Paraffin: a miracle cure? Here’s what’s behind it

As an excellent heat retainer, paraffin has entirely special qualities. This fine wax has then established itself in the medical sector for external application and the relief of joint discomfort. In the beauty and wellness sector, paraffin is also one of the best-kept secrets for nourished, deeply moisturised and structurally enhanced skin.

Soothing paraffin baths yet show their effects after just the first application. The treatment itself warms the hands and feet and is a pure delight, especially during the cold months. The retained heat formed during the formation of the paraffin layer has a similar effect to a sauna. The pores open up, and the active ingredients contained in the paraffin wax can penetrate the skin – which has been warmed by up to two degrees – to optimum effect.

Paraffin in Beauty and Wellness: The Essential Equipment

A successful paraffin treatment proceeds with the right materials and suitable equipment. Whether it’s paraffin and paraffin heaters or convenient disposable items and value-added items – this selection awaits you at HELLMUT RUCK:

• Paraffin wax is the basis of every paraffin treatment. It is available in various fragrances.
• A paraffin heater with an integrated thermostat and overheating protection makes treatments a safe and enjoyable experience with easy handling.
• Transparent organic protective covers made from renewable raw materials, and microfibre shoes or gloves, retain heat after the paraffin coating of hands and feet.
• The SKIN Cleanser optimally prepares the skin for paraffin treatment. It is also the perfect choice as a cleansing product prior to hair removal via waxing or sugaring.
• The SKIN Paraffin Lotion, containing organic shea butter, avocado oil and linseed extract, has been specially developed for paraffin therapy. It maintains the skin in a silky and velvety soft state.
• With the Equipment Cleanser, you can effectively and hygienically remove possible wax and paraffin residues from drills, furniture and floors.

Convenient paraffin starter kits contain all the products you need to perform paraffin treatments – from the heater to the cleanser.

The paraffin treatment process: step by step

Using paraffin as an intensive skincare treatment for hands and feet – but how? We explain how it works:

• First, cleanse your hands or feet with the Skin Cleanser. You may wish to use particularly strong forms of exfoliation to remove dry skin flakes.
• Then dip your hands or feet into the warm paraffin bath and repeat up to three times.
• Wrap the treated skin in protective covers and put on microfibre shoes or gloves.
• Leave the paraffin wax to work for around 20 minutes.
• Then wipe off the still-warm paraffin and gently massage your hands or feet.

Paraffin wax: How it works

Paraffin treatments for hands and feet are becoming increasingly popular. What can they do? A paraffin wax treatment

• enhances the skin’s appearance.
• opens the skin’s pores.
• delivers moisture directly into the tissue.
• tightens the skin and makes it noticeably silky.
• smooths cracked and rough skin.
• soothes irritation in stressed skin.
• maintains the cuticles.
• strengthens the connective tissue.
• makes scars more elastic.
