Paraffin wax treatments are soothing to the skin. If you are suffering from dry winter hands that tend to crack or feel irritated from dry weather or frequent hand washing, a paraffin bath might be just what you need.
The reason that paraffin is so soothing to the skin is because the wax is mixed with mineral oil. The heated seal that the wax creates allows the oil to penetrate the skin for the softest effects.
