Candle manicure and pedicure is one of the latest trends that are making a splash in the wellness industry. The entire process of candle manicure includes exfoliation, application of mask, candle massage and polish. The massage candle, when lit, melts and creates a rich massage oil that is a balmy blend of jojoba oil, cocoa butter, vitamin E and essential oils. The basic steps involved in a candle manicure and pedicure are as follows:
- Light the candle and burn it for about 10 to 15 minutes till some of the warm oil oozes out.
- Pour the oil and massage your hands and feet for about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Rinse with water.
- The aroma is soothing. The cuticles are cleaned, followed by callus treatment and feet exfoliation. The oil from the burning candle is poured over the legs and the feet. The feet are then massaged with candle oil to make them silky smooth, soft, glowing and healthy.
Candle treatment is said to be good for the skin and is environment-friendly too. Also, it offers the following health benefits:
- Candle therapy unites the powers of the mind, body and spirit.
- Massage candles have healing properties.
- Massage candles contain anti-ageing properties.
- The aroma uplifts your senses and acts as a stress buster.
