Method
Preparation
Melting and Mixing
Melt the Paraffin Wax
Heat the double boiler on medium heat until the water simmers. Add the paraffin wax to the top pot and stir occasionally until fully melted.
Combine Ingredients
Once the wax is melted, add the mineral oil and essential oils (if using). Stir well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
Dipping
Prepare for Dipping
Ensure your hands are clean and dry. Use a towel or gloves to protect your skin from the hot wax.
Dip Your Hands
Carefully dip your hands into the melted paraffin mixture, holding them in for about 2-3 seconds. Remove them and allow the wax to cool slightly before dipping again. Repeat this process 3-5 times for a thicker coating.
Cooling and Finishing
Cool the Wax
Once you have reached the desired thickness, allow the wax to cool and harden on your hands for about 10-15 minutes.
Remove the Wax
Peel off the hardened paraffin from your hands gently. Dispose of the wax properly.
Moisturize
After removing the wax, apply a hand moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.
