Paraffin Treatment
Paraffin wax is a treatment that leaves hands relaxed and smooth. During the process, your hands are covered entirely in the wax and placed in mitts. Since paraffin is a great thermal conductor, this allows the skin to trap the heat and moisture, and relaxes the muscles. When you remove your hands from the mitts, you will find them fresh and silky smooth.
Paraffin treatment also restores the skin’s natural coloring and increases local blood circulation, soothing any stiffness in the hands. This is effective for those suffering from arthritis, rheumatism, strains, sports-related injuries, dry skin and chapped cuticles. The treatment can also be used on other parts of the body, such as the wrist, elbow, ankle or foot. Some salons offer full-body paraffin wraps, which help relax the entire body and relieve it of any aches and pains.
You can find paraffin wax in an assortment of aromatherapy scents, including lavender, citrus and wintergreen.
