      Your esthetician should be dusting your skin with powder so that it doesn’t take any skin off at all

        When I’m not struggling to stay awake tomorrow I’ll put to rest all the anti-wax myths OP just perpetuated, but sugaring is far more risky than waxing. If they they have good enough results sugaring themselves then that is great, but coming from someone in business, sugaring is a growing trend that is hurting people in their most sensitive areas. I’d be open to an AMA on the subject of aesthetics and hair removal as well because the amount of myth surrounding it is super high. There’s a reason people see professionals.

      Wax uses a higher heat point to work, which is why so many people get burns when waxed. Sugar uses a much cooler heat point, so it won’t burn you.

      I assume that “wax”, “sugar” and “heat point” have some special definitions in this context? The melting point for paraffin wax is somewhere between 40°C to 60°C, the melting point of sucrose is around 185°C.
