What can excessive dryness of the skin result in during waxing?

Increased hair growth
Painless waxing
Wax sticking to the skin
Faster hair removal

The correct answer is: Wax sticking to the skin

Excessive dryness of the skin can lead to wax sticking to the skin, which is a key reason why it is important for the skin to be adequately hydrated before a waxing procedure. When the skin is dry, the wax may adhere more firmly to the dry patches, making it difficult to remove it cleanly. This can cause discomfort during the waxing process, as the waxing strips or wax may not pull away smoothly, potentially resulting in skin irritation or injury. Proper skin preparation, including moisturizing, helps create a suitable interface for the wax, allowing for a more effective and gentler removal process.
