How to use body sugaring paste

Before the procedure, the skin should be pre-prepared: clean and degrease the desired areas. After the skin is completely dry, apply talc so that the paste does not stick to the skin, but only grips the hair. Apply the right amount of paste and roll it over the skin. Leave on for 1-2 minutes, then roll a small ball out of the sugar paste and tear it sharply in the direction of hair growth. For the first time, it may not be possible to completely remove all hairs, as this requires a certain skill. When done, apply a soothing product. Men’s aftershave lotion is perfect for this, as it cleanses and soothes the skin well.
