European Wax Center is Recognized for Its Dry Brush Product
European Wax Center has earned a 2026 NewBeauty Award for its EWC TREAT® Dual-Sided Dry Brush — a handheld exfoliation tool designed to prepare the skin before waxing while also enhancing the overall effectiveness of other skincare products.
The EWC TREAT® Dual-Sided Dry Brush boasts a gentler side intended for sensitive or delicate areas, and a denser, more abrasive side for tougher zones like knees or elbows. These textures are attached to an extended handle that allows users to reach their own backs and other difficult spots without assistance.
European Wax Center positions its EWC TREAT® Dual-Sided Dry Brush as a preparatory step for waxing services, since removing dead skin cells helps the wax adhere more cleanly to hair and reduces the likelihood of ingrown hairs afterward.
