Any tips on how to do an eyebrow wax on a client with REALLY oily skin? The oil stops most of the hairs from sticking to the wax, I don't want to keep going over so I wax maybe twice over each area then have to tweeze the rest which isn't overly comfortable for the client. I cleanse first then dry with a cotton pad to make sure all excess oil and cleanser is off then apply the wax but it's like her skin produces oil faster than I can wipe! Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
 
Cornstarch.
A very fine dusting, dabbing with your fingertip over the area to be waxed.
Cornstarch or baby powder will absorb excess moisture, while allowing the wax to adhere to the hair without the risk of skin coming off
