Sugaring is very similar to waxing but instead of wax being used to remove the hair a paste made from lemon, sugar and water is heated and used. As with waxing, the paste is applied to the skin, a material strip is then smoothed over the paste in the direction of the hair growth and then ripped off in the opposite direction removing the unwanted hair.

Sugaring can be carried out at home although it can be quite messy. However as all the ingredients are natural the paste is easier to clean up than wax.

Sugaring has all the same advantages as waxing although not many salons nowadays offer sugaring as a treatment.
