What is Sugaring and Hair Removal Cream?
Hair removal creams work by breaking down the keratin protein in your hair. It damages it until it is so soft and weak that the hairs can be wiped away.
On the other hand sugaring is a new type of hair removal technique that pulls your hairs using a sugaring paste which is essential a mixture of sugar, lemon and water. The key difference is that the hairs are pulled in the natural direction. This is surprisingly found not be as painful when compared to traditional waxing.
What is the difference?
Both sugaring and depilatory cream are quick. The amount it takes to get rid of the hairs is more or less the same. They both work well with soft and thin hairs. They both offer stubble free skin however with depilatory cream the hair can regrowth in as little as two days.
Which one is more painful?
Depilatory cream are known to be pain free. This is possibly the most important benefit of hair removal creams.
However, sugaring is on last place on the pain ladder. If you are able to tolerate little pain this is for you. As Emily Rekstis from SELF had found that sugaring is a mild stinging sensation and the best part is the more you do it the less pain you feel because unlike with depilatory cream the roots of the hairs are removed. The follicles are not fed nutrients and over time the experience becomes more gentle.
Winner: Depilatory Cream
Which one lasts longer?
Depilatory creams tend to remove only the outer part of the hairs, thus the results only last around 2-3 days. Sugaring however lasts around 4-6 weeks. The experience with sugaring is also more satisfactory as there is less irritation and you do not have to deal with stubble after 2-3 days.
