29 terrific helpful tips for successful bikini sugaring at home

How do you go about sugaring the pubic/Bikini/Brazilian area (Otherwise known as sugaring the bikini area or a sugar Brazilian)?

WARNING: This post contains nudity in a non-sexual professional setting. This post is for instructional use only!

I, personally, can attest to this. I AM able to do the bikini line and pubic/Bikini/Brazilin area myself and so can YOU with some patience and research. Yes, I said research. Sugaring is unlike any other hair removal out there readily available. At this time, you can't just go to Walgreens and buy organic sugaring hair removal. Why? I'd like to know that myself. It's been around since the ancient Egyptians, so why isn't it easier for us to get, like razors and depilatory creams (which, I might add are both bad for the eco-system and environment).

What do you think is going to happen to the room temperature sugaring paste when you apply it to your skin say....right after a shower? It's going to melt, get sticky, and hard to work with because the bathroom is the most humid room in the house. Room temperature - your immediate environment play a role in sugaring.

Make sure the spot you choose to get comfortable (don't try to sit on the toilet and sugar!) is like I said...COOL AND DRY. This would not be your bathroom. Humidity abounds in a bathroom y'all. Think Bedroom, living room, den...

Supplies? What will you need for successful smooth bikini results when you use sugaring hair removal at home?

IF you choose to go to a salon for sugaring sessions for whatever reason, please keep in mind that not all salons use organic ingredients. From my research, I've found three main larger sugaring suppliers to salons. There are Alexandria's Professional Sugaring, Tamara's Professional Body Sugaring, and Sugar Love Professional Sugaring.

You will notice that there are two colors (types) of sugaring paste. They do the same thing, but one "color" is organic and the other is natural. Ha...yes..confusing, I know.

DARK sugaring paste is typically made from organic raw sugar and is a thicker consistency

Light HONEY colored sugaring paste is typically from white processed sugar and is a softer consistency.

There's the difference.

I use raw unprocessed sugar (not white bleached and refined), freshly squeezed lemon juice (not from concentrate or store-bought bottled) and water...not tap or fluoride treated that's chemicals - Fresh mountain filtered water. (FYI - so does Jessa Skincare)

In my JBHomemade Shop on Etsy with all organic sugaring paste orders, I include and applicator, a pouch of corn starch and a sample of my Pure Aloe for soothing after-sugaring care.

Ok... on to the videos! And hey...it isn't me in the videos...(lord knows my southern man would be a bit peeved with me, to say the least, if I was this brave!)

These are how I LEARNED how to properly do my bikini line and Brazilian.

Truth be told, I DO have to call the honey in when I'm ready for the backside.

He's learned how to sugar as well. He thinks its the coolest thing since sliced bread.

I do his back and his neck so he has learned the method by having me sugar him.

He does a really good job! Plus..the added bonus....well sex is incredible after sugaring!

(NOT RIGHT AFTER...I'm talking the smoothness..ya gotta wait at least a few hours)

Use plenty of the Powder/Corn starch: This ensures there is no moisture to the skin. Helps with pain level as well.
For beginners, start with using a smaller size "ball". Using the applicator provided or your fingers only, begin sugaring in this most delicate area using a "ball" of sugar about the size of a penny. *Remember - smaller areas/detail areas or areas that are more sensitive use a smaller ball.
Your environment is important. If you need to make adjustments, it is in your (and your bikini area's) best interest. *Be in a Cool Dry room! Room temperature 62-72° is ideal with fan circulation
YOUR body temperature plays a role in Sugaring paste. Use a personal fan or even be near your air conditioner vent if you need to.
Don't try to sugar right after a shower or bath or right after working out or getting hot/sweaty.
Use a mirror! Sit on the floor on a towel. Position yourself and a mirror so that you can see what you are doing! Don't try to just feel your way around.
Try to keep skin tight and taut. You will be using one hand to manipulate the sugaring paste. Use your free hand to pull the skin tight and taut for the area you are working on.
If you’ve let your bikini area hair grow out for a while, you’ll definitely want to trim before sugaring. Recommended 1/8” to 1/4" OR if it’s short, let it grow to at least 1/8”
Always start on less sensitive areas like the back of the thigh or low belly. Work your way in small areas to the more sensitive areas “towards the center line”.
Be mindful of your bikini area’s growth pattern. When you use sugaring, you apply in the OPPOSITE direction of growth. The hair in the area is probably going to grow toward the front, toward the centerline, or some combination.
Prepare your skin before sugaring! About 48 hours prior to sugaring, it may be a good idea for you first-timers to give the area a good exfoliating scrub. Use a NATURAL, NON-OILY, gentle scrub.
Use your palms to roll a small scoop of sugar wax into a ball. Do not knead the paste excessively; doing so will overheat the wax, making it stickier and less able to grip the hair.
Place the sugaring ball over a small section of your bikini line. Use your fingertips or the applicator provided to flatten the paste until it is about 1/4 inch thick.
Remove the sugaring paste by either pinching one edge then pulling quickly in the same direction of hair growth or by using the applicator as an “extension of your fingers”. You will use a “flicking” motion with your wrist. This helps to avoid breakage & ingrown hairs.
Repeat the process on another section of bikini hair until the area is smooth. Remember that unlike waxing, when you use sugaring you CAN go over those stubborn hairs more than once.
Spread the sugaring paste three to four times in the opposite direction of hair growth. It helps to count out loud to help keep your pace. Not too fast, not too slow
Once the sides are complete, move on to the next area, repeating the steps. Apply the cornstarch or powder to the area to be sugared .
Remember that you will be using small balls of sugar paste and removing lots of hair. When you get too much hair in the sugaring paste, just throw it away and grab another ball. Don’t wait until the sugar gets warm or sticky... You’ll avoid getting “sugar stuck”.
Some flexibility may be required if you are attempting to do a Brazilian. A handheld mirror helps too!
Important: Keep the area dry! There is a moisture issue because of where you're working, which could make the paste too gummy and difficult to remove. This can lead to unnecessary pain and possible bruising. The pain may also cause you to sweat. Reapply cornstarch as needed.
The first time you sugar at home, it may take you a lot longer than you think, so set some time aside.
Determine how much hair you would like to remove and exactly from where before you start.
If you are just cleaning up the sides, you can do this from a reclining position.
You will be working from the outside toward the center. The bikini hair that reaches your upper/inner thigh most likely grows downward.
In your "triangle" the hair most likely grows downward or inward in this area. Just apply the paste horizontally from the center line toward the edge or upwards towards your belly.
What will you need for successful results? A personal fan! I recommend a fan when you do Pubic/Bikini/Brazilin sugaring because it will keep you cool and dry. Remember: the bikini area is typically the warmest (and moistest) area of the female body!
Advice from my doctor (before I sugared 'there' for the first time I asked my doctor, who happens to be of Persian descent, some tips. She is very familiar with sugaring because her aunts, mom, and so on use sugaring in their culture): I know it goes against going organic with the hair removal, but she suggested using Lidocaine Spray (You know...the stuff you use when you get a sunburn that sprays on and numbs?) She said spray on 45 minutes before sugaring. Let it dry/soak it get to work. After 45 minutes, use a towel to ensure every bit of hairs and skin is dry. THEN start applying the powder/cornstarch and moving forward.
*Note I'm actually in the process now of making a large batch of a plant-based, natural (one would say holistic) tincture that will be listed for this purpose.
Make sure you watch the videos provided on my Facebook page or Youtube--they are for legs, underarms, facial hair and "fingerprint test for paste readiness", but will at least give you some helpful hints.

	Before and after side by side. Notice there isn't much in the way of redness or sensitivity AND NO swelling! Smooth as a petal naturally!
	Give your honey a sweet gift... You'll be surprised how nice and smooth = enhanced lovemaking! smooth = enhanced lovemaking!
	Which would you choose?
	You can use organic sugaring from your brows to your toes. The only thing this image is missing from the image, I believe is men's underarms.	What about bodybuilders and athletes? They'd do their underarms, bellies, and backs!
