Paraffin wax was previously only used in salons, but is now being used in many homes. Paraffin wax, once it's melted, and you dip your hands into it, is going to reapply all that moisture that we're missing in everyday life by using our hands. Also, for many people who have arthritis, the heat from the paraffin wax helps circulate blood flow. Paraffin wax can be used for vanity, applying moisture, or heat to help blood circulation towards people who do have arthritis.
