What is the main purpose of using a pre-epilation oil?

The main purpose of using a pre-epilation oil is to protect the skin before waxing. This protective oil creates a barrier on the skin that helps to prevent irritation and skin damage during the waxing process. It can also facilitate the removal of hair by allowing the wax to adhere better to the hair while being less likely to stick to the skin itself. This makes the waxing procedure more comfortable for the client and helps to ensure a smoother result with fewer adverse effects, such as redness or sensitivity.

In contrast, while enhancing fragrance, cooling the skin, or providing sun protection may have their own benefits, they do not align with the primary intention of pre-epilation oil. The focus on skin protection emphasizes the importance of maintaining skin health and safety during hair removal practices.
