Have you ever seen someone look so happy after getting a Brazilian wax? No? Me neither – and I swear this was actually taken AFTER my service, not before. No sneaky tricks here. I had the pleasure of getting a Brazilian sugaring treatment from the Lily Bar Body Sugaring salon and left smiling.
Sugaring is a hair removal method, like waxing, but sugaring uses an all natural combination of only three ingredients – lemon, sugar, and water. You could actually eat the sugar if you wanted to! The sugaring solution will only adhere to dead skin cells and not your live ones which eliminates the possibility of painful removal of live skin cells. Sugaring also goes on the opposite way that waxing does, and is removed in the direction of hair growth which can reduce the amount of breakage and thus reduce the amount of ingrown hairs you experience.
In all honesty, I didn’t find that it was much less painful than getting a wax BUT that being said, I hadn’t gotten a Brazilian in about six months which is probably why it was so painful. Those root systems had a lot of time to grow and take hold! However, what I did find was that there was significantly less irritation to my skin afterwards and I didn’t suffer as many ingrown hairs. Thus far, I actually haven’t seen a single ingrown hair, which is ideal.
And if that’s not enough, the Lily Bar Body Sugaring salon is actually one of the most aesthetic hair removal salons I’ve ever stepped foot in. Their waiting area is gorgeous and the treatment rooms are super spacious and relaxing. The Lily Bar also carries their own brand of aftercare products to keep your sugared skin happy!
