How to make candies at home? Algorithm, application technique and post-skin care

Napping is one of the most economical and easy-to-apply hair removal methods. Therefore, the procedure is often performed at home on their own, even by beginners. Just for them, we have collected all the necessary information about what products will be needed for the procedure, available application techniques and preparation tips.

What is required for the procedure?

For shugaring at home you will need the following products:

– sugar paste (you can buy it or make it yourself);

– antiseptic;

– talcum or baby powder;

– putty knife;

– paper strips (optional);

– gloves;

– moisturising cream.

Preparation for the procedure

When you have everything you need to do shugaring on your own, you can directly begin to prepare for the procedure. You should get started in a few days:

Avoid sun exposure 1-2 days before the procedure.

– Exfoliate 24 hours before the procedure to remove dead skin particles.

– The length of the hair in the epilation area should be at least 4 mm so that the paste easily catches the hairs and removes them carefully.

– Take a warm shower before the procedure and dry your skin thoroughly with a towel.

– Make sure that the room where you will perform the procedure is sufficiently lit and that you can clearly see the hairs and their exit directions.

confectionery techniques

The choice of technique for performing the procedure depends on the sensitivity of certain areas of hair removal. There are three main – manual, bandage and spatula.

manual technique

It is suitable for the treatment of small and sensitive areas such as the face, armpits, bikini area. Medium and high density pastes are usually chosen for manual pulling. And the execution algorithm is as follows:

– Apply a small amount of paste to the skin against hair growth.

– Wait until you set the tool.

– Holding the skin with your free hand, remove the paste in the direction of hair growth with sharp and short movements.

– After that, the paste is kneaded and used again. Replace with loss of elasticity.

bandage technique

It is suitable for treating large areas of the body – for example, calves and thighs. A softer paste is usually chosen for the bandage technique. You will also need paper strips for this. The execution algorithm is as follows:

– Using a spatula, apply the anti-growth paste to the skin in a thin layer.

– Glue and fix the paper strip on the top.

– With a sharp movement, remove the paper strip along the hair growth.

Spatula technique

It is suitable for epilation of small areas. A low density paste is used for spatula technology. The execution algorithm is as follows:

– Spread a small amount of paste in a thin layer with a spatula.

– Leave a thickening at the end – a spatula sticks on it.

– Also stretch the skin with your free hand and remove the paste with a sharp movement, starting with a spatula.

Shugaring algorithm

The procedure is the same both in the salon and at home. Therefore, in order to better understand the technique, you can first go to the master, and then do shugaring on your own. The algorithm is as follows:

– Apply antiseptic to the skin.

– Wear gloves.

– Apply talcum powder or powder to the depilation area.

– Perform epilation with a pre-selected technique.
