Sugaring, sugar waxing or Persian waxing is a method of hair removal that has been in use since 1900 BC.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Historyundressed.com )〕 Historically, sugar was confined to the regions surrounding Persia until the first millennium AD. As a result, it is speculated that honey was the first sugaring agent. Sugaring was also known as ''sukkar'' or ''ḥalawa'' in the Middle East, as ''ağda'' in Turkey, and as ''moum'' in Iran. Sugaring is often compared to standard waxing. During the process, a sugaring substrate sticks to and essentially removes hair without attaching to the skin. The substrate can be applied at room temperature or heated to a lukewarm temperature, minimizing the risk of burns.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=thegloss.com )〕 For this reason, sugaring is generally preferred over waxing when it comes to removing hair from larger areas of skin.〔 Nevertheless, if you have sensitive skin, sugaring can result in skin irritation and reaction.〔 However, this can sometimes be prevented by taking an anti-histamine. Sugar itself is otherwise hypoallergenic. There are some distinct differences between home and professional-use sugar paste. The majority of store-bought products contain wax, while homemade pastes often utilize sugar and other natural ingredients. ==Sugaring paste== Sugaring paste can be prepared with common household food items such as water, sugar, lemon juice,〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=StudioSmooth.com )〕 cornstarch,〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Spaindex.com )〕 honey and molasses. Since natural sugar is used in the solution, it also has the benefit of being anti-bacterial. Lemon juice is added for its acidity, which breaks up the sucrose into fructose and glucose. As in candy making, this gives the finished sugaring wax a non-crystalline, or amorphous, structure. Getting the correct consistency takes practice for most users. Pre-made sugar paste is also sold. This includes professional and retail versions, which may contain guar gum among other ingredients.〔〔 Since sugaring paste is water-based and water-soluble, the substance can be easily cleaned up with warm water.〔〔 ''Studio Smooth'' website states that sugaring is preferable to waxing, because the former has no resins, except for guar.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sugaring (epilation)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
