What is the primary purpose of using paraffin masks?

The primary purpose of using paraffin masks is to hydrate the skin, promote product penetration, and increase circulation. Paraffin masks are warm wax-like substances that are applied to the skin. The heat from the paraffin helps to open up the pores, allowing for deeper absorption of beneficial ingredients in skincare products. This warmth also stimulates blood circulation, which can enhance the overall health and appearance of the skin.

While exfoliation and the removal of dead skin cells are important aspects of skincare, they are typically accomplished through different methods, such as scrubs or chemical exfoliants, rather than through paraffin masks. The cooling effect is also not a key benefit of paraffin, as its primary function is to provide warmth, thus optimizing hydrating properties and improving circulation.
