so one of the most common questions I get is where can I use my sugar and the short answer is everywhere but today I'm gonna show you guys how I sugar my armpits and go from this to this so first and foremost you do want to make sure that your skin is clean and then you want to powder the skin this is going to absorb any moisture that is left after cleansing it and absorb any sweat because you're probably nervous at this point because you're about to rip your hair out so baby powder corn starch
arrowroot powder rice flour and as a matter of fact you can even use the powder that you use to set your makeup if you guys have seen any of the videos on how I make my sugar paste then I'm using the soft formula but before you apply it to the skin you want to get in front of a mirror and see which direction the hair is growing as you can see the lower part of my armpit the hair grows down and on the upper part it grows up and I have to say that this is
pretty common and if you can't really tell which direction that your hair is growing in maybe your hair is curlier than mine then what you want to do is lightly run your finger against the hair and direction that you feel the most resistance that's the direction you're going to apply your sugar so now we're going to approach this in sections this section is growing down so that means I'm gonna apply my sugar going up you molded the sugar into the hair two to three times exactly like I have a good grip a pool so as
you can see the section that I just did is completely clean this is how you want to hold your arm when you're doing your underarms you want to raise your hand like you're in class and you need to ask the teacher a question and then you actually want to bend your arm at the elbow and then grip the upper shoulder of your arm and what this is gonna do is it's going to pull the skin on the inside of your armpit very tight and this is super important if you do not hold your skin tight
before you pull that sugar you're going to bruise yourself and it's gonna hurt when we rip we pull the hair out in the natural direction that grows so it's more likely to come out very easily and this is one of the benefits to sugaring rather than waxing so this side is done so I'll do is a damp washcloth and let it break down any residual sugar that might be on my skin I love to use fresh aloe but when I do my armpits I actually prefer to use witch hazel and the reason why is because
it is an astringent so it's actually going to kind of constrict your pores and tell them to close up and so after your toner put on a little bit of baby powder because at this point you actually don't want to put on deodorant so that powder is going to help absorb any sweat that you might have throughout the remainder of the day but not irritate your skin that is my showering process this is one of the ways that I keep my skin tone even especially because at one point I had had a really bad reaction
to a deodorant literally made my skin like five or six shades darker which was not cute so I hope you guys enjoyed this video if you did as usual please give it a thumbs up because it really lets me know what you want to see and let me know in the comments what other videos you guys want to see whether they be sugar or a non sugar related if you guys have any questions leave them in the comments below and I'll see you next week
