How to use a body serum candle
A body serum candle looks like a normal candle, but the wax is made for your skin. As it burns, the top melts into a warm oil that you pour into your hand and massage in.
What you need
A body serum candle, a match and ten minutes.
How to use it
- Light the candle and let it burn until there is a pool of melted oil on top.
- Blow out the flame.
- Wait a moment for the oil to cool. It should feel warm, not hot. Test a drop on the back of your hand first.
- Pour a little into your palm and massage it into your skin. Arms, legs, shoulders, feet.
- Start with a little. You can always add more.
When to use it
After a warm shower, when your skin is still a little damp, or in the evening when you want to slow down.
Good to know
- Never leave a lit candle unattended. Keep it away from children and pets.
- The first time, let it burn long enough for the whole top to melt. This keeps it burning evenly.
- Any oil left in the jar sets again as it cools. Next time, it melts again.
