How long should you leave a paraffin wax application on a client's skin during a facial treatment?

Five minutes
Twelve minutes
Eight minutes
Fifteen minutes

The correct answer is: Fifteen minutes

The appropriate duration for leaving a paraffin wax application on a client's skin during a facial treatment is typically around fifteen minutes. This time frame allows the wax to deeply penetrate the skin, providing effective hydration and warmth. Paraffin wax treatments are commonly used to help soften the skin, improve circulation, and provide soothing benefits to dry or rough areas. Leaving the wax on for this extended period allows the skin to fully absorb the benefits of the paraffin, which can enhance the overall results of the facial treatment. Fewer minutes may not offer enough time for the wax to reach its optimal temperature and provide the desired moisturizing effect. Therefore, adhering to this duration ensures that clients receive maximum benefit from the treatment.
