When carrying out the procedure to yourself at home, you do not have to worry about some of the nuances. But with professional shugaring, even a novice master should prepare all the necessary consumables. They are disposable, so you should stock up on them before each procedure. A list of consumables is shown below.

• The sheet is disposable. The most commonly used spunbond nonwoven in a roll. It is enough to cut off the required amount and spread the couch before the client lies down on it.

• Cotton pads. Used to apply certain cosmetics to the skin.
• Paper and wet wipes. Allows you to remove excess sugar paste.

• Voskoplav. Heaters for sugar paste can be universal, canned or cartridge. They are selected for the type of paste. The device allows you to heat the material to the desired temperature.

• plastic (disposable materials);
• wooden (used to distribute the paste over the body, they quickly deteriorate);
• iron (spatulas are washed, treated with a solution for disinfection and sterilized in any devices).

Another important tool for a shugaring master is metal tweezers. After the procedure, you should examine the area of ​​the skin that was treated.

A professional craftsman is sure to use gloves, an apron and a hat... It is simply necessary both from a hygienic point of view and for protection.

This is a pretty important step. The paste adheres better to thoroughly cleansed skin, the procedure is faster. Additionally, an antiseptic gel is used after hair removal. This gets rid of all bacteria that can cause infections on irritated skin.

• Scrub and talcum powder. The first one allows you to get rid of dead skin. Then talcum powder is applied to the work surface.
