What product buffers the skin from the wax during a hair removal service and prevents the skin from lifting?

• A. Lotion
• B. Powder
• C. Sealant
• D. Gel

Answer: (B)

Powder creates a dry, oil-free surface on the skin. By absorbing moisture and skin oils, it reduces how strongly the wax sticks to the skin, so the wax pulls more on the hair rather than the skin. This helps prevent lifting of the skin during removal. Lotion adds moisture and oils, which can make the wax grip the skin more; a gel adds moisture and can leave a sticky film; a sealant would form a barrier that could interfere with the wax grabbing hairs. So powder is the best choice.
