Why Candiskin?

Candiskin, also known as sugaring technique. It has its own set of advantages, as compared to traditional waxing (commonly known as hot wax). Here's a comparison:

Pros of Candiskin (Sugaring Wax):

  1. Natural Ingredients: Like sugaring paste, candiskin is made from natural ingredients like sugar, water, honey and lemon juice, reducing the risk of skin irritation.
  2. Less Painful: Candiskin is typically less painful than traditional hot wax because it adheres less to the skin and is applied at a lukewarm temperature.
  3. Exfoliation: Similar to sugaring paste, candiskin acts as a gentle exfoliant, helping to remove dead skin cells and leaving your skin smoother.
  4. Slower Hair Regrowth: Candiskin removes hair from the root, leading to slower hair regrowth compared to shaving.
  5. Reduced Ingrown Hairs: It's less likely to cause ingrown hairs since it removes hair in the direction of growth.
  6. Water Soluble: Candiskin is water-soluble, making cleanup easy with just water.
  7. Eco-Friendly: It's environmentally friendly because the ingredients are biodegradable.

Cons of Normal Wax (Hot Wax):

  1. Potentially More Painful: Hot wax is applied at a higher temperature and can be more painful during application and removal.
  2. Chemical Additives: Traditional wax often contains additives and chemicals, which can irritate sensitive skin.
  3. Higher Risk of Burns: The hot temperature of traditional wax can lead to burns or scalding if not used correctly.
  4. Shorter Regrowth Time: Compared to sugaring or Candiskin, hair tends to regrow more quickly after traditional waxing because it's often removed against the direction of hair growth.
  5. Increased Risk of Ingrown Hairs: Waxing against the hair growth direction can increase the likelihood of ingrown hairs.
  6. Specialized Removers Needed: Removing wax residue from the skin or surfaces usually requires special wax removers, which can be an added expense.
  7. Not Suitable for Sensitive Skin: Traditional waxing may not be suitable for those with sensitive or allergy-prone skin due to the chemical additives.
  8. Potential Allergies: Some people may be allergic to the ingredients or additives in traditional wax.
