Sugar wax always needs to be warmed up first, in which way depends on which sugar resin you use. This can be done in the microwave or heater. First read carefully the leaflet or user manual to find out the best way to warm up your sugar wax. Then take a small amount of sugar paste and make a ball of it with your fingers. Lubricate the ball against the direction of hair growth and with gentle movements. If the sugar wax is pulled off (in the direction of hair growth), it's best to do this quickly while pulling the skin of the treated area tight. This will ease the pain and help prevent stickiness.
