Keep it simple: sugar, lemon juice, water and a touch of glycerin. That’s all you’ll find in our signature Shobha Sugarwax. Because it adheres more to the hair than to the top layer of skin, many find it to be less painful and irritating than traditional wax. Come feel the difference! ✨

Should you sugar or thread your face? Read on for a little Shobha history lesson regarding the evolution of our facial hair removal offerings ⬇️

Previous to the summer of 2009, we always recommended threading for the face and sugaring below the neck. However, we discovered that many of our clients were going elsewhere for facial areas such as lip or sideburns to use WAX!

We were shocked; why would anyone want to use wax on their face when they could thread? Many of our clients told us that the threading was just too much as they had a lot of hair in those areas, and to remove it in this way was too painful for them since the process took longer than just a strip of wax.

We listened to our clients and decided that with our Shobha® Sugaring Gel we could offer you a gentler, natural alternative to wax. We now offer Shobha® Sugaring for all face areas except for the brows and forehead which we will continue to offer only with threading, due to the sensitivity of these areas, as well as the precision needed for an awesome brow shape! This protects the delicate skin around the eyes and keeps from accidental removal of any portion of the hairline.

Safe to use up to twice a day anywhere on the body, including sensitive areas like bikini, neck and face this topical exfoliant keeps hair from getting trapped under the top layer of skin. Apply after bathing to eliminate the tell-tale signs of sensitivity from hair removal with Shobha Ingrown Relief Lotion! ✨

For the best results, we recommend avoiding the beach and the pool for 48 hours after your waxing or sugaring service. Chlorine and sand can irritate the skin, especially when your pores are still open from having the hair removed by the root. You want to stick to the shade, too. Your skin will be more susceptible to sun damage after waxing because the top layer has been removed. And don’t forget the SPF (30+)!!

MYTH: you don’t have to wear sunscreen when it’s cloudy.

FACT: Clouds block as little as 20% of UV rays.

This is so important to know for all kinds of hair removal, especially laser hair removal!

Many don’t realize, when it comes to laser hair removal, even walking from your parking spot to the grocery store in shorts can “count” as sun exposure on your legs.

“Sun exposure” doesn’t just refer to the obvious like laying out at the pool in a bathing suit. Any tan, whether it’s from UV rays (even on a cloudy day) can cause a reaction in your skin.
