You’ll know your sugar paste is completely spent when it loses flexibility and stickiness, and is fully covered in hairs and dead skin cells, often changing color from golden to light yellow.
This type of sugar paste should not be recovered; instead, dispose of it and continue the hair removal treatment with a fresh piece of sugar paste.
REASONS FOR SPENT SUGAR PASTE
Excessive hair absorption can prevent the sugar paste from adhering to new hairs. Long or dense hairs are common culprits in causing the sugar paste to lose elasticity. To avoid this, it’s advisable to trim hairs before the treatment.
We recommend scheduling oriental epilation appointments every 4 to 6 weeks. With consistent treatment, the process becomes more comfortable as hairs gradually thin over time.
Dry skin types tend to have more dead skin cells, which the sugar paste will remove along with hairs, functioning as a natural scrub. However, the more dead skin cells the paste absorbs, the sooner it reaches its limit. You can help prolong the paste’s effectiveness by exfoliating a few days before your treatment.
Similar to dead skin cells, excessive body powder can saturate the sugar paste, reducing its functionality. If the client has oily skin or is prone to sweating, talcum powder is beneficial. However, for clients with dry skin, using talcum powder can cause the paste to absorb it too quickly, shortening its lifespan.
