How to Apply Sugar Paste Effectively
Adjust Body Position
The two terms are often used in the same way, but it’s incorrect to call sugar paste wax. Sugar paste doesn’t have the same ingredients as traditional wax, and it doesn’t need heating. It’s completely natural. Unlike wax, sugar paste is applied in the opposite direction of hair growth and removed in the direction of hair growth. While some may think of sugar paste as a type of wax because both remove hair, they are quite different.
Choose the Starting Point
Begin the treatment on a smooth, hairless area, gradually moving toward the areas with hair to be removed. For instance, start at the ankles when working on the legs, or at the wrists for arms. Moving from bottom to top, front to back, or from the outside inward helps you follow a structured process and reduces the need for touch-ups.
Position the Hand or Spatula Correctly
When applying the sugar paste with your hand or a spatula, hold it vertically so your fingertips (or the edge of the spatula) can gently push and lift the hairs in the opposite direction of their growth. To remove the paste, pull in the direction of hair growth. This technique, unlike waxing, works with the hair’s natural direction for a smoother finish.
Tighten the Skin
For areas with looser skin, use your free hand to tighten the skin while applying the sugar paste. This ensures a smoother and more effective application.
What are the most common mistakes when applying CLEOPATRA Sugar Paste?
During hair removal, avoid simply spreading the sugar paste over the surface of the hairs. Instead of just covering the top, aim to capture the base of the hairs where they grow closest to the root. This technique ensures effective removal.
On areas with sensitive or loose skin, like the bikini area or upper lip, it’s essential to tighten the skin for effective hair removal. Applying sugar paste on loose skin may result in less efficient hair removal. For areas such as the bikini line, tightening the skin with your other hand is crucial, as it helps prevent bruising.
Organize each step of the hair removal process in advance. Mixing steps or leaving parts unfinished can waste both your time and your client’s, and may appear unprofessional. Following a structured process from start to finish will ensure a smoother, more efficient treatment.
