Threading is an old, centuries old in fact, treatment which is used to remove body hair. As it is a 100% natural treatment, it makes it ideal for sensitive skin, which is great news for anybody who finds hair removal creams and foams too harsh for their skin.

It works by removing individual rows of hair with a 'thread' which successfully pulls out the hair by the follicles. The technique is definitely a lot better for the skin than waxing, razors and tweezing around the eyebrow area. Razors and tweezers can cut the skin and cause irritation, whilst waxing can burn, peel and actually scar the skin. Threading is extremely gentle, precise and it has the power to even remove in growing hairs.

Overall this treatment is growing in popularity, especially in America.

Many people have heard of sugaring, but how many of us have actually tried it? Again, it is a natural treatment used to get rid of any unwanted body hair. The main ingredients within this treatment are lemon and sugar. Lemon is widely known for its cleansing ability and sugar is a natural exfoliator which will effectively remove any dead skin cells.

Whilst it may not be completely pain free, people who have tried it say that it is definitely more pain free than waxing. Any redness which the treatment leaves, also clear up very quickly and as there are no chemicals in this treatment whatsoever, it makes it ideal for use on sensitive skin.
