Most of us have the same problem this time of year: dry, dull winter skin. The colder it gets outside, the more we love to huddle in a warm living room and the more our skin dries out. And not only that, but hands get chapped in the harsh cold winter air outside. Creams and hand lotions help a little, but often not enough. This is where professional spas come in with their paraffin wax therapy treatments.
Paraffin is a pure crystalline wax that absorbs other ingredients well and is especially good at coating and sealing. It can be mixed with aromatherapy scents and other moisturizing substances. Conair, for instance, uses extracts of the desert plant aloe vera, long known for its ability to bring soothing relief to parched skin, in its professional paraffin spas available for home use. The wax exfoliates chapped surface skin, exposing soft skin underneath.
Aside from the cosmetic benefit, there is also a therapeutic benefit: heat treatments are recommended for a variety of ailments, such as arthritis, bursitis, and muscle aches and pains. The warm wax is a wonderfully soothing way to apply heat to hands, elbows, and feet. Try the Conair® salon style PB10 for hands, elbows and feet.
Here is how it works: A block of the wax is heated in a special tub. You can dip your hands, elbows, or even your feet into the warm wax mixture, then remove them and slip them into plastic liners and eventually cotton mitts. The liners and mitts hold in heat and help your skin get the full benefit of the soothing treatment. Once the wax cools, the mitts are removed, and liners and wax peel off easily. Skin is noticeably softer, silkier, smoother, ready for Spring!
