Happy fall! If you’re planning on escaping somewhere lovely and warm before winter arrives (cue Game of Thrones’ ‘Winter is Coming’ meme), then you probably want to book a Sugar’d appointment before you go.

Here’s what we’re thinking: if you love smooth skin and you’re willing to have hair pulled from your body to achieve it, you probably want to keep it as smooth as possible for as long as you can—why not come back from a vacation and still have smooth skin for days or even weeks?

Right?!

Here are 3 ways to keep your smooth skin glowing and radiant for longer:

Exfoliate

This is probably the most important thing you can do to extend your sugaring results. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells and keeps your skin smooth, soft, and healthy. (It also contributes to younger looking skin.)

We recommend exfoliating every day (or every other day), except for the day of your sugaring appointment, and the two days directly after.

Those days are rest days.

Moisturize

After you exfoliate, we suggest moisturizing your skin with something unscented and kind. When you remove dead skin cells, it’s leaves the skin somewhat stripped. Inject some moisture back into the area by lubing up, after.

Note: like exfoliating, we suggest no moisturizing the day of your Sugar’d appointment, and up to two days after. (This is how long it takes your pores to close.)

Keep It Up

This is also important.

Your hair (and skin) have a natural cycle of growth. You can figure out when the best time to book your sugaring appointments are (usually every 4-5 weeks), and then keep up with the schedule—it’s all about consistent, regular maintenance.

By taking our advice, you should be able to extend the life of your smooth skin, post-hair removal.

If you need to book a Sugar’d appointment, visit our website and find the location closest to you—we have four of them in Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford, and Chilliwack.

Enjoy the beautiful autumn weather, friends!
