QUICK TIPS BEFORE SUGARING:
-
Sugaring in front of a fan, in as few clothes as possible helps keep skin temperature down!
-
Skin with any lotion, oil, sweat or water on it will not Sugar properly - start with perfectly clean & dry skin!
-
Try waving the flicker back and forth in the air between spreads to help it firm back up if it's getting too soft!
STEP ONE: SCOOP
(Hover over images for instructions.)
1. Hold Flicker (applicator) long ways with the fingers on top and the thumb underneath. Make sure fingertips are on the narrow edge of the flicker, not in the center.
2. Scoop marble size piece of sugar for practice.
3. Press and hold sugar on skin for 10-15 seconds (when starting new piece of sugar).
TIP: Sugar straight out of the jar should be quite firm. Expect to dig in. Don't start if it's too soft. The Sugar loosens as it's used.
STEP TWO: APPLY
-
Pull skin tight.
-
Check you are holding the flicker correctly with the fingers at the narrow end of the flicker and the thumb underneath.
-
Slowly apply or spread the sugar against the direction of hair growth 2 times (opposite of waxing), lifting after each spread. Spread a third time ending just past the previous 2 spreads.

3-2. Spread a third time ending just past the previous 2 spreads.
TIP: Don't rub the sugar back and forth continuously when applying and preparing to flick. DO remember to pick up your flicker with each spreading stroke and begin again at the original starting point.
STEP THREE: REMOVE

After the third spread, quickly pull applicator (flick) in the direction of hair growth.
-
Don't hesitate, flick fast and parallel, keeping the sugar close to the skin, like quickly ripping off a Band-Aid.
