Rules for applying a paraffin mask
First, in terms of its composition, paraffin is a mineral fat, the melting point of which is 52–54 degrees. It is to this temperature that you need to heat it up so that it becomes soft and viscous. Warm up the paraffin in a water bath, making sure that no water gets into the paraffin mass. Stir the paraffin wax from time to time to heat evenly.
Secondly, before applying the paraffin mask at home, clean your skin with vegetable oil using a cotton swab if you have dry skin or alcohol if you have oily (combination) skin. After that, dry the skin by wiping it with a dry cloth. Wear a kerchief or scarf over your head to prevent the paraffin from getting on your hair. Immediately before applying the mask, lubricate the skin with petroleum jelly.
Apply paraffin wax only once, as repeated application may result in adverse effects on the skin
To make a paraffin mask with beeswax, thoroughly mix 100 grams of cosmetic paraffin, 10 grams of beeswax and 10–20 grams of olive oil for oily skin or 50–70 grams of oil for dry skin. This mask is suitable not only for the skin of the face, but also for the skin of the hands and feet.
To prepare a paraffin mask with oils for any skin type, you will need:
- 50 grams of paraffin
- 20 grams of vegetable oil (almond or olive)
- 10 grams of cocoa butter
This mask has a cleansing and softening effect
The technology of applying a paraffin mask at home
Using a thick brush, apply a thin layer of paraffin wax to your face, leaving the eyes and mouth free. After 3-5 minutes, when this layer hardens, repeat the layering procedure 2-3 times. Apply paraffin along the massage lines. Cover your face with a towel to keep warm.
Remove the mask after about 15–20 minutes. The course of paraffin therapy at home is 10-15 procedures. Apply masks about 2-3 times a week. After using a paraffin mask, go outside no earlier than half an hour.
The paraffin mask is very effective for double chin or sagging cheeks. But in this case, the technology of its application is slightly different. After applying the first layer to problem areas of the skin, soak a gauze napkin in melted paraffin and apply it to the desired area of the skin. Tie the mask with a bandage, and apply another layer of paraffin on top. Carry out the procedures until you achieve the desired result.
