Preparation and aftercare for hair removal
What to consider before the depilation date with sugar gel for the different hair removal methods
You've shaved so far:
For an optimal result, we recommend that you stop shaving from spring to autumn at least 2 weeks before your treatment. This also applies if you are experiencing rapid hair growth.
If your hair growth is rather slow or you decide to dehair with sugar gel during the winter season, you can even expect 2 to 3 weeks. Because the individual hairs should have a length of at least 5 millimeters. You can read more about this under Hair and hair growth under “growth phases and their function. ”
If you suffer from ingrown hair (hair under the skin), we recommend an effective yet extremely gentle exfoliation with our purely natural peel silk, specially made in Turkey, to remove dead skin cells. The last peeling of this kind should be done no less than 7 days before your depilation date in order to achieve the greatest possible effect for you. Get all the necessary tips to prevent the growth of hair under ingrown hair.
Please do not use any greasing or oily bath additives, showering agents or body lotions 24 hours before your hair removal date. Not only do we want to get a grip on their unwanted hair, but we also want to gently remove all their dead skin scales with our specially produced “Grandma’s Sugar” sugar gel.
You have epilated yourself with a home appliance:
Experience has shown that the use of home appliances often results in ingrown hair. The hair is flexible in itself. That means if you gently pull it with your fingers, a hair gives way. The rather ungentle rigid epilator does not touch the flexible hair in a gentle way. Accordingly, a high tension develops, which can lead to hair breakage in certain hair types.
However, the hair does not break off above the skin, but just below it. This may cause skin irritation. These in turn make it difficult for the hair to get back to the skin surface. Grown hairs are the result. In this case, your skin is uneven and patchy. It may cause itching, which in turn encourages scratching. If you are aware of any of the scenarios described above, we recommend the following.
Do not depilate with your home appliance for three weeks before your depilation date. In order to get an optimal result, you should do one or two really efficient exfoliations against ingrown hair in advance with our purely natural peel silk specially made in Turkey.
For the greatest possible effect, we recommend that you apply this effective exfoliation against ingrown hair (hair under the skin) no less than 7 days before your date of depilation. Get all the tips you need to get rid of ingrown hair, under ingrown hair.
Please do not use any greasing or oily bath additives, showering agents or body lotions 24 hours before your hair removal date. Not only do we want to get a grip on their unwanted hair, but we also want to gently remove all their dry skin scales with our specially made sugar gel from “Grandma’s Sugar".
You have so far stripped with sugar gel or wax:
For optimal results, we recommend that you stop epilation from spring to autumn at least 3 weeks before your depilation date. This also applies if you are experiencing rapid hair growth.
If your hair growth is rather slow or you decide to depilate during the winter season with the sugar gel from “Grandma’s Sugar”, we recommend that you let your hair grow for 4 weeks until your appointment.
It is very possible to remove hair with a hair length of 5 millimeters with the sugar gel. However, each hair follows its own rhythm. This means that, at intervals that are too short, there are only hairs that have not yet made it to the surface of the skin. The affected areas are located below the skin surface and are unfortunately still untouchable for us.
Please make sure that you perform one or two really efficient exfoliations against ingrown hair in advance, with our purely natural peel silk made especially in Turkey.
The last peeling of this kind should be done no less than 7 days before your depilation date in order to achieve the greatest possible effect for you. You can read more about this under Hair and Hair Growth under “Growth Phases and Function. ”
Please do not use any greasing or oily bath additives, showering agents or body lotions 24 hours before your hair removal date. Because in addition to their unwanted hair, we also want to get a grip on all their dry skin scales, gently remove them with our specially produced sugar gel from “Grandma’s Sugar. ”

Experience shows that a skin rash usually only occurs in men in the areas chest & abdomen or back & shoulders. With a regular depilation interval of 4 to 5 weeks, no such skin reactions occur after the 3rd treatment at the latest.
