- Medical paraffin 2 kg (sold in every pharmacy).

Place the paraffin in a tall enamel bowl (the container must be absolutely dry) and melt over low heat. Before starting the procedure, be sure to cleanse your skin with a hand scrub and apply a nourishing cream. Now remove the paraffin from the heat, it should be a pleasant warm temperature, do not bring the mixture to a boil. We begin the procedure by dipping our hands. First, lower your fingers for a few seconds, check the temperature, then completely immerse your hands in the mixture for 10 seconds and remove, repeat this action 8 times.
As a result, a paraffin film should form on the skin. We put on cotton or terry gloves and leave the mask on for half an hour. After this time is over, the wax will be removed from your hands along with the glove, apply a nourishing cream and enjoy the result.
