The wax will melt as soon as it is heated, and a wax film will float on the surface of the water. Just pour out the hot water in time to prevent the wax from re-applying to the peel.

2. Use salt or loofah pulp to scrub.

The wax is soft in texture and the salt particles are small, so the scrubbing effect is more thorough than that of loofah pulp.
