Important disclaimer:
All recipes that I mentioned are from an expert working for many years doing sugaring and other skincare treatments.
But at the end of the day, you know your skin better, and I recommend you test anything before applying anything to your skin.
Personally, I spent a lot of money on laser hair removal sessions a long time ago, but it wasn’t that effective.
Also, I tried waxing at the salon, and it wasn’t convenient, budget-friendly, and burnt my face.
Moreover, Razors and Nair hair removal are the worst.
Razors make my hair grow thicker and so fast, while Nair burned my skin many times.
That is why I love sugar waxing because it is 100% natural, removes my dead skin, and really slows my hair growth.
