What should you not wax over?

The correct choice pertains to areas of the skin where waxing should be avoided due to potential complications or risks. Waxing over skin tags is not advisable because these small, benign growths can be sensitive and could lead to irritation or bleeding if wax is applied. Proper precautions are essential to avoid unnecessary trauma to these areas.

In addition, waxing over acne can exacerbate inflammation and lead to more irritation or even scarring. Likewise, waxing over sunburned skin can also cause significant discomfort and further damage to the already sensitive skin surface. Not only can this worsen the sunburn, but it can also lead to an increased risk of infection.

The safest approach is to avoid waxing over any of these conditions entirely, which emphasizes the critical importance of assessing the skin's health before proceeding with any waxing procedure. It’s essential to prioritize the client's safety and comfort, ensuring that waxing is performed only on healthy skin. Therefore, recognizing that both skin tags and sunburn are areas to avoid is vital for safe waxing practices.
