What is the primary reason for checking the temperature of wax used on the face and body?

The primary reason for checking the temperature of wax used on the face and body is to prevent burn. Wax that is too hot can cause serious skin damage, including burns, which can be painful and lead to lasting skin issues. Ensuring the wax is at a safe temperature before application protects the client’s skin and promotes a safe and comfortable waxing experience.

Maintaining the wax at an appropriate temperature helps estheticians provide a professional service while minimizing the risk of injury during the hair removal process. It's essential to conduct a patch test on a small area of skin to confirm the wax is safe for use. This step is crucial for client safety and is a standard practice in esthetic services.
