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?

    This ONLY works with soy candles that are designed for that. Other candle wax can burn you, but these soy candles are safe for skin application. In fact, some soy candles even encourage you, on the label, to apply it to your hands.

    The heat stimulates blood to come to the surface and wake up the skin. Causing new skin to form quicker. But there is a risk of burning. Very huge risk. But him doing it on his palm, does nothing.
