Why I Prefer Sugaring to Waxing

By Brooke, Bare Beauty by Brooke — Columbia Falls, MT

After years of waxing (and dealing with the usual redness and pesky ingrown hairs), I made the switch to sugaring about ten years ago — and I haven’t looked back since! Right after finishing esthetics school, the very first continuing education I took was training with Sugar of the Nile, a totally organic sugaring company from Canada. That was a game changer — for my skin and my career.

As someone with sensitive skin who was always battling irritation, sugaring felt like a breath of fresh air. My skin was calmer, smoother, and honestly, just happier. So naturally, I wanted to bring that magic to my clients too.

What’s the Deal with Sugaring?

Sugaring is an ancient hair removal technique made from just three simple ingredients — sugar, lemon, and water. That’s it! The paste is applied warm (think comfy body temp), so no scary burns, and it’s pulled off in the same direction your hair grows — unlike waxing, which can be a bit more aggressive.

Because sugar paste sticks only to dead skin cells and hair (not your living skin), your skin feels soft, refreshed, and less irritated afterward. Plus, sugaring can tackle those short, fine hairs waxing sometimes misses — meaning you don’t have to wait forever between sessions. Over time, hair grows back softer and lighter, so it’s a win-win!

Fast & Friendly Brazilian Skill

After 10 years of sugaring, I’ve become really skilled and efficient — I can perform a Brazilian in just 10-15 minutes! Considering how uncomfortable and vulnerable that service can feel, I know that speed and professionalism matter. You’ll be in and out feeling confident, cared for, and smooth.

Fun Fact: You Can Sugar Your Face!

Yep, facial sugaring is a thing — and it’s awesome! It gently removes peach fuzz and exfoliates dead skin cells, leaving your face smooth and glowing. It’s like hitting the refresh button on your skin. Bonus? Your makeup goes on smoother, and your skincare products soak in better — instant glow-up, anyone?
