Is sugaring a good option for people with Eczema or Psoriasis skin conditions?

Sugaring is safe for these conditions because it will not further damage the skin. The process – if correctly learned and practiced – will gently exfoliate the skin cell accumulation in the effected eczema or psoriasis areas. But that’s not where the sugaring stops… there are triple-instant benefit from the sugaring.

Sugar has a natural healing property... making it an ideal natural product to exfoliate damaged skin! When sugaring over the effected area, some of the sugar seeps below the skin’s surface. While the sugar is on/in the skin cells, it is promoting healing. Applying the sugar and flicking to remove simultaneously serves as a gentle exfoliation and healing procedure. Sugaring offers instant hair removal without causing further damage.

If you are concerned, please consult your physician prior to sugaring.
