Paraffin – a panacea for busy feet and weary hands
For some, the concept of paraffin is known only in reference to atmospheric candles intended to give a special atmosphere to the evening. With this article we would like to draw attention to its other equally important properties, which, unfortunately, are particularly easy for us to overlook. In a few words, paraffin bath is a delightful panacea for hands and feet. It serves to reduce wrinkles, instantly restores smoothness and velvety softness to the skin, and gives the nails a shiny and healthy look.
Paraffin as a cure for all evil?
Paraffin wax for hands or feet can be treated in two ways – as an additional treatment to a previous manicure or pedicure, or as a separate treatment. The immediate effect of the therapy is always spectacular due to its not only cosmetic, but also therapeutic properties.
Warm paraffin, when applied to the skin, acts as a tight, lightly lubricating compress with strong nurturing properties. Such a compress prevents moisture loss, so the skin is effectively moisturized. In turn, the stimulated skin glands give it elasticity and reduce the occurrence of cracks on the feet or hands. Thus, the treatment contributes to making our touch as soft as velvet and our hands as smooth as a baby’s bottom.
Moreover, this thermal paraffin wrap raises the temperature of the tissues, thereby increasing the rate of blood circulation in the hands and feet. This serves to relax the muscles of these extremities and reduce joint stiffness. After all, it is not without reason that paraffin is said to be the self-proclaimed cure for such ailments as arthritis and strained muscles. Psstt… trusted sources report to us that paraffin works wonders when it comes to preparing hands or feet for strenuous activities.
A sinful pleasure for everyone
The treatment is particularly recommended for those who struggle with cracked and dry skin in need of immediate care. Paraffin itself is a natural product, making it a prima sort candidate for treating the aforementioned ailments in a non-invasive manner. Any seeker of a simple way to moisturize and rejuvenate skin on hands or feet can de facto benefit from a paraffin procedure.
Paraffin and I – a permanent relationship or a passing adventure?
Paraffin wax is one of the many treatments that are recommended to be repeated systematically in order to achieve measurable and long-lasting results. How often this should be done depends entirely on the initial condition of the client’s skin. When starting a treatment, it is worth consulting our specialist in this aspect. The norm, however, is to perform this treatment more often in the initial phase, for example, even twice a week. Later, when the condition of the skin will not give the SOS signal, then you can use paraffin bath on average every week or even every two weeks.
Never say never
Many times when using cosmetic services, we face a kind of dilemma. On the one hand, we are drawn to try a new service, which until now has been shrouded in an aura of mystery. On the other hand, we want to stay with the standard set of treatments, because literally “it works”. The decision as much as possible is up to you. Above, figuratively speaking, we have laid out our cards regarding paraffin treatments. Having familiarized yourself with what it has to offer, we encourage you to see for yourself the effectiveness of the treatment on your own skin.
Allow yourself to experience that “wow” effect – especially during the fall and winter seasons!
