hot massage candles - Inspired Living SA

Nothing beats a gorgeous fragrant candle, for setting the mood and ambience in any space. I love nothing more than a long soak in a hot bubble bath surrounded by candles!

I recently received two gorgeous Wellness Essence Soy Massage Candles, from Wellness Warehouse to try out. They are his and her’s candles, which I think is a lovely idea.

The candle for her contains 100% natural soybean wax, neroli oil, lemon grass oil and rose geranium and smells heavenly!

The candle for him contains 100% natural soybean wax, cedarwood and bergamot fruit oils, which is definitely more masculine.

Apart from looking good and smelling amazing ~ candles have became very versatile products, they can add style to any setting and bring about relaxation, by simply having them in a room. Candles are also used in various forms of relaxation therapies, one of my favourite being hot wax massage.

If you have never had a hot wax massage then do yourself a favour and try it – it is a truly sublime experience! If you cannot get to a beauty spa, to do the treatment, then why not do it yourself! The Wellness Essence Soy Massage Candles are perfect for the job.

With the growing concern on the health impacts of using paraffin or petroleum-based candles, soy candles were picked as the next best thing. The all-natural components of soy candles are the ideal way to complement massage therapies because of their heat and aromatic qualities.

If you would like to find out more about these Soy Massage Candles, then pop over to the Wellness Warehouse Website. You can do your shopping online ~ perfect for the festive season! You can also browse the Wellness Warehouse Christmas Gift Guide for great gift ideas.

The recommended retail price of the Wellness Essence Soy Massage Candles R199.99.

What are massage candles? I was not familiar with them, until recently when I heard about Spa-Valous Massage Candles and last week when I went for my first hot candle massage. Gone are the days when a candle simply functions as a way to light a room, candles are now most commonly purchased to scent homes or to add a romantic or relaxing ambience. Massage candles are a new variety of candle serving several simultaneous functions.

While they light a room, provide a delightful ambience, and scent the immediate area with subtle fragrance, massage candles also contain cosmetic ingredients that make them an excellent body moisturiser, offering anti-aging benefits and a massage oil alternative. Because of their unique ingredients, a true massage candle will melt at just over body temperature. Much like a hot bath, they are comfortably warm, but not too hot.

The luxurious Spa-Valous Massage Candle is a candle with a twist. It’s a Candle, Massage Oil, Body Lotion, Body Balm……. all in one!

Spa-Valous™ Candles are eco-friendly and non-carcinogenic as they do not contain any petroleum by-products. They are made from the finest 100% biodegradable, toxin-free, natural soy wax derived from easily renewable soybeans. It is a Proudly South African product, made, hand poured and packaged in South Africa. There are seven different fragrances available in the Spa-Valous candles, as well as baby massage candles and a fragrance-free pregnancy massage candle.

I must admit that I was most intrigued when I first heard about massage candles, if not somewhat sceptical but to my delight, it truly is a marvellous invention! Not only does the candle smell amazing but the feeling of the hot essential oil, from the candle, on your skin is sublime. Unlike other massage oils, the candle oil does not dry or feel sticky on your skin, it simply feels moisturising and soothing.

These candles are beautifully packaged and are perfect for a well deserved treat for yourself or a wonderful way to spoil that someone special!

Spa-Valous™ Candles retail for R180.00 each and are available at selected outlets countrywide or you can contact Tip Top Nails for more details.
