A paraffin mask is used for _________.

• A. Exfoliating
• B. Tightening pores
• C. Hydrating dry skin
• D. Treating acne

Answer: (C)

Paraffin masks work by creating an occlusive, warm layer over the skin to trap moisture and soften the surface. The heat helps hydration penetrate and the barrier helps seal in water, making this treatment especially beneficial for dry or dehydrated skin. It doesn’t provide exfoliation—exfoliation comes from scrubs or enzymes—nor does it offer lasting pore tightening or acne treatment, which require different ingredients and approaches. So the primary benefit is hydrating dry skin.
