Don't Get Waxed, Get Sugared!

There's a trend toward manscaping these days, with a lot of men looking into how they can remove the hair from their back and chest, most often through waxing. But waxing isn't the only option.

There's sugaring.

"it's reportedly been around since ancient Egyptian times, when women removed hair to look virginal. The paste is made from sugar, water and lemon and is rolled into a ball, which the technician (a.k.a. sugarer) rolls over the area where the hair is to be removed and flips it up sharply to remove the hair.

So why sugar instead of wax? I'll tell you why. For starters, it's much less painful than waxing."
