Some sugaring questions

[hazelb]

First the easy one:
I've got a few tubs of sugar paste for hand sugaring that I find way too hard to use.
Can I make the sugar paste softer by heating and adding water?
Can i change hand paste sugar to strip sugar by adding water so it's runnier?

Now my next question:

I'm ok using strip sugar on legs etc, but struggle with hand paste on legs, bikini and underarm. Does anyone know of any CPD courses I could attend? I'm qualified but I need help honing my skills!

Can't you call the supplier and ask? Or get them to change it.
Far as I know they make 3 kinds or strength of sugar paste for different areas of the body. Perhaps you have the wrong one?
I don't think you can add water it will ruin the product

Thanks for the replies. I did try experimenting with working temps and that seemed to help a bit. Maybe I'll just use the hard paste on hot days! :biggrin:

If you are using pure sugar paste you can add water to it to make it softer. We sell a product that can be added to sugar paste to make it softer too. Sorry for the late reply I don't check this often enough

You should contact Alexandria Professional and ask about training. They know sugaring inside out. They might be able to help.

You can add water (very tiny amounts until its how you want it) We do also sell a sugar soften which you might find easier.

You can add water to our paste. I'm not sure about other brands
