Paraffin Wax Treatment

February 16, 2010

Paraffin wax treatments are some kind of luxurious spa treatments that are aimed at moisturizing and softening the skin. These types of treatment are applied to the feet and hands as components of pedicure and manicure. Paraffin wax is different from the common spa wax that is normally used for the removal of air in the face and body.

Paraffin wax that is used as pedicure and manicure is much more viscous than the common one used in spa as it bonds to the skin. Because paraffin wax is made from paraffin oil components, it is a softer wax and thus melts at a lower temperature than the ordinary wax. When one is undergoing paraffin wax treatment, he is supposed to dip the feet or hands into the melted wax so that the skin is coated in generous layers. Once you dip your hands and feet, they are then wrapped in plastic or any other non-absorbent material and allow it some time to soak in the wax layer up to half an hour or so depending on e strength of the solution.
