Sugaring does not remove live skin Unlike waxing, sugaring does not hurt the skin. Aio's waxing body sugar will only stick to the hair and not to the skin, preserving its integrity. This means that you don't have to put up with sore and red skin after waxing anymore.

Sweet but not Sticky Sugar wax is made from natural ingredients which can be cleaned easily with water. Sugar wax is not messy unlike other waxing products!

Not hot Sugar wax only needs to be heated for 10-15 sec in a microwave to lukewarm.

Less painful Unlike waxing, sugar wax is peeled off in the same direction hair grows making it less stressful to skin and body, much less painful!

Natural as (no artificial preservatives) Sugar wax does not contain harmful petroleum by-products which can cause allergic reactions, especially in those with sensitive skin.

Long lasting Effect lasts up to 8 weeks and if used regularly will result in hair reduction in the areas applied eliminating the need for harsh hair removal procedures.

Perfect for all body areas

Yummy yum yumminess

This smells soooooo good! It's like desert for your skin! It's sugar so smells like.. well. . Sugar! It comes in a glass jar with a smart black lid and an inner lid to stop stickiness getting onto the outer lid (very smart). Also included is 2 wooden spatulas, 1 popsicle stick size (actually it is a popsicle stick) and one bigger. I love that they've considered Smaller and larger applications with this. There's also fabric strips - quite a few too! And of course instructions! I found it a wee bit thick when I opened it so as per the instructions gave it a quick Wizz in the microwave to get it to "honey consistency" - gave it a good stir and did a test on my forearm. I love the consistency of this wax! It's smooth and glides onto the skin nicely! The strips are the right amount of grippy so are easy to use. I found this test patch great! It was virtually painless! After my test patch I had a go at my chin - I have really gross thick dark hairs that I battle on my chin and I'm sick of plucking so I'd let them grow a wee bit to have a Crack at this amazing sounding wax.... aaaand. .. pooh! No good! I think the hair needs to be quite long for this Sugar Wax to be most effective. I finished up my forearms after this and got the same result. It removed all the ones that were long but left behind anything less that possibly 7mm.... I found a little goes a long way with this, so it's fantastic that it'll last a while. I really love how painless this is, so much so that I'm going to let my leg hair grow and have a go at those - which is huge for me after a very painful attempt a few years ago, I swore I would never wax my legs again..... Clean up was a breeze! Even cold water removes excess! And ( possibly my favourite thing about this product) the strip also wash up perfectly! They look like they should be disposable but they're not! Woohoo!

UPDATE: Had a go at my legs! It was still painful but not unbearable.. I still found it left quite a few hairs behind but I just went over them with a razor and have found regrowth is still longer than just shaving. So I will keep waxing!

Tips: Absolutely make sure the skin is clean & dry before using. I find a way bit of talc really helps to make waxing more effective. Hand wash the strips in warm water, I doubt they would survive a machine.

Yeah they are! I was really surprised as they look disposable but I washed one to see what what happened and it was perfect. I'm so stoked as I always find it's really hard to get just a new set of Strips for wax.

Had me ripping my hairs out

Packaging is a plain cardboard box with a little picture, plain but attractive. Inside this box is a thick heavy plastic jar, not clear but a brushed plastic with a black screw top lid, very nice not cheap to the touch and to look at by no means. In the box are two different sized wooden flat sticks and some nice white thick cloth strips and instructions. I undo the lid and find it's sealed so I peel the top back and there it is this sticky golden brown wax it smells faintly like caramelised sugar and golden syrup. I wax myself most of the time and I know what I'm doing, so after letting everything revert back to the 60s eeeek that's a winter thing. For the squeamish or shy stop reading now. I lightly heat this wax in the microwave for 5 seconds that's all as the room temperature was warm enough, I follow the instructions to the brief, with my ankle poised up on the back of the chair and a mirror positioned so I can see what I'm doing, this is a awkward position but effective. I drag the wax down my trimmed hair growth, it's very sticky to apply, not what I'm used to, I even find it a bit hard to smear at first, but I get it sorted and that's because my skin has to be damp not wet but ever so slightly damp, I then stick the cloth to the wax and give the cloth a wee rub to make sure it's pushed onto my hairs I tap the cloth a couple of times as I know the pain I'm going to get I grit my teeth (important to do this) and hold my breath and grab the corner of material and pull my skin tight with my other hand and rip the cloth up and off, Yussss off they come out by the roots, pain wise not to bad not bad at all, so I have another crack at it. I can also quickly stick the cloth back on with the wax side on my skin and get a couple of other stray hairs. Meaning to just do a tidy up I end up doing a little more than I had planned as it was one of the easiest waxings I've done. I chuck the cloth and the spatula in hot water and they cleaned up nicely the wax just dissolved away. So no hair holes with wee dots off blood or red goose bump skin and no broken off hairs just smooth skin, I just wipe my skin with lukewarm water no ice needed then slip into my clothes and perfect, no irritation my skin is silky smooth and you wouldn't know half an hour beforehand I was well let's say wild and wooly, the next day still smooth and soft not irritation just perfect. With this wax it seriously just sticks to the hairs and not the skin, no mess with using talcum powder to stop the wax from sticking to my skin either. This is the best wax I have ever used and not as painful as the waxing I get done professionally. I will make this my number one wax now.

Tips: When pulling the cloth off nearly have it like its folding back on to its self, not outwards, trim hair as well. Be brave ladies this is a goodin

Body Sugar or Honey?

As a home waxing novice I enjoyed having A play with this yummy looking and smelling body sugar. With a very similar consistency to honey (my son actually asked why I was put in honey on my face) I was a little bit nervous and rightly so. It was a bit too sticky for my liking, which made it quite hard to apply even though I heated it for twice as long as recommended because the suggested time did nothing to make it "slightly runny" as the instructions said. The was also not helped by the fact that the paddles provided are simply popsicle sticks, so when applying this sticky substance to my eyebrows I needed a special kinda talent. Next time I am going to find something thinner and maybe slightly pointed to apply it.

However, overall I am happy with the pain free result and the fact that this is a new Zealand made product is completely natural! I am sure with better tools and more practice this will become a favorite product.

I am just adding a comment here, because although I am still relatively happy with this product, the hairs grew back really quickly. The box said up to eight weeks - so I was expecting much longer than a week and a bit out of one application.

I did also try this on my little hideous patch of thick chin hairs and it didnt seem to take to the thick hairs at all... I am hoping this is because they were too short?

I'm pleased to see people are using it on their faces - I wondered about it for lip and chin. I have my own jar to play with this weekend so will see how I go. Thanks for your review bekiboo2

I highly recommend you use this...

If you intend on doing some home hair removal, I would highly recommend you save yourself a whole lot of pain and try out this product :) I personally love the packaging of this product, it comes in a thick frosted glass jar with a resealable lid, which makes it ideal for storage. The product itself comes quite solid, and in a deep caramel colour. It says to microwave for 5-10 seconds if needed but if you have a weak microwave like myself I suggest you microwave it for a tad longer because it is quite solid and hard to work with otherwise. The product, being all natural has no weird scents, only that of sweet sugar. Yummmy.... and is extremely easy to clean up! So if you make a mistake or get this body sugar all over the place it washes off with ease. I used this product on my forearms because I'm a bit of a Sasquatch, and absolutely loved the results. The pain was minimal and there was only a slight amount of redness afterwards. There was no irritation and there were no bumps. The end result: some seriously smooth skin. I definitely recommend this to anyone with sensitive skin, or people prone to skin irritation looking for a safe home hair removal product.

Tips: Apply this product very thinly as it is quite thick.
