I think that oil based products will greatly help in getting rid of waxy skin/hair and also patm as a whole. I applied oil on my hair before i went to sleep and when i woke up i washed my hair with water and within 2 days there was no more waxy material on my hair but i tried the same thing on my skin and it didnt work. The oil that i used was specifically made for "repairing damaged and dry hair" so i think that pure oil will work on your skin. Lmk if it works for you.
