Allure of Massage Candles
The very idea of pouring molten wax onto the skin can seem less than romantic, not to mention pleasurable. Though a massage candle is a far cry from a conventional candle. High-quality massage candles use some sort of special formula of body-safe wax with a much lower melting point. It liquefies into warm liquid massage oil that can be drizzled onto the skin and massaged in for the ultimate feeling of relaxation and closeness during the experience.
Setting the Mood for Love
Before you dive into that massage, consider these details:
- Check Ingredients: Make sure there aren't any ingredients in the candle that might cause an allergic reaction. Premium massage candles have low fragrance percentages so as not to irritate the skin.
- Safety Precautions: Observe normal precautions for candle use. Keep any combustible items away, and never leave the candle alone while burning. Use a stable surface; for example, placing the candle on a nightstand instead of a bed.
- Preparation: Light the candle a few minutes in advance, before pouring, if it is for a small area massage, or 15-30 minutes prior for a whole-body massage. As the wax melts in the warmed candle, this will leave you with warm oil that's perfect for massage.
- Temperature Testing: Massage candles normally heat the oil to approximately 102 degrees Fahrenheit or 39 degrees Celsius. Snuff out the flame and test the oil's temperature on a small portion of your skin, like your hand, so that it will feel comfortable for your partner.
Creating the Experience
Massage candles can make your love life even better because of the aromatherapy they provide, eradicating fatigue and stress by replacing them with comfort. Here's how you can use massage candles to have a perfect experience with your partner:
- Pouring and Massaging: Now that the oil is warmed up, blow out the candle, and slowly pour the warmed oil onto your partner's skin if they feel it is at an optimum temperature. Spread it straight away to distribute warmth and avoid spills on bedding or furniture. But try to keep your moves gentle and slow at the same time.
- Exploration and Sensation: Begin massaging with slow, long strokes. Experiment to find techniques and pressures that work best for both of you. The warmth of the oil can enhance the sensory feel, adding a dash of romance and some spice to your massage.
- Sensory Play: Remember to balance the warmth of the oil with other sensations to create an interesting contrast for sensuality. Consider the contrast of warm candle massage oil and ice cubes. This playfulness can indeed heighten intimacy and pleasure.
Massage candles, according to relationship experts, ignite desire and closeness. It responds to one's body while touching and massaging your partner, which helps develop desire and further strengthens the intimate relationship between the partners.
