A fresh take on the ancient practice of hair removal

The method of body sugaring can be dated as far back as 1900BC originating in Alexandria, Egypt (Cleopatra was said to have been a pioneer this ancient art.) A paste was created consisting of just sugar, water and lemon, applied to the skin, covered in muslin strips until cooled, then pulled off with the direction of the hair, removing the hair with it. Many women of the era believed that removing body hair was the epitome of beauty and youth.

While we still use the same 3 simple ingredients, sugar, water and lemon, the application process has been updated. The sugar paste is heated to slightly above room temperature, then applied directly to skin in the opposite direction of hair growth. It is then molded to the skin and removed using a flicking motion of the wrist, pulling the hair out by the root, as well as any dead skin cells. The skin is left, smooth, exfoliated and hairless.
