Some of you will have seen my February 'Valentines' offer . I am offering a different kind of massage this month which is a Candle Massage. This is a wonderful warming and relaxing treatment using Swedish techniques to stretch, work and relax the muscles. This unique treatment uses a special Soy Oil based candle that heats the oil to a warm temperature that can then be poured onto the skin and massaged in. It really is a great treatment for women and men as it hydrates the skin and gives warmth to relieve stress or aches and pains. This month, as it is Valentines month, I have chosen a candle that is blended with chocolate and vanilla giving a great aroma to the senses. As candle massages are not quite so common as treatments like Hot Stones etc, I thought I'd give you ten fascinating facts about Soy candles to help you see the benefits!
- Soy oil absorbs easily into the skin which makes it a great medium for massage.
- Soy oil is high in vitamin E which the skin requires
- Your skin is left feeling nourished, hydrated, soft and rejuvenated after the massage.
- Soy oil feels rich and decadent and can replace the expensive cosmetic creams and lotions that may not actually be as ‘natural’ as you think.
- Soy oil has been reported to potentially help relieve conditions such as dry and cracked skin, psoriasis, eczema, cracked heels and rough cuticles.
- Very little soot is produced from burning soy candles
- Soy candles are believed to have healing and soothing properties making your skin feel enriched and soft.
- Massage candles made of soy oil are specially designed to be used on the body.
- The ‘wax’ melts to a temperature not far from body temperature but feels warm and luxurious on the skin
- Soy oil candles have essential oils added for antioxidant, relaxing, rejuvenating properties. The candles are eco-friendly and clean burning
