Help / tips

We set ourselves the goal of developing a sugar paste that is as easy as possible to apply. You should be able to remove hair by closely following the sugaring steps described. But of course, you need practice to perfect the technique. But if you are still having problems, you might find a solution here.

Paste is too soft
Certainly one of the most common mistakes made by beginners is starting with a sugar paste that is too soft. This simply “sticks” to the skin. Refer to section: HairExPil products

Without gloves
Hair removal without gloves or with ill-fitting gloves is extremely tedious. Skin-tight disposable gloves made of vinyl or latex are essential for efficient hair removal because bare hands emit moisture without you realising. Gloves are available in our Online shop.

Parallel removal of the paste
It is very important that the paste is pulled off as parallel to the surface of the skin as possible, but this can be quite difficult to begin with. The most common error is that people jerk the sugar paste up, instead of pulling it off in a parallel motion. This results in blue marks and the paste does not come off easily.

The technique just takes practice. Don’t give up straight away!

Tip: You’re best to practice on your own shin, where the skin is relatively tight. You can even practice without hair. But in any case, please do not practice hair removal for the first time around the armpit or bikini area.
