How to use massage oil candles

Danièle Ryman’s massage oils candles are really effective yet simple to use.  To get the most from your candle, here are the basic instructions:

  • Remove the lid and light the wick of the massage oil candle.
  • Leave the flame burning for a few minutes. You will see the natural butters and oils turning to liquid.
  • Put out the flame by replacing the lid.
  • Pour a small amount of oil on to your hand or the part of the body to be massaged. It will not burn but try a drop to test the temperature is comfortable for you.
  • Massage the oil into your skin, using gentle circular movements to ensure the experience is both enjoyable and effective.
  • Repeat with more oil, as required for the areas to be massaged.
  • If you have not finished when the flame goes out, simply light it again.
  • When you have taken enough oil for your massage, put out the flame by putting the lid back on. The wonderful, subtle aromas will fill the room for a while and you will preserve the remaining massage oil for your next treatment.

NOTE:
Do not burn the massage oil candle for more than 60 minutes as the natural cotton wick will degrade (it is also a shame to waste oil if you have taken what you need).
