The Shobha Sugaring Kit comes with the following: Shobha Sugaring Gel, Shobha Talc-Free Powder, Shobha Denim Strips, Shobha Sugaring Instruction Booklet and Shobha Spatulas. The "sugaring gel" is free of parabens, dyes, fragrances, petrols, resins and waxes- and is water soluble, which makes for an easy clean-up! Also, because the sugaring gel is water soluble, both the denim strips and spatulas are reusable.
So my first step in testing out the kit, was to read the instruction booklet. Let me repeat: "read the instruction booklet"! Though I'm a licensed esthetician, I always read product instructions in order to ensure the best possible outcome. After reading the instructions, I realized how straight forward it was going to be to use the kit. I heated the sugaring gel in the microwave and used the small spatula to remove hair from smaller areas (face & underarms) and the larger spatula on larger areas (legs & bikini). Oh, and I did use the Talc-Free Powder to prep my skin (very important!) before hair removal.
The hair removal process was pain-free - well, except for my underarms. I think I'm just super sensitive there in general, plus the hair grows in so many different directions that I had to work in smaller sections- and holding the skin taut while preparing to remove the denim strip was a challenge. Oh, and I did cut the denim strips into smaller strips for better control of this area.
The kit is a great investment, easy to use, with easy to follow instructions. Perfect for all the recessionistas out there- you'll only use thin layers of the sugaring gel with each use and the denim strips and spatulas are reusable, so this kit should last for many, many months!
