Before + After Care | Honey Bee Sugaring

Before

✔️ Allow hair to grow at least 2 weeks from last shave, or 6 weeks from last sugar

✔️Exfoliate the week of your appointment to ensure dead skin is removed. This will help with smoothness of your results.

✔️Come to your appointment with freshly cleaned skin

❌ Do not apply lotion, cream, deodorant, or make up before your appointment

❌ Avoid caffeine before your appointment as it increases skin sensitivity

✔️Consult with your doctor if you are taking acne medications (such as Retin-A, Isotretinoin, Accutane, etc.) as these thin the skin and can cause tearing

After

✔️ Start exfoliating your skin every couple days to remove dead skin cells and help keep ingrown hairs away

✔️Moisturize your skin daily with a light, fragrance-free lotion. Freshly sugared skin can be sensitive to fragrance and chemicals.

✔️If your underarms were sugared, some clients find that deodorant applied the same day afterwards can be very irritating (but we gotta do what we gotta do)

✔️Prebook your next appointment to keep on a regular schedule. Keeping a consistent sugaring schedule leads to reduction in hair growth

❌ For 24-48 hours avoid hot showers, saunas, hot tubs, and tanning as these may increase irritation

❌ Avoid sweating or working out the day of your appointment as sweat introduces bacteria to the hair follicles, which may cause irritation or ingrown hairs
