Soy Candles Make a New Healthy Hand Lotion!

One of my favorite and thoughtful Christmas gifts that I received from my daughter was this soy candle in jar. She was aware of how I was trying to go more organic and green in my life. After she tested this soy candle out in the store she realized that this was not just an ordinary candle. The soy candle liquefies and doubles into a silky lotion. You can apply it to any part of your skin, elbows, hands, and feet. The wax is not hot, just warm. Then once it dries on your skin, it leaves you with a silky feeling. I even tried it on my face and felt a soothing difference in the texture. However, you shouldn't leave it on your face if you plan to apply makeup because there could be some wax residue. I found it to be a special aide against these harsh winter climates which can leave your skin dry and rough. Ok, I do live in Florida, but it does get cold here too; leaving our skin chapped and dry.

The candle leaves your home healthy and environmentally friendly because it is smokeless. Unlike a traditional candle which will cause soot and put out carcinogens into the air, the soy candle is clean and green. Research shows that soy candles do burn longer than ordinary candles.

It also provides a wonderful aromatherapy. Between the benefits of aromatherapy and the silky lotion it creates, you feel like you have your own home spa just with a little candle. You don't have to buy those special paraffin home baths which can be costly and messy, just to get that soft skin from a wax treatment. As a matter of fact, some of those paraffin baths can get hot enough to burn your skin if you are sensitive to temperature. However, that won't happen with the soy candle.
