soft wax
Warm, moldable substance
Soft wax is a type of wax used for hair removal, applied warm to the skin and removed with cloth or paper strips.
Unlike hard wax, which hardens and is pulled off directly, soft wax adheres to both hair and skin, making it effective for larger areas like legs and arms but potentially more irritating: The esthetician used soft wax on my back.
