In a pub recently, and the pub used candles for ambience.
A friend poured hot liquid candle wax on the palm of his hand. The wax then became a solid and he peeled it off.
He claims it’s good for the skin. I tried it but thought the liquid wax was too hot. Can the heat not burn/damage you? Is hot wax good for your skin?
Paraffin wax has been used for a long time to make your hands soft. You aren’t supposed to put it on hot enough it burns because then you damage cells and that is against the purpose. But very warm, sure it is fine. I’m not sure it is ‘good’ for your skin, but it does make your hands feel very soft. My mom had a pair of paraffin gloves when I was a kid. I think they still make them for doing paraffin treatments. BTW, paraffin is used to treat leprosy so I guess if you have leprosy it could be considered ‘good for you’
