Which action should NOT be performed during a waxing service?

• A. Apply fragrant oils to waxed areas
• B. Use fragrance-free lotions after service
• C. Test wax temperature on a small area first
• D. Maintain clean tools and gloves

Answer: (A)

Fragrance-free skin care and clean equipment are essential because waxing leaves skin sensitive and more prone to irritation. Fragrant oils on waxed areas can provoke redness, itching, or an allergic reaction, and they may leave a residue that interferes with healing or causes pore irritation. That’s why this action should not be performed. In contrast, using fragrance-free lotions after service helps soothe the skin without introducing irritants, testing the wax temperature on a small area helps prevent burns, and maintaining clean tools and gloves supports Hygiene and safety throughout the service.
