What is it?
The treatments offer a thorough overhaul for your hands and feet in a luxurious setting. The manicure starts with a moisturising soak of the hands, followed by filing, removing of cuticles, an exfoliating cream and then a smothering of paraffin wax. The same goes for the pedicure.
What does the paraffin wax feel like, and what does it do?
For the feet, the wax is melted into a liquid form then applied. You're provided with plastic booties to wrap around your feet to trap the wax. It then gradually solidifies After being trapped around your feet for about 10 minutes, the paraffin wax simply peels off, leaving them feeling soft and moisturised.
Does it have the same effect on the hands?
Yes, but to trap the wax around the fingers, you have to put your hands palms down into a container of melted paraffin wax. They're then dipped in and out of the wax until a sufficient layer forms. After the wax dries, it can be peeled off.
