.

Sugaring paste is water soluble, meaning you can wash it off with plain old water. But wax needs to be taken off with a special wax remover or baby oil.

Sugaring will only take away dead skin cells, unlike waxing which also removes live skin cells.

Sugaring is ideal for sensitive skins as the sugaring formula does not need to be heated so there's no chance of burning the skin. Wax is applied warm, but sometimes overheated causes a skin burn. A sugaring treatment can take a little longer to provide and this is reflected in higher treatment prices.
