Winter can be scary, especially when looking at the dry and cracked hands & feet. It’s an experience no one wants to face. But there is a solution — ‘Paraffin Wax.’ You might have seen it on the menus that your favorite salon offers. But have you ever wondered what it is or its tremendous benefits?
“Paraffin Wax treatment offers numerous health and cosmetic benefits,” explains experts from King Nails & Spa.
How does Paraffin Wax Work?
King Nails expert says, “True to its name, this treatment uses ‘Paraffin Wax,’ (otherwise known as crude oil) which is a colorless and odorless solid wax, derived by heating Petroleum to a high temperature, then cooling it.”
It is a natural emollient with a low melting point and sits as a protective layer on the skin to help lock in moisture. “Due to its excellent moisturizing capability, it has been widely used in the cosmetic industry in the form of moisturizers, creams, and lip balms.”
Coming to the treatment, your hands and feet will be dipped in the heated (warm) wax, infused with essential oils, and left to dry before being dipped again. This dipping and drying process is repeated several times. After building up several layers with wax, your hands and feet are wrapped up in plastic bags and hot towels. Now, this will trap the heat against the skin, and the wax gets harder, which opens up the skin pores. Then the hardened wax (after cooling down) is removed so that it peels away the dead skin cells. At the end of the session, you will feel the smooth and silky feet and hands.
Merits of Paraffin Wax
- The essential oils used in the treatment deeply hydrates and rejuvenates the skin cells, soothing the dryness of the hands and feet.
- And, the paraffin forms “a soft barrier to lock up and retain the natural oil produced by the body.” This gives extra nourishment to the affected area. As a result, this eliminates the wrinkles and textured skin.
- “The heat produced during the treatment, due to hot towels and warm wax, improves the blood circulation and gives the skin a fresh look.”
- It is also beneficial for nails. It strengthens the nails and prevents nails from chipping off.
- For those who have sensitive and dry skin, this treatment will be effectively helpful. People living in extremely cold areas can go for this.

Beyond Just Cosmetic Benefits…
Apart from the cosmetic benefits, this treatment is said to have many therapeutic benefits. Paraffin wax treatment has proven to be a boon for people coping with conditions such as osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, arthritic pain, sore joints & muscles, joint stiffness, poor blood circulation, inflammation and sprains.
Acting as heat therapy, this relieves sore muscles/joints, joint stiffness, and muscle spasms. As it improves blood circulation, it has a higher chance of curing inflammation problems and eliminating toxins from the body.
This is supported by the fact that the paraffin wax treatment was first used by doctors for arthritis pain in the 1950s. Only in the 1980s, it showed up in the beauty industry.
