Philadelphia, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/26/2016 -- The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) recently published an article recommending that dermatologists educate themselves and their clients about the benefits of sugaring, an ancient epilatory technique that removes hair from the root using gentle, all-natural ingredients. Though previously unknown to much of the beauty world, it has recently been popularized by salons like Green City Beauty, a salon in Philadelphia that offers this alternative to waxing as well as other natural beauty services. Green City is delighted to share the news of sugaring's recognition by JAMA with its clients.
The JAMA article, published in the June 2016 issue, notes that sugaring, a technique invented by the Ancient Egyptians, is a cost-effective and low-risk hair removal method. The water-based sugar paste used during the process is gentler on skin than traditional hot wax, and since the formula adheres to hair, not skin, it presents less risk of skin irritation than waxing does. Additionally, sugaring can be used on hairs as short as 1/16", whereas traditional waxing requires that hair be at least 1/4" long. Lastly, the water-based sugar paste can more easily penetrate the hair follicle than hot wax, which means that it carries a lower risk of breakage, resulting in fewer ingrown hairs and a longer wait time between treatments.
Green City Beauty is thrilled that JAMA has recognized how effective sugaring is for clients who want a natural, gentle alternative to traditional Philadelphia waxing salons. The salon hopes that more newcomers to sugaring will discover how this ancient technique will help them attain a happy, healthy glow. To learn more, visit http://greencitybeauty.com.
