Paraffin Facial: What is it?

Paraffin wax facials can be traced back to 1960s. It is a type of facial which is however slowly gaining popularity among women who are looking for a fitting facial treatment for their dry and lusterless skin.

Paraffin Facial Benefits:

It is associated with comprehensive and all-round benefits. Some of them are as follows:

  • Brightening of complexion:  Paraffin wax imparts warmth to the blood vessels and thus, the blood circulation is increased. This helps to brighten your complexion.
  • Cleansing of pores:  Paraffin wax heat helps to open up your skin pores. Dirt accumulated in the pores becomes loose and naturally, all the dirt, whiteheads and blackheads are efficiently removed!
  • Hydration of skin:  During your paraffin facial session, intense moisturizing treatment is meted out to your skin in the form of cream massage.
  • Reduction of wrinkles:  Paraffin wax helps to soothe your trite facial muscles. That is why, it acts as a calmer and at the same time, helps to reduce wrinkles.

Paraffin Facial Procedure:

Paraffin facial includes a step-by-step procedure which includes steaming, exfoliation, extraction, cream massage, application of lotions and a paraffin wax mask treatment. You certainly deserve to know how a paraffin facial is done. Here are the steps roughly:

  • Cleansing- Your face and neck is cleaned thoroughly to do away with dirt and impurities.
  • Relaxing massages- A series of calming massages follow cleansing. Your beautician would choose a cream to suit your skin and your beauty needs. A thorough massage imparts suppleness to your skin and makes your skin ready for the paraffin-wax session.
  • Cleaning- The excess cream is removed from your skin post-massage. A moisturizing lotion is applied again and you are made to recline and relax.
  • Paraffin treatment- Now, your beautician would place a gauze on your face and this gauze is similar to the shape of your face. It helps to protect your skin from the discomfort of coming in contact with hot wax. Once the mask fits you perfectly, layers of hot wax would be piled up on the gauge, about four times. The heat of this wax opens up your skin pores, rejuvenates your skin, relaxes the facial muscles and you definitely feel better! The mask is removed after about 15 to 20 minutes.
