Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hello, I'm Shannon O'Brien, body Sugaring Expert
and Licensed Esthetician, whohas taken my own skincare
business from zero to multiplesix figures and has helped over
3,000 students learn how to dothe same.
You know, it wasn't that longago that I lacked the time,
budget and knowledge needed togrow my small business as a Body
(00:23):
Sugaring professional.
If we were to push rewind, wewould see the many failed
attempts and lessons learnedthat have helped me build the
profitable business I have today, one that runs on its own and
gives me the lifestyle andfreedom I used to dream of.
I created the Sugar Show tohand you my secrets and give you
the simple, step-by-stepstrategies to help you do the
(00:46):
same.
If you're a cosmetologist,esthetician or wax professional
who's looking to fill your books, make more money in your
business and enjoy greaterbalance between your work and
home life, well then, you're inthe right place.
Let's dive in.
Welcome to the Sugar Show.
(01:06):
I'm your host, shannon theSugar Mama, and today we're
diving into the fascinatingworld of the skin, microbiome,
prebiotics, probiotics,postbiotics, and how sugaring,
combined with those things inskincare, can work wonders for
your client's skin.
So in the last episode, youwere introduced to our new
(01:28):
partner in sugaring Raddak, whois the founder of Raddak Lab in
the Netherlands, and if youhaven't already tuned in to the
last episode, I highly suggestit and even watch it on our
website to see the video version.
So spending time with thisinnovator has been an honor, and
learning from him and his teamhas been fantastic, to say the
(01:50):
least.
So let me be clear to those ofyou who are already sugaring the
message of this company is notthat of like superiority, but
rather education.
Raddak has been formulatingcosmetics, and, in particular,
sugar-paste and postcare, foryears, and he's created a new
proprietary line that isthoughtful and intentional.
(02:12):
So the goal is to begin tonourish and protect the skin
while we remove hair from ourclient's skin.
You may have heard himreference creating this line
without citric acid or lemon.
He does have these formulasthat he privately manufactures
for companies in Europe like andthey like lemon in the recipes,
and I always thought sugar wasjust that lemon sugar and water.
(02:36):
Heck, our old logo was a lemonslice.
But he has found, however, thatdifferent ingredients that
benefit the health of ourclient's skin are in these newer
formulas, and, much like abaker, maybe, who stumbles upon
a new way to bake a cake.
Raddak has refined his recipesto use different ingredients to
get an upgraded result.
So bakers can use ingredientslike applesauce, pumpkin or even
(03:00):
go flourless to bake, and it'sstill a cake, just a different
recipe.
Raddak's line of products againhave upgraded and really
created these recipes ofsugar-paste and products that
will perform even better in asugar-prose hand.
Now you all know that I loveanalogies.
(03:20):
I most famously used a carrotand an onion to explain how
hairs are extracur-extra.
And you all know that I loveanalogies.
I most famously used a carrotand an onion to explain how
hairs are extracted fromfollicles using different
modalities.
In summary, our hairs grow inour follicles like carrots
(03:41):
growing in a garden.
The orange part is under thesoil, the green leafy part is
above the surface, like the hairwe see on the skin.
So with wax, we apply hot resinin the direction of hair growth
.
The wax shrink wraps around thehair like the green leafy part
of the carrot, and we extractthe hairs by ripping, using
(04:01):
muslin or hard wax, against thedirection of hair growth.
Well, in this method we run therisk of snapping that hair just
off at the green leafy part or,even worse, snap the carrot in
half down inside the follicle,which can lead to ingrown hairs,
irritation and possiblyinflammation.
With sugar we glide the pasteagainst the direction of hair
(04:24):
growth pattern and not only coatthe hair and the green leafy
part of that carrot, but allowthe sugar to seep down and grab
a hold of the actual orange partof the carrot.
When sliding the hair out withthe direction of hair growth,
that hair is taken out in itsentirety and the follicle
becomes lazy, basically, and itdoesn't really want to grow back
(04:45):
as strong of a hair or a carrot.
As it relates to an onion, whichis my other analogy I like to
use, the hair starts out like anonion.
You know there's a bulb and astalk to the hair.
The bulb lies deep inside thefollicle and can cause redness
and irritation if it's notremoved properly.
So if we aren't extracting thewhole hair, we run the risk of
(05:08):
snapping off the stalk of theonion and not removing that
whole bulb.
When we sugar that onion out,it pulls the bulb out as well,
and the more we sugar, the morethat hair becomes more like a
scallion Still an onion, butwispy and thin, which feels much
better for the client toexperience.
(05:29):
So let's start with the basicsof exactly what the skin
microbiome is, because I onlythought there was a gut
microbiome for a long time andI've come to learn that there is
a skin microbiome.
So let's start with the basicsof exactly what the skin
microbiome is, because, ifyou're like me, I thought there
was just a gut microbiome forthe longest time, but really the
(05:51):
skin microbiome is so criticalto understand as an esthetician,
be it for acne or inflammation,but also for hair removal as
well.
So let's stick with the wholegarden theme and roll with that
so you can understand.
So, just like a vibrant garden,our skin microbiome is a
diverse community filled withmillions of little tiny
(06:13):
organisms bacteria, viruses,fungi and other microorganisms.
Well, those collectively form adelicate balance essential for
maintaining the health andharmony of our skin.
So now picture this Everysquare inch of our skin is like
a miniature world that hasmicroorganisms, and some of
(06:37):
these tiny little inhabitantsare beneficial, working to
protect our skin from harmfulpathogens, maintain its moisture
levels and even support in thenatural healing process.
Others may be opportunistic orharmful, potentially causing
issues like acne, eczema orinfections if they become too
(06:57):
abundant.
So much like the soil in thatgarden, the skin provides a rich
and nourishing environment forthese microorganisms to thrive.
They interact with each otherand our skin cells in complex
ways, forming what scientistscall a microbial community, and
this community is incrediblydynamic, consistently adapting
(07:19):
to changes in our environment,diet and skin care routines.
So, in essence, the skinmicrobiome is like a thriving
garden and it plays a criticalrole to the health and balance
of our skin.
And by understanding andnurturing this delicate
ecosystem we can unlock thesecrets to healthy, happy skin
(07:41):
for ourselves and our clients.
Now you might be wondering howdoes sugaring or hair removal
affect this little ecosystemknown as the skin microbiome?
Well, just like any otheraspect of skin care, hair
removal techniques can have asignificant impact on the
balance and health, as you canimagine, on our skin's
microbiome.
(08:01):
So if we go back to our gardennow, when we undergo hair
removal, whether it's throughwaxing, shaving or sugaring,
we're essentially kind ofmessing with this garden, and
the method we choose can eithernurture or disrupt that delicate
balance living on our skin.
So you know what my favorite is.
(08:23):
Let's talk about how thisapplies to hot wax, for example,
that can actually strip awaynot only the hair but some of
the skin's natural oils andbeneficial microorganisms.
And this disruption can leavethe skin vulnerable to
imbalances and potentialirritation, especially if the
skin microbiome isn't properlysupported during and after the
(08:46):
treatment.
On the other hand, we love ussome sugar and we all know that
it's a natural alternative towaxing and offers a gentler
approach for our skin and ourclients, but also for that
garden.
So let's talk about taking thisa step further and incorporating
prebiotic and postbiotic skincare into our sugar treatments.
(09:08):
So you all know we've partneredwith the premium prebiotic line
that Radek from Radek Labs hasworked so tirelessly to adjust
his recipe to include not onlythe prebiotics but postbiotics
as well.
So we're going to really workhard to make sure that we're not
disrupting that microbiome.
(09:30):
So by infusing prebiotics intothe skin, we are feeding and
nourishing that skin, especiallywith this new formula.
So he has developed a recipethat he has called in-uflex
technology.
So you know by now that we havepartnered with the premium
prebiotic line that Radek fromRadek Labs has adjusted so that
(09:52):
his recipe includes prebioticsand postbiotics as well.
So let's break that down byinfusing prebiotics into the
skin, we're feeding andnourishing the skin, and this
new formula he discovered is arecipe that he calls in-uflex
technology, which includes sugarand water, of course, but also
(10:13):
things like inulin and chicoryfor nourishment.
He's also removed the lemon orcitric acid from the recipe and
added glucona lactone, which isoriginating originates from corn
.
Actually it's a polyhydroxyacid, a PHA, which is actually
more gentle on the skin.
It gently exfoliates, itretains moisture and infuses
(10:36):
antioxidants.
So the prebiotics are in thewhole line, even in the sugar
paste, to help improve theflexibility, consistency and
actually overall performance ofthe paste.
It is also made at lowertemperatures, which preserves
the integrity of the ingredientsinside.
So once you've cleansed theskin and powdered and sugared
(10:58):
the area which is alreadyfeeling the effects of the
nourishment and gentleapplication which we know we
love of sugar, that post carealso has prebiotics in it, with
soothing ingredients like aloeand oat and purple willow
extract and postbiotics.
So immediately after you'resugaring with a spritz of, say,
(11:20):
the pre and post rose water,that will turbo charge the
healing and nourish that freshlysugared skin and support the
healthy microorganisms on theskin.
So think of postbiotics like afertilizer for the garden of
your skin.
And the hexagonal balm and thesoothing milk also contain
postbiotics to lock in thathydration and seal in all the
(11:43):
goodness.
So, when it comes to maintaininga healthy skin microbiome,
choosing the right hair removalmethod is key, as you know, and
by opting for sugaring overtraditional waxing, beauty
professionals can really helppreserve the delicate balance of
those microorganisms on theirclient's skin, and it promotes
healthier, happier skin in theprocess.
(12:05):
So let's go over that one moretime.
Prebiotics are actuallynourishing the skin.
We're infusing that skin withantioxidants and moisture
binders.
We're sliding the hair out withthe direction of hair growth
with sugar, so there's lessirritation.
And then we are infusing,immediately after the treatment,
(12:26):
prebiotics, which again isnourishing, and postbiotics,
which are gonna turbo charge andprotect that skin.
And really, if you are offeringyour client a sugaring session,
instead of just focusing ongetting the hair out, you also
are focusing on nourishing theskin's microbiome with
(12:47):
exfoliants, probiotic infusedhydraters.
Not only are you gonna leavetheir skin silky smooth, but
you're also promoting thathealthy balance which can lead
to fewer ingrown hairs, lessirritation and overall, happier
skin, which is the goal right.
So here's the kicker by makingthe switch from waxing to
(13:08):
sugaring and incorporating thesepre and postbiotics into your
treatments, you're not onlyoffering your clients more
gentle and effective hairremoval option, but you're
really helping them to increasethe health of their skin and, as
beauty pros, we need to makethe switch to sugaring and
embrace the power of this newtechnology Because, I promise
(13:30):
you, your clients will thank youand their skin will thank you
too, and the whole goal is tohave healthy, happy skin, which
will create healthy, happyclients, which will create a
healthy, happy business for you.
So for those of you that arereally, really noticing how the
skin is performing, you'renoticing that sugar is sliding
(13:52):
those carrots out of the gardenin the direction that they grow,
where, not causing irritationon the skin, and we're infusing
that garden with the postbiotics and prebiotics that are
going to fertilize and justreally keep that skin nice and
healthy.
You are taking your business tothe next level.
For those clients, you'reupgrading your services and I
(14:16):
highly recommend that you learnabout these technologies so that
you can explain that to yourclients.
So not only are they coming toyou for hair removal, they're
coming to you for your expertise.
They're coming to you tounderstand why their skin is
reacting the way it is, and Ihave been using these products
for gosh six, eight months nowand the change that I see in my
(14:39):
client's skin is profound.
If I'm honest, it is really adifferent thing to just sugar,
put some moisturizer on and sendthem out the door and maybe
send them home with someexfoliation, opposed to really
educating them about what'sgoing on with their skin and
using products that are takingit to the next level.
And not only that the next timethey come back in, they're
(15:00):
going to absolutely love theresults and the fact that it's
not growing back as fast andthey don't have the irritation
that they have before.
It is a game changer, to behonest, in our industry.
And if you are using skincare onyour clients' faces, take a
look at lines that haveprebiotic ingredients in them.
Post biotic ingredients.
(15:21):
And never did we think that youwould be able to put those
things inside of your sugarpaste.
Now I will say you're probablyasking wait, so sugar paste has
prebiotics in it.
I don't get it.
It's only on the skin for oh,so long.
How is that actually?
Is that really staying on theskin, shan, or are we flicking
everything off and it's comingoff anyway?
And I will tell you the answeris by using the recipe that
(15:46):
Rodic has put together.
What's happening is the momentyou place that on the skin
you've cleansed, you've powdered.
The moment you've placed thaton the skin, it is leaving trace
elements behind.
So as you're molding that sugaronto the skin, it's leaving
these prebiotics into the skin.
We're sliding the hair out withthe direction of hair growth
(16:08):
Everyone is happy down there inthat little garden and then
again we're just loading it backup with nutrients.
So I hope that you have learneda little something, that I've
made the science a little biteasier, because let me tell you,
I have learned more aboutmolecules and polyhydroxy acids
than I ever thought I wouldlearn, which is what is so
exciting for me about this kindof upgrade and this new wave of
(16:31):
sugaring, and really it's takingmy business to the next level
and my staff is really seeing abenefit and, of course, my
clients are too.
So I hope that you've learned alot about the science here today
.
I hope I haven't confused youtoo much and that you can use
that carrot analogy, use thatonion analogy, go back and
re-listen to this and understandhow you can then explain it to
(16:52):
your clients, because it willmake more sense to them as well,
and let them know that you'renourishing their beautiful
garden and making sure that theyhave the best skincare they
possibly can.
I adore all of you.
I hope that you have enjoyedspending this time with me again
on the episode of the SugarShow, and I look forward to
(17:13):
chatting with you all very soon,whether it's at a trade show or
you come into our live monthlycoaching.

exfoliants, probiotic infusedhydraters.
Not only are you gonna leavetheir skin silky smooth, but
you're also promoting thathealthy balance which can lead
to fewer ingrown hairs, lessirritation and overall, happier
skin, which is the goal right.
So here's the kicker by makingthe switch from waxing to
(13:08):
sugaring and incorporating thesepre and postbiotics into your
treatments, you're not onlyoffering your clients more
gentle and effective hairremoval option, but you're
really helping them to increasethe health of their skin and, as
beauty pros, we need to makethe switch to sugaring and
embrace the power of this newtechnology Because, I promise
(13:30):
you, your clients will thank youand their skin will thank you
too, and the whole goal is tohave healthy, happy skin, which
will create healthy, happyclients, which will create a
healthy, happy business for you.
So for those of you that arereally, really noticing how the
skin is performing, you'renoticing that sugar is sliding
(13:52):
those carrots out of the gardenin the direction that they grow,
where, not causing irritationon the skin, and we're infusing
that garden with the postbiotics and prebiotics that are
going to fertilize and justreally keep that skin nice and
healthy.
You are taking your business tothe next level.
For those clients, you'reupgrading your services and I
(14:16):
highly recommend that you learnabout these technologies so that
you can explain that to yourclients.
So not only are they coming toyou for hair removal, they're
coming to you for your expertise.
They're coming to you tounderstand why their skin is
reacting the way it is, and Ihave been using these products
for gosh six, eight months nowand the change that I see in my
(14:39):
client's skin is profound.
If I'm honest, it is really adifferent thing to just sugar,
put some moisturizer on and sendthem out the door and maybe
send them home with someexfoliation, opposed to really
educating them about what'sgoing on with their skin and
using products that are takingit to the next level.
And not only that the next timethey come back in, they're
(15:00):
going to absolutely love theresults and the fact that it's
not growing back as fast andthey don't have the irritation
that they have before.
It is a game changer, to behonest, in our industry.
And if you are using skincare onyour clients' faces, take a
look at lines that haveprebiotic ingredients in them.
Post biotic ingredients.
(15:21):
And never did we think that youwould be able to put those
things inside of your sugarpaste.
Now I will say you're probablyasking wait, so sugar paste has
prebiotics in it.
I don't get it.
It's only on the skin for oh,so long.
How is that actually?
Is that really staying on theskin, shan, or are we flicking
everything off and it's comingoff anyway?
And I will tell you the answeris by using the recipe that
(15:46):
Rodic has put together.
What's happening is the momentyou place that on the skin
you've cleansed, you've powdered.
The moment you've placed thaton the skin, it is leaving trace
elements behind.
So as you're molding that sugaronto the skin, it's leaving
these prebiotics into the skin.
We're sliding the hair out withthe direction of hair growth
(16:08):
Everyone is happy down there inthat little garden and then
again we're just loading it backup with nutrients.
So I hope that you have learneda little something, that I've
made the science a little biteasier, because let me tell you,
I have learned more aboutmolecules and polyhydroxy acids
than I ever thought I wouldlearn, which is what is so
exciting for me about this kindof upgrade and this new wave of
(16:31):
sugaring, and really it's takingmy business to the next level
and my staff is really seeing abenefit and, of course, my
clients are too.
So I hope that you've learned alot about the science here today
.
I hope I haven't confused youtoo much and that you can use
that carrot analogy, use thatonion analogy, go back and
re-listen to this and understandhow you can then explain it to
(16:52):
your clients, because it willmake more sense to them as well,
and let them know that you'renourishing their beautiful
garden and making sure that theyhave the best skincare they
possibly can.
I adore all of you.
I hope that you have enjoyedspending this time with me again
on the episode of the SugarShow, and I look forward to
(17:13):

you come into our live monthlycoaching.

best sugar pro and estheticianthat you can be.
