How Sweet It Is

It’s already the beginning of August, but with all the touch-and-go weather we’ve been experiencing, you’re probably wondering whether you’ll get to relish any time outside this summer. Since I’ve never really been keen on waxing, I decided to put off any painful hair-removal rituals until I was sure I’d be booking it to a beach. Then I discovered Sugar Sugar.
As soon as you step inside their warmly lit studio, you can’t help but feel your tension melting away. A warm (read: no chance of burns!) ball of thickened sugar, water and lemon is carefully moulded over your skin, and then quickly flicked away, taking all the hair with it. The ingredients are 100% natural (and theoretically edible – ick!) so there are no chemicals or preservatives to irritate your skin or hair follicles. I also found it a considerably less painful ordeal than waxing. The lovely ladies at Sugar Sugar were friendly, efficient and professional, and I was totally beach ready in no time at all. Sweet!
