The Sugar Lady - Wholesale and Retail Body Paste and Sugar Essentials

Why Sugar Smooth Sugar?

Why use Sugar Smooth body sugar over other sugar companies? Some sugar companies add essential oils to their products. The more ingredients you have the greater the possibility of a client having a reaction. Some sugar companies make their sugar paste with a honey base. The honey over time will crystallize causing the sugar to be non-usable. Sugar Smooth body sugar has a sugar base. Sugar is a natural healer for the skin and actually nourishes it. Bacteria does not breed or survive in sugar therefore our body sugar paste will not go bad. Other sugar products sold over the counter are meant to be used warm with a spatula and cloth strips. This is a very messy process and due to the way the sugar is applied, can actually break the hair rather than removing it completely.

Sugaring vs. Waxing

Pure and Natural Ingredients
Wax has many chemical ingredients, mostly resins and preservatives.

Sugaring paste is made from 100% NATURAL INGREDIENTS with no testing on animals and with no harmful side effects caused by allergic reactions. It is so natural you can EAT it!

It Is Not Hot
Wax must be heated to a very high degree in order to become liquefied. This amount of heat can cause burning and scarring. It also causes swelling in the tissues, which makes hair removal difficult. Long term use can breakdown the underlying connecting tissues, especially in the lip and brow areas which is associated with wrinkling.

The Advanced Sugaring Paste is applied at body temperature making it safe for spider veins and varicose veins since it will not increase blood supply. The Sugar when applied will be approximately 23-25°C cooler than wax. Used properly, your skin will never get burned.

It Is Easier To Clean Up
Since wax contains resins, after waxing, the client is usually left feeling sticky. Sugar can be easily cleaned up with water - clients never feel sticky after treatments.

It Will Not Stick To The Skin
Wax has been known to remove more than just the hair, since it can adhere directly to live skin cells, which makes waxing painful and irritating. Wax cannot be applied to an area more than once (twice maximum).

Sugar can not adhere to live skin cells. It will remove the hair and exfoliate the dead skin cells, thus making it safe for dry itch eczema and dry psoriasis, but leaves the new skin intact. This means less discomfort to you, and less trauma to your skin. It is gentle enough to go over the same area more than once when necessary to remove the shortest and most coarse hair, without causing skin damage or irritation.

It Will Not Break As Many Hairs
One of the most common problems waxers face is early regrowth due to broken hairs. Waxing can leave 15 - 30% breakage behind. This problem is usually caused, not by the esthetician, but by the wax used. Since wax hardens on the hair, it has the tendency to break it off at the surface, rather than pull it out.

Using our Sugaring Technique, the paste wraps around the hair shaft making it pliable, while seeping below the mouth of the follicle and lubricating the hair to make the extraction more complete and gentle.

It Is More Sanitary
Cross contamination in a waxing room is always a danger, especially since bacteria will grow inside of a wax jar.

The sugaring paste is hypo-allergenic and non comedogenic. Sugar helps control cross contamination. Since our paste has such a high concentration of sugar, bacteria cannot breed in the jar. Sanitation is increased when Essential Antiseptic spray and latex gloves are used in conjunction with our antimicrobial skin cleanser. Sugar was actually used to heal wounds during the Civil War as it helps to prevent infections while promoting healing.

Sugaring ~ Myths Uncovered

Myth: Sugaring is unsanitary.
Sugar is a preservative. The high concentration of sugar in our sugaring paste prevents bacteria from breeding as well as cross-contamination. Our system uses maximum sanitation procedures.

Myth: Clients leave the salon sticky.
Sugar Smooth paste contains no resins or chemicals and is water soluble. Any sugaring paste remaining on the skin can simply be washed off. The client leaves feeling clean and smooth.

Myth: Hair will grow back thicker and darker.
On the contrary, hair will grow back more refined and thinner. Our sugaring technique removes hair from the bulb. When the new hair grows back, it is much finer and lighter in colour.

Myth: Diabetics cannot be sugared.
The sugaring paste is not ingested during treatment unless chosen to be. The Sugar Smooth system does not require the paste to be hot, therefore is considered safe for most diabetics. Also, our sugaring paste does not contain resins which can tear the skin and pose a problem to a diabetic.

Myth: Sugaring is a fad.
There are too many men and women who have experienced the incredible results from Sugar Smooth treatments to even remotely consider Sugaring a fad. Every single day of every year more people seek us out and switch from other methods.
