What is paraffin wax used for?

Strengthening nails
Removing nail polish
Moisturizing the skin
Cleansing the nail plate

The correct answer is: Moisturizing the skin

Paraffin wax is often used in spa treatments to moisturize and soften the skin. It is applied to the skin in its melted form, then allowed to cool and harden before being removed. This process helps to improve skin elasticity and can also help with joint pain. While paraffin wax may have some benefits for nail health, such as reducing dry cuticles, it is primarily used for skincare and not nail strengthening or cleaning. Option B, removing nail polish, is incorrect as it is typically done using nail polish remover. Option D, cleansing the nail plate, is incorrect as it is usually done with soap and water or other specialized nail products. Therefore, option C is the most accurate and specific answer for what paraffin wax is used for.
