The Skin Games Sugaring Competition

The Skin Games is Skincare’s Most Prestigious Competition and Awards Show. The Skin Games is not just a competition; it is the experience that will take your social media and business to the next level.

The modality of Sugaring is a fairly newer method of removing hair for many, however it has been utilized for at least 20 years in the states. Sugaring is increasingly gaining popularity for being an all-natural, and eco friendly modality. Many like to tout that Sugaring is fad or a niche. On the contrary, sugaring is a very viable business among hundreds of Estheticians.

While waxing is commonly taught in Esthetics curriculum, Sugaring is continued education. The two modalities are different in terms of skill. Therefore, The Skin Games has chosen to judge them separately.

Sugaring requires the professional to use technique that in many cases can be several times more challenging than traditional waxing. It requires patience and environmental adaptiveness. A superior service depends on the Sugaring professional’s hand technique, pressure and efficiency, combined with the choice of paste consistency. REGISTER NOW!
