Imagine transforming your living room into a serene spa with just a candle. Sounds dreamy, right? Massage candles don’t just fill the air with soothing aromas. They also melt into a warm, luxurious massage oil that can be used to soften and hydrate your skin. Here’s what you need to know about these multitasking marvels.
What Are Massage Candles?
Massage candles are specially formulated candles that are made from skin-safe ingredients like shea butter, soy wax, and essential oils. Unlike regular candles, they melt at a low temperature, creating a warm (not hot) massage oil that can be directly applied to the skin.
Benefits of Massage Candles
Many massage candles are scented with essential oils that can help relax or invigorate your senses. The oils in massage candles are also often rich in vitamins and antioxidants, which can moisturize and rejuvenate your skin.
How to Use Massage Candles
- Light the candle and let it burn for about 20-30 minutes, allowing it to form a pool of warm oil.
- Extinguish the flame and let the oil cool for a minute.
- Pour the slightly warm oil into your hand and apply it to the skin, using it as you would a regular massage oil.
