A paraffin manicure is a beauty treatment for the hands that combines nail polishing and buffing with skin softening and moisturizing. The entire hand is dipped in paraffin wax, either before or after the nails are polished, in order to seal in softness and moisture. The wax is usually left on the skin for some time, usually between five minutes and half an hour. When it is removed, the skin will typically feel silky soft, and the hands are refreshed and revitalized.
A paraffin pedicure is a spa treatment during which paraffin wax is applied to the feet in order to moisturize the skin on the feet.
The paraffin is usually applied after the feet have been washed and buffed and after the toenails have been cleaned, cut, and filed into uniform shapes. If the pedicure includes the application of nail polish, this is done after the paraffin has been applied, left to cool, and then removed.
