Complete the final massaging motion by reaching the end of the sugar paste on the skin. Remember, the sugar paste on your gloves or spatula will blend with the paste on the skin, allowing you to lift it only when you reach the end of the applied paste. Some even extend slightly beyond the end of the paste to ensure full coverage, making it easier to lift and remove.
To remove CLEOPATRA Sugar Paste, use quick, controlled hand strokes in the direction of hair growth, keeping your movements parallel to the skin. Start at the edge of the paste and finish at the starting point of the application. For larger amounts of paste on the skin, multiple strokes may be necessary, while smaller amounts can often be removed in a single stroke.
After removing the last piece of sugar paste, gently tap the skin with the sugar paste on your hand to collect any remaining bits.
What are the most common mistakes during CLEOPATRA Sugar Paste removal?
Experiencing Fear and Tension
Beginners may feel nervous before removing the sugar paste, leading to a tense, heavy hand. Staying relaxed will help you maintain a light, controlled touch, improving the process.
Applying in the Direction of Hair Growth, Removing Against It
Fear and Tension
This is a common mistake because it mirrors the waxing technique. Unlike waxing, Oriental epilation requires applying sugar paste in the opposite direction of hair growth and removing it in the direction of hair growth.
Applying Too Much Paste and Attempting a Single Stroke Removal
Large quantities of sugar paste should be removed with multiple strokes. Beginners should start with smaller applications, allowing for easier single-stroke removal. As skills improve, larger amounts can be managed.
Removing the Sugar Paste Vertically Instead of Parallel to the Skin
For optimal hair removal, remove the sugar paste parallel to the skin. This technique supports natural hair growth and reduces the risk of ingrown hairs and inflammation.
Removing from the Middle
Always remove sugar paste from its end; attempting to remove from the middle can cause bruising. The only exception is when the paste is melted or spent, in which case alternative removal methods are necessary.
Skipping the Massaging Process
Repeatedly applying and removing without massaging the area can cause skin irritation or even bruising. Massage the sugar paste 2 to 4 times before removing it. If the hairs are too long and haven’t been trimmed, limit the massaging to avoid discomfort from hair stretching.
Using Slow Hand Movements
Slow removal can create resistance due to the dead skin cells and hair adhering to the paste, making it harder to remove and potentially causing bruising. Use quick, controlled strokes for effective removal.
Using Quick but Uncontrolled Movements
Quick movements need to be controlled; otherwise, they may result in the paste breaking apart, with pieces landing on the floor or walls. Focus on short, controlled strokes to maintain precision and prevent splattering.
Removing with Wet or Sweaty Hands
If you’re not using gloves or a spatula, keep some sugar paste in your hand to facilitate removal by blending with the paste on the skin. If you have sweaty or greasy skin, you may struggle to grip the paste effectively. Body powder can help by reducing slip.
Using the Thumb Incorrectly
The thumb should primarily hold the sugar paste in your hand, not be used to pull from the edges. Instead, connect the paste in your hand to the edge on the skin, then lift.
Too-Long Hairs
Long hairs can tangle in the sugar paste, causing discomfort during application and removal. Additionally, surrounding hairs may break rather than pull from the root, leading to an uncomfortable experience. It’s best to trim too long hairs before treatment to improve comfort and results.
