Think about this — it’s raining outside, and your room is dimly-lit with the flame of a candle burning in front of you. The candle melts with every passing second, and a pool of wax accumulates around the wick. You put out the flame, and submerge your fingers in the wax — before scooping a little bit out of the tin, and massaging it into your skin softly. It feels warm and relaxing — as if you’re indulging in a massage.
Because that’s exactly what you’re doing — yes, they exist. Candles that don’t just infuse your room with head-tingling scents, but melt into body-loving oils for you to drench your skin in right before ending the night. We’re putting together an assortment of such skin-loving elixirs in this story. Ahead — the finest.
Reserve These Candles For A Relaxing Night In Your Room
Friends? No. Candle With Benefits
Bask in the scent of head-tingling butters wafting through your room before scooping a dollop of the wax from the candle, and transferring it into a bowl — drench your body in the oil, and massage gently. This soy-based, vegan candle doesn’t contain any chemicals or toxins, and enhances your mood instantly. Don’t worry about it burning your body — it won’t. The oil is just warm enough to relax your muscles.
Patchouli Pangs
This patchouli-scented candle is an assortment of cocoa butter, shea butter, avocado and Ylang Ylang oils. It’s ultra-moisturising, and lends an instant sheen to your body. Because it is composed of essential oils, it’s excellent at relieving stress and anxiety as well — think about coming home from work, and indulging in the multiple aromas of this candle before having your partner massage your body. It’s quite the dream. The product does not contain paraffin, petroleum, animal or beeswax products either.
Break Up With Your Body Oil — I’m Bored
This one qualifies as a full-on skin-treatment thanks to its composition of six body-loving ingredients — rapeseed oil, soybean oil, sweet almond oil, cocoa seed butter, baobab and jojoba oil. It drizzles moisture into the skin instantly, and nourishes the skin with Vitamins C, A, D, E and F and essential fatty acids. Just light this candle before stepping into the shower to pump invigorating scents into the space — and by the time you’re done, the luxurious candle’s body-loving alter-ego is ready for you.
Sultry Sandalwood
Do you like the scent of sandalwood? Imagine it ricocheting not just off the walls off your room but your body. This candle is handmade and hand-poured, and is absolutely environment-friendly. Just burn it for five minutes before putting out the flame, and dousing your body in the oil accumulated around the wick.
Third Wheeling & Thriving
You can take this candle wherever you go — specially crafted for couples, it bottles sensual and seductive notes, and hydrates the your body almost instantly. It contains no petroleum products or additives, artificial fragrances, or synthetic colors, and is absolutely safe for application.
These candles burn clean, and they’re long-lasting too. Please do conduct a patch-test if your skin is sensitive to new products.
