candle manicure pedicureWinters can be rough on your skin especially on the hands and feet which are often ignored and suffer much damage due to their constant use in everyday tasks. The need for a manicure and pedicure becomes higher as the skin is drier due to the lack of moisture. Keeping this in mind, Nail Spa Experience in Mumbai, has introduced candle therapy to soothe rough skin. In this manicure and pedicure treatment, specially-made candles are melted and used as scrub and cream to intensely moisturise the skin and get rid of dead skin cells. We tried out this special treatment to see if it lives up to its hype. Also Read - Potato Juice Benefits: Use the goodness of the miraculous vegetable for your skin

After changing two trains and travelling for an hour, I finally reached the spa located in Khar and was looking for some pampering to beat my tiredness. Compared to Mumbai standards, the place was quite spacious with wooden flooring and ample seating. Two walls adorned nail paints of every shade possible and the spa was lit with warm lighting giving it a cosy feel. Also Read - These 7 things are a big NO if you have dry skin

The mani-pedi started off with the usual steps of cutting, filing, shaping the nails, applying cuticle cream, getting rid of calluses. I was excited to see how different this treatment would turn out to be given it involved candles. Four candles were lit and left to melt. Once melted, the therapist scooped out the wax and put it on my arms and legs (scrub first) to remove dead skin by exfoliating it. This was followed by a hot towel wrap to soothe the skin further.

Next, more candle melt in the form of a cocoa massage cream was applied for deep moisturisation. Given the weather, my skin was quite dry and this step really helped to lock in some moisture within. Next, a skin brightening pack was applied and my feet and hands were wrapped in foil. After a few minutes, it was wiped off and my nails and toes were painted from their vast range of nail colours.

The treatment took over an hour and by the end of it, I was left with not just great looking hands and feet, but also with relaxed and rejuvenated skin, ready to take on the winters.

As an experiment, I did not apply any moisturiser on my arms and legs the following day and my skin still felt soft and supple from previous day’s candle therapy. If dry skin is bothering you, this treatment is certainly for you; more so, in the cold winters. Though the novelty of this mani-pedi is the use of special candles, some spas do offer a similar treatment using paraffin wax which has a comparable effect.

Why wax?

Candle wax helps form a protective layer over the skin which then locks in the moisture making your skin feel less dry. Dry, cracked heels, and hands can be intensely moisturised using candle wax mixed with other agents like essential oils, cocoa, etc. 

The manicure is for Rs 1,400 and the pedicure for Rs 1,500. The treatment is available at Nail Spa Experience. For more details, visitwww.nailspaexperience.com
