Before Your Appointment:

Let’s Get Prepped

• Exfoliate 24-48 Hours Before
  Gently exfoliating your skin before your appointment helps remove dead skin cells, giving the sugar paste the best chance to grip the hair and not your skin. Just remember—exfoliate, don’t scrub too hard!

• Hydrate, But Skip the Lotion Day-Of
  Hydrate your skin regularly in the days leading up to your session, but avoid lotion, oils, or creams on the day of your appointment. You want the sugar paste to stick to your hair, not slide off moisturized skin.

• Let It Grow
  Make sure your hair is about 1/8 inch long (about the size of a grain of rice). This gives the sugar paste enough to grip for smooth removal. If you’ve been shaving, give it a couple of weeks to grow out for the best results.

• Avoid Sun Exposure & Skin Treatments
  No tanning, sunbeds, or harsh skin treatments like chemical peels or retinoids for at least 48 hours before your appointment. We want your skin calm and cool, not irritated or extra sensitive.

• Chill on the Coffee and Cocktails
  Caffeine and alcohol can make your skin more sensitive, so it’s best to avoid them for 24 hours before your appointment. Let’s keep your skin calm and relaxed for the smoothest experience possible!

• Wear Comfortable Clothes
  On the day of your appointment, opt for loose, breathable clothing. Tight clothes can rub against your freshly sugared skin and cause irritation.

After Your Sugaring: Keep That Skin Smooth

• No Heat for 24-48 Hours
  Your skin will be a little more sensitive post-sugaring, so avoid hot showers, saunas, or sweaty workouts for the next 1-2 days. This gives your pores time to close up and prevents irritation.

• Skip the Sun
  Sunbathing or hitting the tanning beds is a no-go for 48 hours after sugaring. Freshly sugared skin is more prone to burning, and we want to avoid any chance of hyperpigmentation.

• Moisturize (But Gently!)
  Once the initial redness subsides, keep your skin hydrated with a gentle, unscented lotion or natural oils like coconut or jojoba. Well-moisturized skin helps maintain your smooth results.

• Exfoliate (After 48 Hours)
  Start exfoliating the treated area after 2 days to keep dead skin cells at bay and help prevent ingrown hairs. Make it a routine 2-3 times a week for the best long-term results.

• Stay Loose
  Just like before your appointment, wear loose clothing for the first couple of days after sugaring. Tight clothing can irritate sensitive areas, especially in spots like the bikini line.

• Don’t Touch!
  Avoid touching or scratching the sugared area, even if it feels sensitive. You don’t want to introduce bacteria to open pores or cause irritation.

• Redness? Totally Normal
  Mild redness and sensitivity are normal after sugaring and usually fade within a few hours. Applying a cold compress or some soothing aloe vera gel can help calm your skin.

• No Lotions, Oils, or Deodorant for 24 Hours
  Let your skin breathe! Avoid applying any lotions, oils, or deodorants to the treated area for at least a day post-sugaring to prevent irritation.
