Paraffin Wax Treatments

Paraffin Wax Treatments are not only wonderful additions to manicures and pedicures but have many benefits for both the skin and overall health.

 

 

As the paraffin wax is left to harden, it traps heat against the skin and opens the pores. This allows for the release of dirt and toxins. Who knew? The treatment allows the hydrating oil elements of the paraffin wax to penetrate deeply through the outer layers of skin, delivering valuable moisture to dry skin and cuticles. When it has cooled, it is pulled away, stripping dead skin cells away along with it. The skin is left moisturised, looking brighter, and feeling more soft and supple.

 

 

There’s more to this product as it has numerous health benefits. Paraffin wax has been used to treat conditions like arthritis and fibromyalgia, among others. It increases blood flow, relaxes muscles and reduces stiffness in joints. It can also help to minimise muscle spasms and inflammation and to treat sprains and pulled muscles. This is so useful to know especially if your children are active and sports-mad.

And there are pros for Grans and grandpas, too. It is particularly effective for those suffering from osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Regular paraffin hand or foot treatments can help relax joints and relieve pain in hands before physical therapy and exercise. They can also help with lowering fluid retention and flushing toxins, which can reduce swelling.  

 

But, please note: Paraffin Wax Treatments should be avoided if your client has poor blood circulation numbness in the hands or feet, is diabetic or has any rashes or open sores.
