Sugaring Prep + Care
Prep and post-care are the key to smooth, glowing skin! Prepping helps us deliver the best results, while post-care keeps your skin happy, healthy, and silky smooth long after your service.
Before Your Sugaring Appointment
Follow these simple steps to ensure your hair removal is flawless
Hair Length
The proper amount of hair growth is key, it must be longer than 1/4'' (about the size of a grain of rice). Ideally 2 weeks after your last shave or 1 month after your last sugaring (or waxing) session.
Exfoliate
Exfoliate and moisturize regularly, but pause exfoliating routine 24 hours prior to your sugaring. Arrive to your appointment with clean skin, without any lotion or oils.
No Stimulants or Accutane
Avoid Accutane pills for 6 months prior to sugaring or use topical retinoids (on the area to be sugared) for at least 1 week prior to your session. Avoiding caffeine or stimulants prior to sugaring will ease the process.
Menstruation
Women are most sensitive to pain during their premenstrual and menstrual phases. It’s ideal to plan monthly sugaring for a different time of the month.

Post Sugaring Hair Removal Care
Follow these quick tips for the best results
No touching
We know it's hard because you'll feel so slinky smooth but avoid touching freshly sugared skin with your hands to prevent bacteria from getting into your open pores.
Protect your Skin
Avoid exposing freshly sugared skin to the sun, hot tubs, pools or cosmetic products with fragrance for 48 hours post-treatment as skin is more susceptive to UV rays and bacteria during this time.
Don't Sweat It
Avoid sweating for 24 hours post-treatment as it can clog hair follicles.
Wait to Get Busy
Medical experts advise waiting 24 hours after a Brazilian treatment to get intimate with a partner. If you’re prone to ingrowns, 48 hours is advised.

Tips to help maintain the results and make your next appointment easier
Avoid Shaving or Tweezing
Avoid shaving or tweezing between sugaring sessions as it will create different hair growth cycles and prevent future sugaring sessions from leaving skin smooth for the maximum amount of time.
Wait to Exfoliate
Wait 48+ hours after sugaring to resume a weekly exfoliating regimen.
Moisturize 24 Hrs After
Resume your moisturizing routine 24 hours after your session. Apply your moisturizer while skin is still damp post-shower to lock in moisture.
Ingrown Remedy
Prevent and treat pesky ingrowns, with or without brightening
