Hand Paraffin Tried and Tested

I tried the hand paraffin treatment by Praise Beauty and Slimming Professionals.

What was done

First, the consultant massaged a light cream into my right hand and arm.

Then I was to dip my hand into a bowl of green liquid 3 times. That liquid was the paraffin. The liquid felt very hot. I gingerly dipped my hand in. It did not scald me but left a white was coating. I dipped it in again very quickly 2 more times. Each time, my hand emerged with a thicker waxy white coating.

Then the consultant covered my hand with a plastic bag. She then put a thick, fluffy cotton mitt over the bag. I waited 5 minutes for the wax to harden. It smelt like mint and was warm and relaxing.

When the time was up, off came the mitt and the plastic bag. She removed the soft wax with bag. The wax was a yellowish. She used a tissue to wipe off the residue.

Verdict

We compared both my hands. The treated hand was softer and smoother than the untreated one. Then she treated my left hand.

My hands felt relaxed and smelt fresh and minty. Both hands felt so soft and smooth.

Only problem is, the effect was temporary. The next day, my hands were back to their original state.

You'd get good results if you simply wash your hands and apply a good hand or body lotion before you sleep each night. Put on a pair of cotton gloves to enhance the effects.
