What Does Paraffin Wax Do In A Pedicure?
Paraffin wax is used in a pedicure to soften and moisturize the skin. The heat from the wax helps to open up the pores and allow for deeper penetration of the moisturizing agents. It also helps to soothe tired feet and relieve muscle tension. The wax is applied to the feet, wrapped in plastic and left to sit for several minutes before being peeled off. This helps to remove dead skin cells and leave the feet feeling soft and smooth.
