I really like this brand, it’s gentle on my skin and leaves my legs very smooth!
I purchased this because I was looking for a gentle and effective way to remove peach fuzz without breaking the bank. I watched the videos and tried it on the inside of my arm, and then my face. I should have practiced more. I ended up with bruises on my cheeks, some of them bleeding. I'm scared to use it again on my face.
Devorah, we're sorry to hear that. There is a learning curve, just as you said to our product. Our face skin is much more sensative which is why flicking correctly is very important. A tip we suggest for your face, and everywhere in general, is that you PULL THE SKIN TAUGHT, this makes it easier to not pull up on the loose skin while flicking, becuase the pulling up resulting in bruises. We understand why you would be scared, but we do encourage you to try again, as our sugar does grab the peach fuzz, and the results will be worth it!
While at first the process was difficult, and I did get bruised, when trying it again it was a lot better. It definitely works very well in removing hair! I definitely recommend using prepping powder it makes a big difference.
A little hard to get the technique down but when used correctly it is not painful and gets the job done fast
Even after waiting for the ideal conditions for the sugar to be in, it hurts way more than waxing. This is because the sugar pulls on the hair each stroke against the direction of growth, which is a recommended 3 times. That means an additional 3 instances of pulling pain ON TOP of actually pulling the sugar off (with good technique). I'm returning my product.
We're sorry it's been painful. Although sugaring does involve some pain as it is pulling and tugging hair, 70% of users have said that sugaring is less painful than waxing! We also recommend your hair be the length of a grain of rice and not too long. That way, there is less tugging when spreading the product.
Sorry but this doesn’t work on thicker hair at all. Testing it on your arm only works if you’re going to remove hair from an equally thin-haired place.
Erika, we're sorry that's been your experience. Sugar Me Smooth is good on all hair types and my tips for getting the thick hair is making sure you are using prepping powder, as that eliminates the oils on the skin and allows the sugar to really stick good to the skin. Another reason it may not work as promised is if you are flicking incorrectly, as correcting the flicking method is the way to find successful results on all hair types and thicknesses. We have a Facebook Group called 'Sugar Me Smooth 101' where you can learn to improve your sugaring skills for better success.
The product quality is fine but actually using sugar wax is just not for me it appears….warms too quickly, hair removal inconsistent, irritation…oh well, worth a shot I guess.
Tony, we're sorry to hear that. Our Sugar Wax differs in the fact that we have the Flicker tool. As a result that requires learning how to flick properly, and when you flick incorrectly that leads to the problems you listed. We encourage everyone to try again, as there is a learning curve to the process.
Gave me a rash in my arm.
We're sorry to hear this. Sugaring is still pulling hair from the root and the whole folicle is coming out, so the skin may be red for a couple hours post session as this is the body's natural response so it may appear as a rash. This is why we have our soothing mist and solution as they both help aid the skin and calm the redness and little bumps. A rash may also occur if you immediatly put on lotions, since quite often these lotions have toxic chemicals and your pores are still opened from the follicle coming out, so there is a reaction. However, once again our soothing mist and soothing solution are both 100% all natural so aren't harmful to your immediatly sugared skin.
I am new to waxing, the body sugar is very easy to use. I love how easy it is to clean off if it gets on something.
Once you get through the learning curve of the procress and know you can make the time to do the process yourself it is so worth it. I chose SMS because I wanted to invest in body hair removal, but after researching this was a good alternative price-wise for me until I can afford esthetician services for total body hair removal :)
It was pretty easy to get the hang of and worked well. I have never waxed my legs before and some spots definitely stung, but the pain goes away in a few seconds. I was concerned right after when my legs were a field of red dots, but in a few hours the redness went away.
This works perfect for Face and underarms and other sensitive parts of the body and also I feel hydrated and super smooth soft after my Sugaring session and My body hairs are coming back fewer and softer and very very hard to notice when it grows back I will purchase again for life along with the rest of these Sugar wax Products...
Honestly I was worried about becoming a mother to a girl because I didn’t want her to go through a lifetime of insecurity and pain from being a woman of color with dark body hair, like I had.
Shaving just leads to ingrown hairs and harsh stubble, waxing is always awkward and expensive and inconvenient with monthly trips to a salon, waxing at home will lead to the messiest burns, epilators are Awful, Nair is made from god knows what chemicals, tweezing and threading can only go so far, and although you can just say “screw it” and grow out all the hair, sometimes you just want to wear a cute dress and not have to make a statement with your long armpit hair and thick leg hair.
But Now after learning how to use this specific sugar waxing and have a whole new skill set of learning to do it by myself, I am So excited for my girl to one day ask me about how to do it too. It’s quick, it’s painless, and it’s easy.
Sugar Me Smooth product is absolutely fantastic, there is nothing to burn yourself with, no chemicals, no worries.
There is just the slight learning curve of mastering the flick but it becomes intuitive after a few tries. I was so nervous on my first try but I followed their directions to a T, even iced my underarms to prep, and then dove straight in.
I waxed my underarms, lip, chin, and started on my legs when I ran out and now I’m buying more. You’d think it’s messy and it kind of is, but the sugar dissolved immediately with hot water, unlike wax.
I can’t thank this company enough for helping me feel more confident and empowered to actually remove the hair, at home, by myself.
If you are nervous about trying something new but have also dealt with body hair insecurities your whole life, I promise it is totally worth trying.
I had been struggling with doing my underarms and these wipes helped me have such success! I needed the extra clean!! Thank you!!
Works very well but need to learn how to flick it kinda hurts lol
The best sugar for sugaring out there! Will never go back to shaving.
I've been on the hunt for a good wax for a while, I am very pleased with the results of this wax. The only challenge is the process of spreading and removing waxing. I wonder if wax strips would work better.
The Body sugar is amazing. I always get hair-free results without any irritation and the hair stays away so much longer than when I used to shave.
WATCH THE VIDEOS. They're not kidding when they say they're helpful.
I still can't get some areas of my legs figured out, and the face is really tricky, but overall I love this product. It does take longer right now as I'm getting things figured out, but I've been speeding up the more I try.
Love that it's water soluble. Also didn't hurt as much as waxing!
I loved my first experience with facial sugaring, I reordered!
Still learning to master the ropes of flicking but my bikini line thanks you! I’m prone to ingrown hairs and irritation but sugaring prevented both. So happy 😊
once you get the flick down, the "wax" works great, use the powder they offer and make sure the area is clean and see ya later hair!!!
