Sugaring vs Shaving: Razor? We Don’t Know Her

Razor burn? Cuts? Stubble by tomorrow? We’ve all been there. For decades, shaving has been the go-to hair removal method for teens. It’s quick, it’s cheap… and it’s also a fast track to irritated skin, constant upkeep, and an ever-growing pile of plastic razors in the bin.

Sugaring flips that script. Think longer-lasting smoothness, zero harsh chemicals, and a planet-friendly approach your skin (and the Earth) will thank you for. If you’re stepping into the school year wanting smooth skin and a confidence boost that lasts longer than your lunch break, here’s why it might be time to break up with your razor.


Why It Matters

Shaving may seem like the easiest option, but it comes with hidden costs—time, money, irritation, and a mountain of single-use plastic waste. For our teen and mum community, it’s about more than just hair removal. It’s about feeling confident without the daily hassle, and choosing a method that’s gentle on skin and the planet.

Sugaring ticks all those boxes:

  • Lasts weeks instead of days.

  • Made with just three natural ingredients.

  • Fully biodegradable paste with reusable tools.

  • Kinder to sensitive skin—no nicks, no razor burn.

When you choose It’s Sugar!, you’re choosing smoother skin, more free time, and an eco-upgrade to your routine.


The Stubble Struggle is Real

Shaving cuts hair off at the surface, so you feel prickly regrowth within a day or two. You’re stuck in a constant cycle: shave, regrow, repeat. For teens juggling school, sports, and social life, who has time for that?

Sugaring removes hair from the root, so results last up to 3–4 weeks. Hair grows back softer, finer, and less noticeable over time—meaning fewer “Did I shave today?” panic moments before PE or pool days.

Shaving is basically exfoliating your skin with a blade—over and over again. Cue razor burn, ingrown hairs, and irritation (especially on sensitive teen skin).

 

Sugaring? Totally different vibe. Our paste grips hair, not skin, so there’s no aggressive scraping or pulling. Made with just sugar, lemon, water, and a hint of plant glycerin, it’s gentle enough for eczema-prone or breakout-prone skin. No angry red bumps—just calm, happy skin.


Sweet on the Planet

Disposable razors aren’t just rough on your legs—they’re rough on the planet. Billions end up in landfill every year, taking centuries to break down.

Sugaring paste is fully biodegradable, and our applicators and strips are reusable. You get smooth skin without adding to beauty waste. It’s the glow-up your routine and the environment needs.

Cost That Makes Sense

Sure, shaving might seem cheaper at first… until you add up the cost of replacement blades, shaving creams, and the emergency buys when your razor mysteriously “disappears” into someone else’s shower.

With sugaring, one jar lasts multiple sessions—face, legs, underarms, you name it. No secret razor tax, just one sweet solution that works everywhere.


Confidence That Lasts

Back-to-school season is all about fresh starts—new routines, new vibes, and feeling your best. Smooth skin that lasts weeks instead of days means one less thing to stress about. Whether you’re rocking shorts, skirts, or just feeling yourself in PE kit, sugaring gives you that main-character energy without the morning rush.
