Paraffin wax is a common ingredient in manicure treatments, known for its ability to add moisture to the skin and create a barrier to retain natural oils. It is derived from petroleum and is found in everyday products like Vaseline, baby oil, and ointments. Paraffin manicures are beneficial for healing dry and cracked hands, as the wax opens up pores, releases dirt and toxins, and removes dead skin cells. The treatment also has thermotherapy benefits, such as increased blood flow, relaxed muscles, and reduced stiffness in joints, making it recommended for people with arthritis, fibromyalgia, and other joint mobility issues
