It is a method of hair removal using sugar that has been cooked to a thickened paste which is pliable. Not just any sugar will do. The best I have found is made in Canada. The application is against the growth of the hair then flicked in the natural direction of the hair growth. Even the shortest most stubborn bikini line hairs can be extracted. Sugar is naturally healing to the skin. The experience is both comfortable for the client and creative fun for the esthetician. I love it!
