Paraffin Wax Treatment for Hands
What Is Paraffin Wax Bath Therapy?
Paraffin wax bath therapy is an application of molten paraffin wax and mineral oil to the hands. Paraffin wax is a white or colorless soft, solid wax. Paraffin acts as a form of heat therapy. It is completely natural and has a low melting point, which means it can be easily applied to the skin at a temperature low enough to not cause burns or blisters.
