Guide Review - Parissa Chamomile Body Sugar
The funny part is that I told my brother that I was going to sugar his back, he thought it was some kind of natural way to dissolve his hair. Ha! He didn’t know I would be pulling it out.
Heating up the sugaring gel in the microwave, it came out to be a nice fluid consistency. Easy to work with, the gel spread smoothly and was much less messy and sticky than wax. Most of the hair came off, but there was a bit of breakage in some places.
Once or twice I had to heat up the gel for a couple seconds because it was getting too cool. To me, that’s a pain because I'm so used to a warmer that keeps sugar or wax at a constant consistent temperature.
In the instructions it says nothing about applying powder on the skin before putting on the sugaring gel. Putting on some powder helps the product stick to the skin less, resulting in less pain. I didn’t use any powder because I wanted to give you the results using the product as recommended by Parissa. He said the sugaring hurt. But then again, he’s never had any type of sugaring or wax, so he has nothing to compare it to.
His skin was pink, but nothing out of the ordinary for when you get hair pulled out of the root. The gel is water soluble, so right after he took his shower there was no stickiness and I applied the azulene oil which further helped to soothe his skin.
I've been waxing my brows since my late teen years. But I always didn't wax the top, that's been for about the last five or six years. But now I'm noticing the top hair of my brows aren't growing the same, they're acting quirky. Some hairs are directed slightly upward at about a 25 degree angle, even when they're long enough to lay down flat.
