What type of wax is generally recommended for sensitive skin?

Hot wax is generally recommended for sensitive skin because it adheres to the hair rather than the skin, which minimizes irritation during the hair removal process. This results in a gentler experience for clients who may have heightened sensitivities or are prone to redness and discomfort. Hot wax is typically applied warm and is designed to encapsulate the hair as it cools, allowing for the hair to be removed effectively without pulling on the skin.

Strip wax, in contrast, tends to adhere to both the hair and the skin, potentially increasing the discomfort for sensitive areas. While charcoal wax and organic wax have their specific benefits, they are not specifically tailored for sensitive skin like hot wax is. Charcoal wax may provide deep cleansing properties, and organic wax is marketed for its natural ingredients, but neither is formulated explicitly for reducing irritation in delicate areas. Therefore, hot wax remains the preferred choice for those with sensitive skin.
