Paraffin Wax Treatments...Get them!

Paraffin Wax Treatments are a luxourious spa treatments meant to add moisture to and soften the skin.  Paraffin is usually used in Manicure and Pedicure treatments.  It is recommended to have Paraffin treatments throughtout the winter months because that is when our skin is the driest.  When receiving a Paraffin treatment be aware that it is hot.  Paraffin is generally applied after the massage portion of the manicure/pedicure and before the polish.  Paraffin is an awesome product!  I love having clients who have never had a pedicure get the Paraffin, its just a nice bonus.  


How to use Paraffin:
You will be asked to dip your foot or hand into the Paraffin three to four times, letting the wax dry inbetween dips.  After dipping, your Nail Technician will wrap your foot or hand in plastic and cover with a towel, booties or gloves.  I like leaving the Paraffin on for about 10-15 minutes.  That just allows the moisture to penetrate deeper into the skin.  Once the 10-15 minutes are up the Nail Technician will pull the wax off.   Now, feel how soft your feet or hands are and how moisturized you feel!


In my Pedicures I always have the Paraffin as part of the service....it's just so nice to have your skin feel so soft.  So, next time you schedule an appointment for a Pedicure ask to add on a Paraffin treatment....I promise it is SO worth it!!!
