Candle therapy!

Regular manicures and pedicures are passé! Every few months a new treatment comes out for the tips and toes that is more creative and pampering than the next. The latest is the candle manicure and pedicure that utilises melted massage candles that are 100 per cent natural.

Available at the NailSpa Experience, Linking Road it contains a blend of jojoba oil, cocoa butter, vitamin E and other essential oils which detoxify and rejuvenate the hands and feet. First, a candle is lit and allowed to melt, this is then poured onto the skin for a warm soothing skin treatment.

Amyn Manji, director NailSpa Experience says the massage candles are an excellent way to nourish, exfoliate and encourage skin cell regeneration. “The sea salt scrub is a nourishing exfoliant full of minerals from the sea that is good for rubbing and soaking your skin. It is a gentle exfoliant perfect for encouraging cell renewal and adding that youthful glow. This pedicure and manicure will make you feel extremely relaxed and rejuvenated. Already we have got a great response.” One can choose from various flavours such as warm Choco-Vanilla, Sandalwood Delight and relaxing Gardenia. The treatment s are priced at `1400 for Candle Manicure and 1500 for Candle Pedicure.
