Italwax Soft Sugar Paste 600 g is a soft-consistency paste created for cool, well-air-conditioned rooms. It is suitable for large areas such as the arms and legs. You can work it with your hands, gloves, or strips.

What it does for you

• Stays pliable in a cool room, where a harder paste would be difficult to spread.
• Two techniques: spread and pull it off with your hands or remove it with hair removal strips.
• Convenient to use with gloves, as recommended by the brand.
• Does not run or melt while working, although it is soft and pliable.
• Simple recipe: sugar, water, and cornstarch, without citric acid. Residues are washed off with water.

How to use it at home

1. Cleanse the skin with a pre-epilation lotion. If the skin is damp, apply a little talcum powder.
2. Put on your gloves and take a piece of paste.
3. Spread it against the direction of hair growth using gentle movements.
4. Smooth out the skin well and pull the paste off quickly in the direction of hair growth, parallel to the skin. If you are using strips, place the strip over the paste, press it down, and pull it off in the same way.
5. Touch the area with your free palm immediately after pulling.
6. Do not pass over the same area more than 3 times.

For what skin type and area

For large areas such as the arms and legs in a cool room. If the room is warm or you are working on damp areas, choose Strong. Italwax warns that sugar hair removal requires skill. Do not use it on skin with wounds or lesions. The brand lists diabetes as a contraindication.

Active ingredients

• Sugar and water: the base of the paste, along with cornstarch.

What it does for you

• Works on warm and damp areas of the body, which is what the brand designed it for.
• Short recipe: only sugar, water, and cornstarch, without citric acid.

For what type of skin and area
