How is paraffin typically applied to the face during a treatment?

Using a brush
By pouring directly
Using gauze dipped in paraffin
Using a spatula

The correct answer is: Using gauze dipped in paraffin

Paraffin is typically applied to the face during a treatment using gauze that is dipped in the warm paraffin. This method ensures even and controlled application, allowing for maximum coverage of the skin while also providing a soothing and moisturizing effect. The gauze acts as a barrier and helps to retain the warmth of the paraffin, which can enhance circulation and hydration during the treatment. Using gauze also minimizes mess and allows for easier handling compared to other application methods. The warmth of the paraffin can aid in the opening of pores, making it beneficial for various skin treatments, such as hydration and relaxation therapies. This technique is especially popular in esthetic practices for facial treatments and adds a luxurious component to the overall experience for clients.
