Procedure:

1. Liquefy the paraffin wax in an appropriate bowl. Make sure you don’t heat it up so much that it burns your delicate skin. Heat it up at intervals of 10-20 seconds.
2. Allow the wax to cool. Meanwhile give a stimulating massage to your hands with a rich hand cream. A pleasantly scented hand cream would lift your spirits during the process. Make sure the cream is absorbed properly.
3. When the wax has cooled a bit, dip your hand and keep it for 5-10 seconds. Repeat this till the wax completely covers all portions of your hand and forms very thick layers.

4. Cover your hands with a warm towel and relax for half an hour or so. Let the wax work its magic and reveal beautiful hands.
5. After this, you can remove the wax off. It can come off easily by applying a bit of pressure. 6. After you peel it, massage the hand cream again and wear a glove. This will seal in the goodness of the nourishing cream.
7. Repeat this same process for the other hand.

Customize your wax:

You can even add some essential oils to reap extra benefits of the treatment. Some commonly used oils are lavender, eucalyptus and rosemary. Depending on what other issues you want to address through this wax treatment, you can choose the oils. For example, lavender oil is used for relaxing and soothing muscles.

Tips to follow:

⦁ Try to make the wax coating as thick as possible, so dip your hand in the wax multiple times.
⦁ Avoid moving your fingers too much so as to avoid cracking of the wax.
⦁ The longer the wax stays warm, the better and effective is the treatment.
⦁ Avoid nail polishes immediately after the treatment as it will dry up the natural oils from the wax.
⦁ Massage a generous amount of cream and allow it to be absorbed.
