Frequently asked questions about Sugaring
Boho Beauty Co uses a loose paste, strip-free, hand sugaring method. A mixture of lemon, sugar, and water is used to remove hair from the face and body. Sugaring is gentle enough for the thinnest most sensitive skin and strong enough for the thickest, most stubborn hairs.
Sugar paste is a water soluble product and can be cleaned up with a simple hot towel adhering only to hair, dead and dry skin cells for a more gentle exfoliation and less pain. It cannot burn the skin and is applied against the hair growth and removed in its natural direction reducing breakage.
Hair should be at least 1/8th of an inch about the size of a grain of rice, or approximately 2 weeks growth after a shave so the sugar can grip on to it.
