1. 1

    Sugaring is a way of removing body hair. You warm a thick sticky paste made of sugar, lemon juice and water, spread it on the skin, and pull it off, taking the hairs with it. It is close to waxing, and it hurts in the same way, but people who choose it say the paste is gentler on the skin, washes off with plain water, and pulls fewer bits of skin because it sticks to hair more than to skin. It is old — versions of it go back a long way in the Middle East, which is why you sometimes hear 'Persian sugaring' or 'sugar waxing'. How to use the word: it is a noun, uncountable. 'She does sugaring', 'I booked a sugaring appointment', 'sugaring is cheaper than laser'. The salon may call it 'a sugar wax'. As a verb: 'she got her legs sugared'. Be careful with this spelling, though — the same form covers other things. In Canada and the north-eastern US, sugaring is boiling maple sap into syrup, and in recent slang, 'sugaring' means the sugar-daddy dating world. The beauty meaning is the one here, and in a beauty context nobody will you.
