Paraffin wax
Cost $10
DETAILS
Hands or feet are dipped in warm wax before they’re covered in plastic to seal in the heat and moisture. The wax dries and stays on the body for about ten minutes before it’s peeled off. It’s believed to relax muscles, soften skin and warm the body on a cold day.
WE SAY
Hell, yeah. This is one of our favorite add-ons. It feels like a hot bath—but better.
MINTON SAYS
A really upscale spa will just give that to you for free. But I’d pay for it, especially in the winter months. It’s really good for your cuticles.
