published under sweet advice on June 24^th 2025

We all know how much damage the sun can do to our skin. With this in mind it is advisable not to do any kind of hair removal on any area that has been, or will be exposed to UV rays.

UV rays & hair removal

Always give your skin some time to rest before or after any kind of hair removal, be it waxing, or sugaring. The chances of sunburn can be increased as the dead skin cells are removed. Let your skin settle and do any kind of hair removal at least 2 days after or a couple of days before. Never do it on the same day. If you have been sunburnt, it will only irritate the skin further can cause long-term damage and even scaring.

No matter what product you use be it wax strips with aloe vera or sugar with added manuka honey, these are all marketing gimmicks. Our sugar or anyone else’s wax or sugar, must not be used on any skin that has been or will be, exposed to UV rays – please do not do it and always follow full instructions.

It is summer! Please be a little more vigilant and take care of your skin.
