Make your own massage candle
For us, homemade gifts are one of the best parts of the pre-Christmas period. Taking time for your loved ones, being creative and trying something new - like a DIY massage candle , for example.
If you are now wondering: What is a massage candle?
A massage candle is not just a candle that you simply light. It is actually intended to be massaged directly onto the skin. The homemade candle is not made of wax like conventional candles, but of fats and oils: almond oil, shea butter and cocoa butter. They have a lower melting point than rapeseed wax or paraffin, for example. This means you can apply the liquid "massage wax" directly to your skin without burning yourself. The warmth is incredibly beneficial for you and your skin . At the same time, the skin is cared for with valuable raw materials and feels wonderfully smooth afterwards.
Give the gift of time out and peace
A massage candle can be a small symbol for a voucher for a spa or a massage from yourself. The DIY idea is implemented in no time and you only need a few ingredients. Especially in the small Ball Mason Jar | Quilted | 120 ml with the pretty diamond pattern, it creates great light effects and is perfect as "gift packaging".Zerowaste gift in a jar
