Candle massage
Candle massage is a relaxing and sensory experience that combines the benefits of aromatherapy and massage techniques. Here are some key things to know about this type of massage:
1. *Special candles*: Unlike regular candles, those used for massage are made from natural waxes such as soy wax or beeswax, mixed with essential oils. They melt at a lower temperature, which allows them to be used on the skin without the risk of burning.
2. *Heat and hydration*: The melted wax transforms into a warm oil that can be poured over the body. This allows for a hydrating and soothing massage, ideal for relaxing muscles and nourishing the skin.
3. *Aromatherapy*: The essential oils added to the candle provide additional benefits depending on their composition (relaxation, revitalization, etc.). The ambient scent also helps to create a zen atmosphere.
4. *Massage Technique*: Massage techniques can vary, but they generally include gentle, flowing movements, allowing you to release tension while enjoying the warmth of the oil.
5. *Ambiance*: For an optimal candle massage, it is advisable to create a calm environment with subdued lighting, soft music and possibly some relaxing decorative elements.
