People often ask us, “Is there really a difference between waxing and sugaring?” The answer is a resounding yes, and the differences are significant.
AP Sugaring Products vs. Waxing Products
Sugaring unwanted facial and body hair requires a completely different approach compared to waxing. Here’s why:
-
Gentle on Skin: AP sugaring products do not adhere to live skin cells. Unlike wax, which is made of resins that stick to any surface, Alexandria Professional® sugaring products only adhere to dead skin cells. This means that when the sugar paste is removed, it gently exfoliates without causing unnecessary pain, leaving your skin silky smooth. Plus, because our sugar paste is all-natural and water-soluble, it can be easily rinsed away if needed.
-
Natural Hair Removal: AP sugaring removes hair in its natural direction of growth, unlike waxing, which pulls hair against the grain. This not only reduces pain but also helps to lubricate the hair root, making extraction easier and more comfortable for the client, especially in sensitive areas.
The Healthy Choice: Natural Sugar Pastes vs. Chemicals
Alexandria Professional® Sugaring Paste is made from all-natural ingredients—it's even edible! Our sugar pastes are safe and skin-friendly, unlike many waxing products that are petroleum-based and full of chemicals, which can lead to contamination and skin irritation.
No Risk of Burns with AP Sugaring
Waxing often involves hot wax, which can burn sensitive skin. This is a common concern, especially for men who might be wary of hot wax on their chest, legs, face, or back. AP sugaring is performed at body temperature, eliminating the risk of burns. The sugar paste adheres to the hair, not the skin, and combined with removal in the natural direction of hair growth, it ensures a much more comfortable experience.
