Sugaring Arabia. Reviews from cosmetologists about the paste. Learning how to do depilation

Looking for cosmetics for every day? Pay attention to ARAVIA Laboratories - a young and vibrant brand for regular face and body skin care. The brand is developed by the Russian company, known for the ARAVIA Professional and Start Epil brands.

The concept of the ARAVIA Laboratories line is simple, relevant and effective cosmetics at an affordable price. The brand will fit perfectly into the cosmetic bag of residents of big cities, who value working ingredients and follow beauty trends.

Arabia product range

Arabia produces high quality products according to a number of characteristics. The products are divided into two lines: professional, intended for salons, and home, which can be used by both beginners who are just starting their professional journey in sugaring, and people who have not undergone training. The first is called Arabia Professional, and the series for home use is Start Epil.

Both lines can be used using several sugaring techniques: manual, using a spatula, mixed and bandage.

The paste is sold in two packaging options: cartridge and jar. The first is a “roller” that rolls the paste over the desired area of ​​skin. The cartridge volume is 150 ml. The volume of paste in the jar is 750 ml, and you need to collect the paste for depilation manually.

Composition of Arabia paste

The composition of pastes from this company is not very diverse: glucose (natural carbohydrate), fructose (sugar contained in honey) and purified water. The difference is only in the density of the paste.

Soft pastes are suitable for beginners, as the pain when working with them is less intense, but at the same time they melt quickly.

Medium density pastes are best used for removing hair from large areas. They are also used for mixing with soft paste to form “sticks”. This happens when the paste has melted or the master “pulled” it not sharply enough.

Thick pastes are suitable for both masters and beginners for treating individual areas of the body. The procedure carried out with their help is most painful, but practically no “sticking” is formed, in addition, the pastes take longer to melt. The company is constantly conducting new experiments to develop a paste that is more convenient to use and has a composition that is beneficial for the skin.

Aravia, Face cream with urea 10% - cost, appearance, composition

I would like to draw the reader’s attention to this brand. The Arabia company is one of the largest Russian manufacturers of professional cosmetics. The basis of cosmetics is exclusively natural ingredients containing essential oils, vitamins and amino acids, which provide proper care for the skin.

Finally, my long-awaited cream arrived at the order pick-up point and I, joyful, took it. Aravia with 10% urea cost me 403 rubles with a discount. The original cost was 577 rubles.

I think that the cost of the cream is quite justified, because it suited my “tired” and dry skin perfectly. About a year ago I was given a cream from L'Oreal Paris, the price of which was slightly higher, but it could not have the same effect on the skin of my face.

Although the manufacturer also claimed to moisturize the skin thanks to the oils it contains. However, no miracle happened. Therefore, I have something to compare with.

In addition to Yandex.Market, Aravia Face Cream with urea 10% can be purchased on Ozone, in Letual and Golden Apple stores.

The cream has a delicate milky color and the consistency resembles thick sour cream. It is very pleasant to apply to the skin, which immediately becomes soft and elastic. At the same time, it cools slightly, which is also pleasant to feel.

The packaging has a very interesting design in white and gray tones with purple fragments that shimmer in the light. In a word, the manufacturer took care of the presentable appearance of its product.

Intensively moisturizing face cream with urea (as its name sounds in the original) is intended for facial skin. Urea included in the composition is an excellent natural moisturizer that nourishes the skin well.

Disadvantages of Arabia pastes

The pastes have very few disadvantages.

The main ones include the following:

1. The products are not overpriced, but not all girls can afford to use the products. Sometimes it is more profitable to go to a sugaring session than to buy a paste, which will not always be convenient to use.
2. Despite the minimum number of procedures indicated on the company’s website, for which one or another package of paste is enough, customers complain that it ends much faster if it is not used extremely economically.

Varieties

Soft caramel

Soft mixture. Ideal for skin that is prone to irritation and for removing fuzz. The paste melts and flows easily, so the procedure should be carried out in a room with a low temperature, and the master should work with gloves.

“Soft” in the home use line, “Honey” and “Natural” from the professional line fit this characteristic.

Medium softness

With medium soft paste it can already be worked at room temperature. The paste copes with fine soft hair and medium hair, as well as coarse hair on sensitive areas of the skin. The paste must be heated before use.

Among homemade products, this is “Medium” pasta. The series for experienced craftsmen includes “Tropical” paste.

Both soft and medium

The sugar mixture, which combines both of the above types of paste, is produced under the name “Universal” in the home series and “Light” with “Light and Soft” in the professional series.

According to reviews, Arabia light paste for sugaring was suitable for hair removal of problem and delicate areas

This paste is very flexible, easily takes the desired shape and is easy to use on problem areas (bikini, knees, elbows, hips).

Hard paste

Paste with very hard density. It can be used in almost any conditions. It must be warmed well before use.

It is used for depilation of problematic, coarse, red hair.

In the Start Epil line, this mixture corresponds to a “Dense” paste. There is no cartridge option for it.

The professional line includes 3 pastes:

1. "Vanilla-creamy."
2. "Natural".
3. "Tropical"

The last two have a similar name to their soft counterparts, so when purchasing, you need to pay attention to the packaging.

Home Line Arabia

Sugaring with Arabia products can also be done at home. To do this, the company produces a special line called Start Epil, which includes four main sugaring pastes. Reviews from customers of this line are almost all positive.

The paste is produced in three cans of different weights: 200 g, 400 g and 750 g. You can buy a cartridge.

First impressions of Aravia cream with urea

After the first use I noticed results. The skin was moisturized to the maximum. An hour later I already noticed its healthy appearance, smoothness and elasticity. It felt very nice to touch the skin.

By the way, as the manufacturer states, Aravia with urea is especially recommended for water imbalance, excessive peeling and harmful environmental influences. My skin started to peel just during the heating season. Accordingly, the water balance was disturbed, and hence dryness and flaking.

The cream literally saved my skin from dehydration. Therefore, all the properties declared on the packaging by the manufacturer are far from empty words.

This is what a swatch looks like on your hand: The cream is absorbed very quickly:

How to choose the right pasta

When choosing pasta, you need to be careful. There are often cases when a buyer, through negligence, purchased something completely different from what he wanted. On each jar it is written in what case this paste is used.

The criteria include:

• the work technique used;
• paste application technique;
• temperature of the room in which the procedure is performed;
• the type of skin of the client, the hands of the master. The warmer it is, the denser the paste is needed;
• area where sugaring is carried out. This information is indicated on the bank;
• hair stiffness. The softer the paste, the softer it is.

Sugaring techniques

Most often, 3 main sugaring techniques are used. This is what masters teach as soon as he begins to comprehend the basics.

Some techniques can be mastered even without special training or by attending a seminar or webinar.

Manual sugaring technique

Done by hand. For hygiene purposes and to prevent the paste from melting so quickly, gloves are worn. In this case, the length of the hair should be sufficient for the paste to grip it.

First, take a little paste from the jar and roll it in your hands, as if shaking off flour from your fingers. The next step is to determine in which direction the hair grows and roll out a layer of paste several centimeters long against the growth.

Next, with a sharp movement from the elbow, the paste is torn off the skin. For pain relief and patient comfort, stretch the skin area with several fingers.

Bandage sugaring technique

This technique requires a lot of paste. Moreover, not only paste is used, but also a strip of fabric or a napkin. The Arabia company sells special strips for such equipment.

The length of the hair should be at least 4-5 mm, because otherwise the paste will not grip the hair tightly.

First, the paste is applied according to the same principle as in the manual technique. But then the prepared strip is tightly applied to the caramel and pressed with a smoothing motion. After it has sufficiently stuck to the paste, the fabric is pulled upward with a sharp movement.

To avoid the formation of bruises and bruises, experts recommend pressing the skin with your fingers.

Spatula sugaring technique

A spatula is used to apply and remove the paste. This way, the fingers do not touch the skin and paste, so the master’s hands get less tired and the mixture melts less.

The paste is applied to a spatula in a thin layer, after which it is applied to the skin area. After a few seconds, a tug occurs and the hair remains in the caramel. You can also apply the paste with a spatula, and then apply fabric, as in bandage technology.

Italian glaze

This technique is already used by professionals in their field. It requires the ability to quickly apply the paste and make jerks. The technique was invented to speed up work and reduce the amount of material used.

First of all, a thin layer of paste is applied to the treated area. It is better to use a soft paste, as it is more manageable. Next, remove all the paste with a dense lump of caramel in the same way as with the manual technique.

Balancing tonic for narrowing pores for oily and problem skin Pore-Balance Toner ↑

Advice from cosmetologists on performing sugaring

Sugaring Arabia (reviews about this company show that the company really knows what it produces) involves skin care before the session, as well as after it. Compliance with the technique makes it much easier to remove unwanted hair for both the master and the client.

It is imperative to begin the procedure by degreasing the skin and cleansing it of dirt. Typically, the client should wash before visiting the salon, but if this does not happen, the treated area of ​​skin should be treated with a damp alcohol wipe. For the face, bikini and armpits, additionally use a gel with plant extracts (chamomile, aloe vera, mint, birch).

If you notice ingrown hairs that adhere tightly to the skin, you need to treat them with a scrub or special gel, as a result the hair will rise.

Sweat produced by the sebaceous glands throughout the body is absorbed into the paste, causing it to be consumed more intensively. To avoid this, you need to degrease the skin with talc, which will absorb moisture. Masters use talc with menthol, which will soothe the skin and relieve irritation.

The remaining paste after the procedure will stick to the client’s clothes, so the skin should be cleaned of sugar. It dissolves in water like a carbohydrate, so experienced professionals use mineralized water with additives for purification.

After the procedure, it is necessary to restore the skin, moisturize it and remove redness. Vitamin E, nourishing oils and pain-relieving mousses can help with this. The client is usually advised to treat the skin a few days after the procedure with a scrub or a hard washcloth.

Anti-Acne Gel Cleanser ↑

The gel packaging is a strict and laconic bottle made of white matte plastic with a cap and dispenser. Product volume 250 ml. The bottle dispenser has a comfortable spout with a special recess for your finger.

Another trend of the season is alginate masks. The products will instantly tighten the skin and put it in order, eliminating swelling, fine wrinkles and a tired appearance.

Reviews from doctors and cosmetologists are positive and negative

Sugaring Arabia, reviews of the use of the paste are presented below, has earned both positive and negative comments from clients, cosmetologists, and doctors. The pastes always correspond to the description - there are absolutely no complaints on this point. But you have to use several pastes at once, so you need to buy pastes in bulk.

Sugaring masters claim that they do not see much difference between using a home line and visiting a salon (except that the first option takes more time). The home line is easier to use, but it is simply not profitable for the master to use it, since he is used to a more convenient, faster paste.

Buyers complain that the pastes have the same names. For example, there is “Natural”, which is very dense, and “Natural”, which is soft. But if such an error is not entirely critical for a professional line, then two identical pastes called “Universal” are misleading. One of them is included in the series for specialists, and the second is included in the home series.

The professional line pleases with variety, since you can always mix several pastes to obtain the ideal composition if the client has a special case with skin or hair.

Sugaring using products from Arabia is convenient and effective. Reviews from doctors, cosmetologists and hair removal specialists leave no doubt about the quality of the products.

Arabia cosmetics for face. For or against?

sasha_sergeevna October 19, 2022, 12:14

I understand you very much. I, too, am very picky when choosing cosmetics. The most offensive thing is when you spend money on a product, and it not only does not help, but makes it worse.

I decided this for myself. Arabia is for the body. I’m not against Arabia, I haven’t found anything better than their paraffin for hands yet, but creams for hands and feet have declined greatly over the past couple of years, in my opinion. What I tried for the face (tonic, enzyme powder, refreshing water, a couple of uvl creams) did not cause delight, rather the desire to “finish off” and move on to serious interesting options. I even gave up the powder because my face firmly said NO.

Christina. It was (mostly) staffed by a cosmetologist who “fixed” my face from acne. Therefore, I trust her, but not all remedies were successful for me personally. Fresh Pure Natural Cleanser. This has been my personal basic part of care for many years. The Porcelan mask for oily skin has been my true friend. It relieved inflammation, erased (gradually, we’re not at Hogwarts) acne, and refreshed it. (seems to be discontinued) Carrot Oil Moisture Cream With Vitamins A, E & HA For Dry Skin. Don't be alarmed that it's for dry skin. It doesn’t clog pores, but for me this was important. Good for summer, but in winter I want it thicker. Great smell! Sea Herbal Beauty Mask Azulen. A little weak, perhaps because it is stated for sensitive skin. But you can find something more interesting. Azulene Cleansing Gel Delicate & Reddish Cleanser with azulene did not work. I had to give it to my mom. The magic didn't happen. CHRISTINA Forever Young Eye Smooth Mask is something ridiculous for me personally. The huge jar didn’t finish, I didn’t see any effect. Christina’s tonics seem ok (just because I don’t understand tonics, I don’t know what to expect from them)

There are many great anti-acne products both in the pharmacy and in professional care. Are you sure that you need all of the same brand? If a cosmetologist creates a care program for you from Christina, it may make sense to look for alternatives in other brands.

In addition, (this is my personal conclusion, I do not pretend to be true) I did not need a lot of products to treat acne. Micellar wash (any), gel for washing (Christina), tonic (any), base cream (lipobase), medicinal cream (from the pharmacy, medicine, I can’t specify the name), mask with acids (Ducray Keracnyl). No serums or super expensive creams. We tried a lot of everything, but the bottom line is that less is more)

If you finished reading, I hope it was useful. At one time I spent a lot of effort, nerves and money on treatment. Now I can’t get past the same problems. I wish you beauty and health)
