What type of wax is often recommended for sensitive skin?

Hard wax is often recommended for sensitive skin due to its unique formulation and application method. Unlike soft wax, which is spread on the skin and requires strips for removal, hard wax is applied in a thicker layer and hardens upon cooling. This allows it to adhere more firmly to the hair rather than the skin, reducing the risk of irritation while effectively capturing the hair for removal.

Additionally, hard wax tends to be less painful than other types of wax because it pulls the hair out without pulling on the skin as much. This is particularly beneficial for areas with sensitive skin, such as the bikini line or the underarms, as it minimizes potential discomfort and inflammation. The gentle properties of hard wax make it a safer option for clients with skin sensitivities or conditions like rosacea or eczema.

The other types of wax may not offer the same degree of comfort or effectiveness for sensitive areas, making hard wax the preferred choice in these situations.
