gourmet body massage soy candle

Body Massage Candles are very new to the marketplace.  They are known by names as: massage oil candles, body candles, body massage candles, or lotion candles.  At first glance they look like any other candle.  The truth is that they are very different.  They are actually massage oil in solid form.  Some are massage oil and lotion combined.  The purpose of a massage candle is to provide a simple method of heating the massage oil before it is applied to the body. 

Massage candles are usually scented with fragrance oils or essential oils.  When they are lit they will produce a pleasing aroma.  Due to the fact that they are intended for skin contact they don’t contain as much scent and are not as strong as a regular candle.  Massage candles are generally safe for skin use.  They don’t get as hot as a traditional candle and are therefore safe to apply on the skin.  They are typically made from all natural ingredients and can include various butters, oils, fragrance oils, and essential oils.  Since Shea butter is a common ingredient, persons with nut allergies should use caution with this product, as it may cause a reaction.  Any massage candle that uses products that contain citrus oils such as: orange, lemon, lime, or bergamot should avoid direct sunlight immediately after its use.  Massage candles are for external use only.

As with the use of any candle, be sure that it is on a stable heat resistant surface and not close to flammable objects while burning.  Don’t move the candle while it is burning and never leave a lit candle unattended.  Always keep massage candles away from children and pets.  It is always best to extinguish the flame with a candle snuffer.

Massage candles are so popular as they provide couples with a romantic and intimate experience.  It is a perfect way to set the mood, as they interact with 3 of the 5 senses, sight, smell and touch.  When the massage candle has lotion added it provides a quality spa experience in the privacy of your own home, that leaves your skin moisturized and delicately scented.

It is simple to use a massage candle.  Light the wick and let it burn 15-20 minutes.  The massage oil will melt and form a pool of warm oil on the top of the candle.  The massage oil will only reach a temperature slightly above normal body temperature.  As your candle is burning you will enjoy its pleasing aroma.  After the 15-20 minutes, snuff the flame out and drizzle a small amount of oil on the area of skin to be massaged.  Be sure to use a small amount, as it goes a very long way!  Then massage the warm oil into the skin and enjoy the moisturizing softness it provides.
