Let’s Explore Sugaring vs. Waxing in Point Loma, CA
Point Loma is known for two things: its rich history and its stunning beauty. And we think that makes this community a perfect match for sugaring. Sugaring is an ancient hair removal method with fantastic modern applications. It uses three simple, organic ingredients. And the results will amaze you—and anyone who’s lucky enough to be seen with you.
Why We Sugar Instead of Wax
Sugaring uses gentle techniques, organic ingredients, and body-temperature paste. These three qualities mean that sugaring is safe for sensitive skin and protects hair follicle health. When your hair follicle is happy, your chance of ingrown hairs is greatly reduced. Plus, you still get the baby-smooth softness that waxing is known for!
Where Sugaring Succeeds
Sugar, water, and lemon—and an expert Sugarista to put it all together—are all it takes to remove hair in a healthy way. This organic paste is applied to your skin at body temperature and removes hair from the root in the direction of hair growth. It exfoliates by lifting only dead skin cells, leaving your living skin intact. All in all, it’s an amazing technique that will leave your skin smooth, soft, and healthy.
