What is a Paraffin Therapy?
A paraffin therapy involves the use of paraffin wax, which is a naturally derived wax. This wax is melted in a paraffin bath that warms it up to a comfortable lukewarm temperature. 3-4 layers of this melted paraffin is applied on your hands and feet, forming a nice thick layer on your skin. This layer of wax is covered with cling film and again a layer of paraffin is applied on it and covered with a foil wrap until the wax cools off and hardens. The hardened wax is pulled off from your skin, revealing moisturized and rejuvenated skin.

Paraffin wax being a natural emollient proves to be a boon for dry, flaky and cracked skin on hands and feet, especially during winter. It is an excellent:
- Exfoliator: The liquid paraffin wax traps all the dead skin cells on your skin as it hardens, making it a great exfoliator.
- Moisturizer: A good quality paraffin wax is formulated using natural oils that deeply moisturizes dry skin on hands and feet.
- Healer: The warm nature of the therapy relieves stiffness from muscles and joints and helps improve blood circulation too.
