The next thing you can do prior is to exfoliate the skin just a bit. This will help all the dead skin come off and it will allow the sugar to stick to the hair better and will prevent any hair from getting left behind on the skin. Avoid tanning one or two before sugaring. If you tan before sugaring then the strip will stick to the layer of tan and with the hair, it will remove the tanning layer as well. During the day of sugaring, try not to have alcohol or caffeine. This is because alcohol and caffeine tighten up the pores which can make it difficult to pull out all the hair. If you don’t have a high pain tolerance then this tip is for you. You can take a pain killer 30 minutes before starting sugaring. This will help minimize the pain.  Before applying the paste, you can cover the skin with any powder so that it can make the hair stand out which will make the paste grab onto the hair more strongly. The technique used to apply the paste is by taking a small amount in a ball shape and layering it down against the hair development.
