Caring For Your Freshly Sugared Skin
Sugaring is a gentle process that will leave your skin soft and smooth. Not only does it remove more of the hair than most other methods, but it gives your skin a gentle, natural exfoliation at the same time.
No matter what method of hair removal you choose, sugar included, you still need to care for your skin, in order to get the best results. Properly caring for your freshly sugared skin can help you avoid bumps, ingrown hairs, and dry skin.
Following the proper aftercare routine can be tough sometimes. There’s a ton of products and advice out there on what to use and when to use it. We've written this blog to help you navigate your options and decide which products are best for you!
Dry- Brushing:
To start off, there are some basics that will apply to you, no matter your skin type. The first of these; you need to exfoliate! 48 hours after your sugaring appointment, you will need to start exfoliating. One of your options is to try dry-brushing, which provides a variety of benefits, one of which is exfoliation.
Silk-Scrub:
Another option for exfoliation is our amazing Silk Scrub from Fur.
Key Ingredients:
The silk scrub uses Jojoba Beads. Jojoba beads are an environmentally-friendly alternative to plastic beads, as well as a natural exfoliator. Other ingredients include papaya and pineapple enzymes to remove dead skin, glycolic acids to brighten uneven skin tones, and clary sage oil to soothe redness and irritation.
No matter what products you decide to use, exfoliation is important to fight ingrowns before they happen. Removing the dead skin cells will allow the new hairs to easily grow out of the follicle, instead of remaining underneath the skin.
Signature Fur Oil:
Another amazing product for use post-sugaring is the Signature Fur oil. Fur oil will keep your skin silky smooth and ingrown free. Fur oil is a 100% natural, vegan, cruelty-free, facial-grade, and both dermatologically and gynecologically tested. It is also free of mineral oils, silicones, parabens, synthetic fragrances, and artificial dyes.
Key Ingredients:
It doesn’t have any of the bad stuff, but the best part is the good stuff it is packed full of! These ingredients include grape seed oil, jojoba oil, clary sage, and tea tree oil. Between these four ingredients, Fur oil is packed with vitamins and complexes that are great for your skin and pack a moisturizing punch!
How to use: After a soak or shower, reach for Fur Oil and apply it anywhere you’re feeling dry, or ingrown prone.
Ingrown Concentrate:
If you are looking to get rid of redness, bumps, and ingrown hairs, then ingrown concentrate is the perfect product for you.
This product is designed to work as a spot treatment on the areas that cause you the greatest issues.
Key Ingredients: This product is created with a variety of key ingredients, including coconut oil to deeply penetrate the hair follicle to eradicate dryness while speeding up the body’s healing process. It also makes use of tea tree oil for its antimicrobial properties and chamomile extract, one of the world's oldest known remedies for irritated skin.
How To Use:
In the shower, use the finger mitt (found in the Ingrown Concentrate box) to exfoliate, focusing on ingrowns or areas you know could use a little extra buff. Out of the shower, apply a few drops of Ingrown Concentrate on ingrowns, bumps, razor burn, or angry skin.
Stubble Cream:
Stubble Cream is an amazing product that does two things at once! Not only does it make regrowth appear soft and fine, but it also doubles as a standalone full body moisturizer.
Key Ingredients:
Some of the key ingredients to mention include lavender, rich in antioxidants, and olive extracts, packed with vitamin E.
How to Use:
Spread Stubble Cream liberally on clean, dry skin.
