Does Sugaring Hurt?
Sugaring removes hair at the root which does result in some discomfort, however, the discomfort is minimal.

The first time you sugar will be the most uncomfortable then it just keeps getting easier from there.

water. After sugaring, you may experience some temporary redness and irritation which should quickly subside. You can follow sugaring with some pure aloe vera or witch hazel to soothe the skin. Avoid hot showers, saunas, exfoliation, and friction on the area for 24-48 hours. It is recommended to wear loose clothing
following sugaring and please keep the area clean. Exfoliate gently 2-3 times per week but avoid exfoliating the day before you plan to sugar.

Prior to sugaring make sure your skin is clean and dry and free of any oil or lotion. Avoid exfoliating for 24 hours prior to sugaring.
