This process helps to relax and promotes spiritual fulfillment. Moreover, such candles can be used not only in salons. They can be a great addition to a romantic evening or relaxation.
Then the question arises, how to create such a candle yourself?
We want to draw your attention to very important points that must be followed to ensure that the product is safe.
Be sure to use natural waxes and solid natural oils. Lubricate the flowerpot thoroughly to avoid the problem of wax leakage.
So let's get started!
The first step in creating a massage candle is to make a plaster flowerpot. For more detailed instructions on creating plaster products, you can see our article “How to make a plaster flower pot?”.
We choose the shape of the flower pot Massage candle and mix all the necessary materials, namely plaster mixture, water and modifier. If desired, you can add dyes or use various decorating techniques.
For example, marble coloring of plaster, gold coating or creating a perfect white product.
After we have removed the finished product from the mold, we wait for it to dry completely and begin the coating process.
It is worth taking a very careful approach to this process and applying about 5-6 layers of varnish on all sides. This will help avoid the problem of wax leakage.
After making the flower pot, we proceed to choosing materials for the candle itself.
In this case, you need to choose natural waxes, such as soy, olive or coconut. Their 100% natural composition is ideal for contact with the skin, as it contains oils consisting of polyunsaturated fatty acids and vitamins, and has a low burning temperature.
In addition to wax, we choose natural solid oils. You can use Shea, coconut, almond oil, etc.
Be sure to check the composition, as synthetic substances have a bad effect on the skin and can cause allergic reactions.
We choose olive wax, melt it at a temperature of 75-85 degrees, start adding oils approximately 10% -15% (100 grams of candle - 60 grams of wax - 40 grams of oil), and wait until the wax cools to a temperature of 65-75 degrees to pour into the mold.
We put a metal holder with a thread and a wax wick in the pot. We fix it at the bottom.
When the wax reaches the desired temperature, pour it in and wait for it to harden completely.
Your massage candle is ready!
