After Sugaring

  • CLOTHING ~ Wear loose clothing especially for Brazilians. Friction, sweat, or heat can create ingrowns, bumps, redness, and irritation.  Avoid dirty clothes, tight clothes, dirty undies, skinny jeans, leggings, or stockings.  Try wearing clean loose fitting pants, skirts, shirts, and no underwear after a Brazilian.

  • BE GENTLE ~ The first 24-48 hours you will treat your skin differently, it needs protection and rest.  The skin is considered irritated, until the tender feeling subsides.

  • PROTECTING THE SKIN ~ Sugared areas need protection 24-48 hours after treatment. You may see redness similiar to a light sunburn, red speckling where the root was removed, and sometimes hives due to a histamine reaction.  The skin feels more tender than usual to the touch.  If you have been sugared for a long time or have remarkable skin recovery time, it may take only 6-12 hours.

  • 24 -48 HOUR DONT'S ~  NO HOT SHOWERS, BATHS, HOT TUBS, POOLS, OCEAN, SAND, SWEAT, SWEATY WORKOUTS, SUN EXPOSURE, SCRUBS, ACTIVE/UN-APPROVED PRODUCTS.

  • ALWAYS AVOID ~ Fragrance/parfum, scented lotions, heavy essential oils and perfumes, can cause ingrowns if used at any time, ask your professional if in doubt about a product you are using.

  • SHOWER ~  Not immediately, wait 6-12 hours at least, if you get sweaty rinse immediately with cool water no soap.  After 12-24 hours, take a luke warm shower. Avoid hot showers/baths, soap with fragrance/parfum, harsh soaps, scrubs can cause side effects like: hives, redness, pustules, breakouts, and ingrowns.  Do not over stimulate the skin, let it recover.

  • Hydrate ~ After your first shower apply moisturizer, sunflower oil is a gentle non-comediogenic option, cetaphil lotion, or other natural type of hydration.

  • EXFOLIATE ~ 48-72 hours after hair removal, prevent the buildup of dead skin cells, which can cause ingrowns.  We recommend using a Sugar Scrub.

  • HOME CARE PROGRAM ~ Prevent ingrown hair before it starts, save yourself from unsightly scaring.

  1. Take it easy - for 24-48 hours.

  2. Exfoliate - 3-5 times a week with a sugar scrub or scrubby glove. (wait 72 hours before exfoliating)

  3. TONE ~ Use a natural toner after scrubbing, and before hydrating.

  4. Hydrate & Protect ~ apply your hydration/bump prevention every day. During the day wear sunscreen on top of hydration step.

  • UNDERWEAR/UNDERGARMENTS ~ Spandex or synthetic fabrics cause a reaction on many skin types, creating redness, itching, sores, or ingrowns.  Choose organic cotton, bamboo, hemp or other natural choices for undergarments or in high friction areas to avoid these side effects.
