Sugar waxing, also known as candying, is a natural hair removal method in which a paste of sugars, water, lemon, and—with Skin Candy—additional xylitol is gently spread over the skin and removed in the direction of hair growth. Particularly suitable for the face: even the finest hairs are removed, without any waiting time.
Why candying feels better than waxing
- Only sticks to dead skin cells, not to living skin epithelium — less pain and irritation, even on sensitive facial skin
- Working in the direction of hair growth prevents hair breakage in the follicle — fewer ingrown hairs and softer regrowth
- After multiple treatments, hair follicles become thinner and hair growth gradually decreases
Skin Candy: Scandinavian brand with Xylitol
We work with Scandinavian Skin Candy, a Swedish/Finnish brand that combines sugar waxing with 40%+ xylitol in every paste. This patented formula is:
-
Antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal — for a safe, hygienic treatment
-
Moisturizing — xylitol binds moisture and prevents dehydration; your skin feels saturated and comfortable
-
Gentle to use — with a softer texture than traditional sugar pastes, ideal for delicate facial skin
Benefits at a glance
- Gentle & nourishing — no aggressive wax, but nutrition and hydration in one
- Less redness and irritation — also suitable for sensitive facial skin
- Deep and lasting hair removal — less hair growth after multiple sessions
- Hygienic & safe — antibacterial xylitol, no synthetic resin
- Shorter hair length required — ideal if you want to get back to it quickly
Who is facial sugar waxing not suitable for?
- Open wounds, sunburn, skin infections (herpes, active eczema, psoriasis plaques)
- Unstable skin conditions or recent chemical peels and laser treatments — consult your skin therapist or doctor first
- For known allergies, we recommend an allergy test, even though the paste contains no preservatives or aggressive ingredients
What to expect when booking?
After your appointment, you will receive a questionnaire via email that must be completed before the treatment. We will ask about your skin condition, medication or skin therapy in recent weeks, and any allergies or skin problems. This way, we make your treatment safe and truly personal.
