It can also help open pores and remove dead skin cells. That may help make the skin look fresher and feel smoother. It acts like a form of heat therapy and can help increase blood flow, relax muscles, and decrease joint stiffness.
Paraffin wax can also minimize muscle spasms and inflammation as well as treat sprains. However, if you have very sensitive skin, paraffin wax may cause heat rash. Heat rash results in small red bumps on the skin that can be itchy and uncomfortable. If you have a chemical sensitivity, you may develop minor swelling or breakouts from the wax treatment.
Some salons and spas may offer a paraffin wax bath as part of their manicures and pedicures, but most offer it as a separate treatment, too. It generally takes around 30 minutes. You can have a paraffin wax treatment done at a nail salon or spa, but you can also do it at home. You could also purchase a portable paraffin wax bath to use for at-home treatments. These devices help reduce the number of supplies you need, and many of them come with paraffin wax.
The easiest way to melt paraffin wax at home is to use a double boiler. If you have nail polish on, remove it before starting the process. Wash your hands well and dry them with a lint-free towel. Then place it in an oven mitt or wrap it in a towel for 15 to 20 minutes. After 15 to 20 minutes, remove your hand from the mitt or towel and the plastic bag. Use soft tissue to remove the wax residue from your skin.
Apply moisturizer all over your hand. A paraffin wax treatment has many aesthetic benefits and can also provide relief for people with conditions like arthritis and fibromyalgia.
You can pay for it to be done in a nail salon or spa or you can do it at home, if you have the right equipment. Other Accessories. Cosmetic Bases Foaming Bath Butter. Soap Safe Fragrances Feminine.

Even though the health effects of paraffin wax are as yet undetermined, its environmental impact are less ambiguous. Crude oil, being the origin of paraffin wax, is considered highly unsustainable due to it being a non-renewable resource. It has also been the cause of a slew of environmental calamities, in oil spills, damage of natural habitats and climate change. On top of that, a study by Maastricht University also discovered levels of potentially carcinogenic polycyclic hydrocarbons in churches, presumably due to the burning of low-quality paraffin wax candles over long periods of time.
Alarmingly, the level of pollutants detected exceeded that of high-traffic roads. Soy wax candles are clean-burning and come from a renewable resource. Many brands are increasingly using more sustainable options in replacement of paraffin wax. Even though its impact on human health is debatable, its relationship with non-renewable fossil fuels still deters the environmentally-conscious.
Soy wax and beeswax are highly viable alternatives and are arguably more sustainable. At Banyan Tree, our range of naturally-scented candles are made of soy wax, which is derived from soy beans. After oil is extracted from the beans, it is hydrogenated, turning it into the solid form we see in wax candles. Because soy wax is vegetable-based and obtained from a renewable source, it is widely considered to have less impact on the environment, compared to the paraffin option.
