Step 1

Warm up the Nature's Sugar Wax jar in the microwave without removing the lid to a soft and pliable consistency.

Microwave for 10 seconds. If it is still not pliable enough to work with, microwave again in 10 seconds intervals and check the sugar paste in between each interval to avoid making it too soft and/or too hot. Remember: every microwave is different. Heat is distributed from the center.

Less time will be needed as the level of sugar in the container goes down.

Step 2

Now that the sugar paste is soft and pliable, gently scoop out some of Nature's Sugar Wax only using the tips of your four fingers. Try to keep it in a ball on the tips of the fingers.

TIP: If the sugar paste is too firm, it will not stick to the skin and will not remove hair, and if it's runny, it won't come off and will need to be wiped off with a damp cloth.

To help maintain the sugar paste temperature consistent through the hair removal, keep the jar in a bowl filled with hot water.

Step 3

Nitrile gloves are recommended but not mandatory. Using the tips of your fingers, spread Nature's Sugar Wax over the section of skin where you wish to remove hair.

Press into the skin as you spread against the direction of hair growth. Repeat 2 or 3 times before you remove it.

Using medium pressure with fingers while spreading the sugar paste will help to better grip the hair.

Step 4

When you are ready to remove the sugar paste from the skin, hold the skin taut with the other hand before pulling.

Using light pressure, flick the sugar paste quickly with your fingertips, and keep parallel to the skin. Do not lift up, it may result in bruising.

You can repeat this step several times over the same area of the skin using the same sugar ball to get all the hair off. It is normal to see skin redness post sugaring.

TIP: When you flick parallel to the skin, hair is easily extracted in its natural growth direction and you will avoid hair breakage that may lead to ingrown hairs. It also makes it less painful.
