Sugaring is a popular and gentle method of hair removal, especially for sensitive areas like the arms. The natural sugar paste provides smooth results and is ideal for delicate skin, which is why it is regularly used at MONLIS Studio in Munich. However, some clients experience tightness, dryness, or itching after the treatment.
In this article, you'll learn why dry skin can occur after sugaring and how to prevent it with the right skincare – for silky-soft arms and long-lasting comfort.
Why Can Skin Become Dry After Sugaring?
Although sugaring is gentler than waxing or shaving, it still involves mechanical action on the skin. When the sugar paste is removed, it not only pulls out hair but also exfoliates dead skin cells – similar to a mild peeling.
This can temporarily weaken the skin's protective barrier. Possible effects include:
Tightness or discomfort
Redness or irritation
Moisture loss
Itching or flaking
These symptoms are more common during colder months or in dry indoor air, which is why proper aftercare is essential following a sugaring session.
The Right Skincare After Arm Sugaring
At MONLIS Studio in Munich, we place great importance on personalized consultation and gentle aftercare. Our experts recommend the following steps:
1. Soothing care immediately after treatment
After sugaring, we apply calming products with aloe vera, panthenol, or chamomile to reduce redness and help the skin recover.
2. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize
In the first few days post-treatment, apply a hydrating lotion or light oil daily. Look for ingredients like urea, hyaluronic acid, or glycerin to lock in moisture.
3. Avoid harsh products
For 24–48 hours after sugaring, avoid alcohol-based deodorants, exfoliants, or heavily perfumed creams – these can irritate freshly treated skin.
4. Wear loose clothing
Choose light, breathable clothing after the procedure to reduce friction and give your skin time to heal.
5. Use sun protection
Even on the arms, it’s important to apply a light SPF after sugaring, as your skin may be more sensitive to sunlight.
Long-Term Skincare for Smooth Arms
Caring for your skin shouldn’t stop after the treatment. For long-lasting results, the experts at MONLIS Studio recommend the following habits:
Apply lotion regularly, especially after showering
Gently exfoliate once or twice a week to prevent ingrown hairs
Use moisturizing masks or oil baths for very dry skin
Drink plenty of water to hydrate your skin from within
