• Sugar Paste is always applied against the direction of the hair growth and removed in the direction of the hair growth, parallel to the skin.
• During application of the paste, movements should be soft and gentle.
• During removal of the paste, movements should always be sharp and fast.
• Prior to removal of the paste, the skin of the treated area must be held taut. This helps to avoid "sticking" and reduces pain.
• After removal of the paste, always touch the skin surface with the free hand, this neutralizes and diffuses the pain ("anti-stress" movement).
• Do not treat the same area more than three times in order to avoid skin damage.
• Do not treat skin areas with obvious skin damage or neoplasms of the skin.
• The most common mistake made by inexperienced cosmetologists when working with Sugar Paste is "sticking" of Sugar Paste. Ways to correct these problems:
• Option 1: Hold the skin taut in the place of sticking and remove the paste with a fast movement.
• Option 2: Apply additional amount of talc onto the place of sticking, stretch the paste that stuck up to the area treated with talc, and remove the paste with a fast movement.
• Option 3: Add a new piece of paste to the sticking spot, stretch it above the sticking area and remove with a fast movement.
• Option 4: Apply bandage to the sticking spot, press firmly and remove the bandage together with the paste.
• Option 5: Wipe away the sticking paste with a wet napkin or wash it off under running water. Note though that it will be possible to resume the depilation procedure only when the skin is completely dry.
