Why Aftercare Matters
Proper aftercare is just as important as the sugaring treatment itself. Whether you've just had your first sugaring session or you're a regular client at Sugar Coated Skin, following these guidelines will help you maintain smooth skin longer, prevent ingrown hairs, and keep your skin healthy between appointments.

After 48 Hours: Ongoing Care

Exfoliation is Key

Even with the best aftercare, occasional ingrown hairs can happen. Here's how to handle them:
