Event Prep - Body Sugaring
Hi sugar friends!! With summer right around the corner it’s time to think about removing those pesky hairs for your summer vacay, wedding, or any other fabulous event you might be attending!
Let’s assume you’re in a wedding or attending a wedding! Here is a helpful guide to pave a path to the best sugaring results
Book “trial” sugar services 2-3 months prior to your event. In order to have your sugar results last the longest, it’s important to have a few services booked leading up to your event. Your services should be about 4-6 weeks apart and I would recommend 3 services before the day of the event for the absolute best results. Booking services prior to the big day will also give you a trial run for if you will experience any irritation or ingrowns and how to properly handle those situations. This booking method will also help reduce any pain significantly. I always say, if you are able to work through the first wax, the rest will be an absolute breeze!
Spray Tans! If you plan to get a spray tan for your event, be sure to book your sugar service before you have your spray tan scheduled. If the spray tan is booked prior to the wax, the sugar will remove the tan from your skin. I recommend booking your sugar wax 2-3 days before your spray tan. This gives any irritation you might have time to subdue and reduces the risk of any breakouts from the spray tan. For spray tans in the twin cities area check out the Glow Lounge. Their tans are very natural looking and their spray color is 100% customized to your skin. Their spray is also heat infused for an extremely comfortable experience. None of that naked, cold, and afraid here!
Additional Prep. Be sure to grow your hair for at least 2-3 weeks. If your hair is longer that is perfectly fine, but during your service it may be trimmed depending on the length. Maintain moisturized skin prior to your appointment up until the day of. This will reduce ingrowns and allow for a more seamless removal of the hair. Feel free to exfoliate your skin in the days or weeks leading up to your appointment. I recommend every 2-3 days.
Aftercare!! If there is ever a time to invest in aftercare products this would be it! To be sure your silky smooth skin will last it’s imperative that you have something to hydrate and protect your skin. My go to product is the Fur oil. The Fur oil offers hydration and prevents ingrown and breakouts. Bonus - it smells divine! When you’re in my studio, you can get the full size bottle or the aftercare kit which includes a small fur oil, a small scrub, and a small ingrown eliminator serum!! If you aren’t able to invest in any aftercare products at this time here are a few alternatives that may work for you: grapeseed oil, jojoba oil, and aloe vera. While none are as all encompassing as the Fur oil, they will keep the skin hydrated.
That’s all I have for this event prep guide!! I hope to see you in the studio and get you ready for all of your summer fun!
