Posted on: March 31, 2014
People who suffer from dry, cracked hands will be glad to know that a paraffin treatment will suit them perfectly. A paraffin manicure is perfect for anyone who wants soft hands that are silky smooth and free from rough patches. The treatment is simple, easy, and can be performed right at your local spa facility by a technician. The steps involved in the paraffin treatment are not difficult but with some practice and time, you will surely master giving one.
Step 1
The first thing you will want to do is heat up the wax. Your manicurist at your spa facility probably already has a vat of warm wax already melted and ready to go. However, if not, they will begin by melting the wax until it is completely liquefied.
Paraffin wax is a special type of wax that does not have to melt at high temperatures so you do not have to worry about sticking your hand into a very hot bath of wax. The wax will be warm and actually feel good on your hands.
Step 2
Some manicurists will place a layer of lotion on your hands before they dip them into the wax bath. This lotion will be applied and then rubbed into your hands.
Step 3
Once ready, your manicurist will take your hands and dip them into the wax. She will then pull your hands out and allow the wax to cool for a few seconds and then repeat the process again. She will dip your hands multiple times to create a thick coat of wax on your hands.
Step 4
After the wax is on your hands and dry, your manicurist will then wrap your hands with plastic wrap. The wrap will then be left on your hands for up to 30 minutes.
Step 5
After the time has passed, the plastic wrap will be removed and then your nail technician will begin removing the wax from your hands. This process does not hurt and once it is done, you will have silky soft hands.
Step 6
After the wax is removed, lotion will be massaged into your hands before done. This will help your hands feel refreshed and moisturized.
A paraffin treatment is great for anyone who wants soft hands. This form of manicure is popular and many people enjoy the relaxing benefits of it. The process is never painful and you will be glad you had one performed once you see the results.
