Instructions
Prepare your work area: Set up your double boiler or microwave-safe bowl and ensure all utensils and containers are clean and dry.
Melt the wax: Place the paraffin wax and coconut oil (or olive oil) in the double boiler or microwave-safe bowl. Heat gently until the wax is completely melted. Be cautious not to overheat the wax, as it can become extremely hot.
Add essential oil (optional): Once the wax is melted, you can add a few drops of your chosen essential oil for fragrance and additional benefits. Stir well to combine.
Allow the mixture to cool: Let the wax mixture cool for a few minutes until it’s still warm but comfortable to touch. It should form a thick liquid consistency.
How to Use
Apply the wax to your feet: Dip your feet into the warm wax one at a time, ensuring that each foot is completely covered. You can also use a pedicure brush or applicator to apply the wax evenly to your feet.
Wrap your feet: After applying the wax, wrap each foot in plastic wrap to retain heat and moisture. This will also help the wax penetrate deeper into your skin
Let it sit: Leave the wax on your feet for about 10-15 minutes to allow it to penetrate and soften your skin
Remove the wax: After the allotted time, carefully peel off the wax from your feet. It should come off easily, leaving your skin feeling soft and moisturized.
Moisturize: Once you’ve removed the wax, massage a moisturizing lotion or cream into your feet to lock in moisture and keep your skin hydrated.
Repeat as desired: You can repeat this process once a week or as needed to keep your feet soft and smooth.
