What is a common contraindication for waxing?

A common contraindication for waxing is skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis. These conditions involve inflammation and sensitivity, which can lead to adverse reactions when subjected to waxing. Waxing can irritate the already compromised skin barrier, potentially aggravating the underlying condition, causing pain, or leading to further complications such as infections. Therefore, it's crucial to avoid waxing on areas affected by these skin conditions to protect the client's skin health.

Dry hair, excessive moisture, and healthy skin do not pose the same level of risk as skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis, which directly affect the skin's integrity and healing ability. Healthy skin is generally suitable for waxing, while excessive moisture may be managed with pre-wax preparation techniques. However, these factors do not themselves indicate a need to avoid waxing in the same way that existing skin health issues do.
