Waxing vs. Sugaring – What’s the Best Hair Removal Method?
When it comes to the most effective hair removal methods out there, many women are confused about the differences and benefits of waxing and sugaring. Both of these hair removal methods work by pulling hair out from the root using a formula that sticks to the hair follicle. However, there are some significant differences between your typical waxing and sugaring product.
VidaSleek is an all-natural sugar wax and contains water soluble, all-natural ingredients. Unlike your typical sugaring paste, VidaSleek has a thicker honey and gel-like consistency, making it very easy to spread the product and remove unwanted hair.
Here’s a closer look at the key differences between waxing and sugaring:
Waxing and Sugaring Formulas
Sugaring products are usually made of natural ingredients such as sugar, lemon juice, and water. They are free of many of the artificial dyes, fragrances, and other ingredients found in both cold and hot wax formulas. Most waxing formulas are made out of resins and typically contain preservatives and different types of chemicals. Unlike sugaring products, wax formulas cannot be washed off with plain water – you’ll need to use baby oil or some type of special wax remover to take care of any spills or misapplied product.
How Waxing and Sugaring Affect the Skin
One of the biggest differences between waxing and sugaring products is how they affect the skin. A sugaring paste will only remove dead skin cells along with the hair. Wax removes both live and dead skin cells so it acts as an exfoliating method. If you have very sensitive skin or are already using exfoliating products such as peels, Retin-A, or glycolic acid, you may remove more skin cells with waxing than you intended to.
Waxing and Sugaring Applications
Most waxes must be melted down and applied warm to adhere to the skin. Sugar paste is usually applied lukewarm and there is no chance of burning the skin or singeing the hair. The products are removed with waxing strips that are pulled away in the opposite direction of hair growth. This ensures the hair is pulled out completely from the follicle.
VidaSleek is not a sugaring paste and is applied very much like a warm wax. However, you’ll enjoy the benefits of sugaring with this formula because you won’t be pulling away live skin cells and you will be putting far less stress on your skin. You’ll also be using an all-natural product that contains ingredients that won’t irritate the skin or cause inflammation. Try VidaSleek today and you’ll see why it’s one of the most effective hair removal methods out there.
