Tips On How To Use Sugar In Hair Removal
by: Susan MathiesenSugaring, a recipe for hair removal. This hair removal technique starts in the kitchen. Start with a cup of regular sugar, a quarter cup of honey, and juice from half of a lemon. Microwave this mixture for two to three minutes or until it starts to bubble. It should have a smooth consistency at this point. Leave the bowl to cool for about five minutes.
Now that the sugar solution has cooled you need to get a wooden stick similar to a tongue depressor for applying it, while still in the kitchen grab some corn starch. You will also need multiple strips of non colored cloth, cutting up an old white T-shirt works well.
Sugaring works like waxing and the sugar and honey solution will stick to the hairs to assist you in pulling the hairs out by the roots, so unfortunately, like waxing, it will hurt.
Clean and dry beforehand the area you plan on sugaring. Be careful that this area is free from residue of soaps or lotions. It is said that sugaring will work the best on the upper lip hair line and the bikini area. This process is messy so it is best to do this in the bathroom or somewhere you can be sure clean up is as easy as possible.
Start by spreading some cornstarch on the area to be treated. Please note that whatever area you decide to treat the effects will last from two to six weeks with fine hair growth beginning to show about two weeks after the application. The more noticeable hair growths will show about four weeks after application.
After you have prepped the area with the cornstarch use the wooden stick or some similar applicator to apply a thin layer of the sugar mixture. Next, place a strip of cotton cloth over this. Use your hand to apply moderate pressure to this cloth rubbing it in the opposite direction of your hair growth. Take the end of the cloth strip and swiftly snatch it off in the opposite direction from that which your hair grows in. Use warm water on the treated skin to take off any of the sticky sugar mixture which may remain. If you desire, you can put an unscented lotion on the skin now.
Ahh, now you can relax you have mastered sugaring.

Inside Secrets of a Beauty Consultant - Painless Hair Removal Tips You Can Use
by: Nicola KennedyIf you have been shaving for a number of years you may be amazed when you hear claims that there is such a thing as painless hair removal that lasts. You will have tried everything for silky soft skin - shaving doesn't last, electrolysis and laser hair removal are too painful.
What you need to try is the new breed of epilators which gently pulls the hair while holding the skin firmly to ensure no pain.
Panasonic designs some unique and easy to use epilators that will make your day go so much easier. You will have the comfort of knowing that you will be hair free even in sensitive areas for up to 4 to 6 weeks with a Panasonic epilator.
The only most women are talking about is the Panasonic Skin Protector System Epilator. This awesome epilator holds down your skin while it gently pulls out the hair. The 32 tweezer discs will gently pull even the finest hair from the root and does not come in direct contact with your skin. The head of the Panasonic Epilator slides from side to side very smoothly to remove all the hair including ones that are around 0.5mm. This is one epilator that you are sure to use all the time. It can go cordless with its rechargeable battery or can also be used with the cord. To re-charge all you need to do is plug it in. I particularly recommend this epilator for very sensitive skin.
Another recommended Panasonic Epilator is the ES119AC Progressions Cosmetic Groomer. This is one unique epilator that can be used by either a man or woman. It was designed especially for use on the face and neck. This cool epilator is battery operated, so there are never any cords in the way, so it is much easier to use. You will enjoy taking it with you as you travel or when you need to remove hair on the go. The stainless steel microfine blades will give you a comfortable and easy way to remove unwanted hair.
Once you have tried an epilator you will never rely on anything else.

Hair Removal Tips For Bodybuilders
by: Mike JonesOne of the most time consuming and frustrating parts of bodybuilding is not building muscles, it's removing unwanted hair. For any competing bodybuilder, hair removal is a must but it's also growing in popularity among casual bodybuilders.
Before looking at recommendations for specific body areas it should be stated that laser hair removal or electrolysis are regarded as the only permanent hair removal methods.
Although the most effective, they are also the most expensive! For full information on laser hair removal and electrolysis, visit this Laser Research Library: http://www.about-hair-removal.com/Laser-Library
Here is checklist of body areas and recommended hair removal methods for each:
Upper Lip, Chin, Mustache and Beard -
Men: Shaving.
Women: Waxing or sugaring.
Back of Neck -
Men: Shaving, clipping.
Women: Waxing or sugaring
Chest -
Waxing, shaving, depilatories.
CAUTION: Some find the shaving option unacceptable due to the irritation it causes when stubble reappears shortly afterwards. There can also be an acute problem with ingrown hairs in some cases. Once the shaving option is taken for chest hair removal it will need to be done regularly.
Nipples -
Tweezing. Stretch the skin slightly, grip the hair close to the root, and pull gently, firmly and evenly. Yanking the hair may cause it to break off thus increasing the risk of ingrown hair.
Shoulders, Back, Arms, Hands, Tummy -
Waxing, sugaring, depilatories. Waxing or Sugaring is the best method for all these areas. Taking a shower directly after waxing the back helps eliminate the possibility of acne breakouts and skin redness.
Underarms -
Shaving is safe in this area. Hair under the arm grows in all directions so a side to side stroke as well as up and down strokes may be necessary to catch all the hairs. Do not apply deodorants or antiperspirants right after shaving as this can cause acute irritation and soreness. Waxing or sugaring are also safe.
Do not use depilatories to avoid the risk of chemical burns on the sensitive skin in this area.
After the skin in this area has become accustomed to shaving, applying a thin layer of Vaseline petroleum jelly instead of a shaving foam or gel will give a really close shave.
Pubic Area and Bikini Line -If the hair is long it can be cut down with scissors. Then use a waxing or sugaring solution. Careful shaving is also possible.
Genitals - Male -
Hair growing on the shaft of the penis and on the testicles can be removed by shaving using a new wet razor. Great care is needed to avoid cuts.
Genitals - Female -
Waxing or sugaring is generally best. Shaving will only cause stubble to appear after a few days and it may cause skin irritation and painful bumps.
Anus and Perineum -
The Perineum is the area of skin rich in nerve endings located below the anus. In men it extends to the base of the testicles, in women to the vaginal opening. The anus is a mucous membrane. Depilatories should not be used as they can result in serious damage. Shaving produces stubble which may cause irritation as the sides chafe and rub together. Waxing or sugaring are the best methods.
Legs, Feet, Toes -
Shaving the legs is popular but the hair grows back after a short time. Waxing or sugaring are preferred although you have to wait until there is about a quarter of an inch of growth.
