If you have not heard of sugaring before, it’s a method of removing unwanted hair in the natural direction of growth by applying a mixture of lemon juice, sugar, and water to the skin and then peeling it off together with the hair.

Removing the paste, along with the hair in the natural direction of hair growth, is crucial to ensuring proper hair-removal.Since the sugaring paste is water soluble, it only removes dead skin cells and can’t stick to living skin cells, making the skin easy to moisturise without the chance of skin irritation.
