The fact that paraffin has healing properties has been known for a long time. In beauty salons, paraffin baths are successfully used . But not every one of us can afford the expensive services of a cosmetologist. Let's discuss in this article how paraffin therapy is possible at home.
A little about the healing properties of paraffin. This is a very heat-sensitive substance. While retaining heat for a long time, he shares his skin in small portions. That is, warm paraffin does not leave a burn on the skin, but only contributes to an increase in its temperature by only 2 degrees. Thus, the effect of the sauna is achieved, when due to the opening of the pores, the active action of sweat glands begins. And the sweat that is released carries with it all the harmful components and excess substances from the body. Paraffin gradually cools down and at the same time begins to squeeze already dehydrated skin, making a massage. And the skin, in turn, as if taking advantage of its position, absorbs moisture back, leaving harmful substances on the surface of the wax. This "screening" is due to the fact that water molecules are smaller in size than the components of toxins.
As you can see, nothing so complicated and special happens, so paraffin therapy at home is quite affordable and possible. And it is often used by women who monitor their appearance. If you are interested in this method of rejuvenation without expensive visits by cosmetologists, then prepare for it and see if we have everything we need for it.
So, home paraffin therapy will be successful if you have: a small enameled pan, 100 grams of purified paraffin, which is available in the pharmacy network, several plastic bags, two terry towels, a cosmetic brush, a gauze napkin, a skin scrub and face cream. As you can see, almost nothing to buy, except for the material for the mask itself.
Paraffin therapy at home begins with warming up the paraffin mass in a water bath. You can resort to a microwave. It will be even more convenient. Before applying the molten substance, you need to cleanse your face well with a peeling agent. Now, with smooth movements with a cosmetic brush, we smear paraffin on the face. Care must be taken to keep the area of the eyes and mouth clean. After that, we apply a gauze mask to the face and on top of it we apply another five layers of mass. When the mask cools, it is easily removed from the face along with gauze. That's all paraffin therapy at home. It remains only to apply a nourishing cream to the face and lie down a bit until the skin is completely cooled. Going outside is not recommended. A sharp change in temperature reduces the effectiveness of the procedure.
Home paraffin therapy is used not only for the face, but also for the hands. It is known that most of all our age is reflected in the hands. Therefore, paraffin therapy at home is useful for stressed limbs. The skin of the hands is also accurately prepared. Then, hands alternately immersed in dishes with a mass heated to a temperature of 50 degrees. It is necessary to withstand only 3 seconds, then slightly raise them above the pan to stack excess paraffin. Such manipulations are performed three times, while the fingers should be widely spaced: the substance should envelop the entire surface of the hands. Then, putting on them plastic bags, carefully wrap them in terry towels. The effect of the sauna is created. Now we are waiting for the hot mass to cool completely and remove it.
That's all paraffin therapy at home. For the face and hands, it is repeated 10 times every other day. Such courses should be repeated at short intervals. All small wrinkles will disappear from the face, deep ones will become less noticeable, and your hands will be rejuvenated beyond recognition.
