One of the most relaxing days is a Spa Day. A day to wind down and focus on your wellbeing. However, a day of self-care can often be marred when a spa uses harmful products. Have you ever been relaxing at a spa only to notice they are burning paraffin candles? Often this is simply due to a lack of knowledge about the dangers of burning paraffin. Unlike burning pure beeswax candles, paraffin pollutes the air, which completely negates all your reasons to look forward to a day of health and wellness.
To avoid exposure to paraffin candles, talk to your local spa about the products they use before booking. Many spas will make it clear in their name that they avoid harmful products by using terms such as ‘green spa or ‘organic spa’, however we still recommend checking with staff about exactly what types of products they are using. If they are burning pure beeswax candles, then you can sit back and relax, knowing you are not breathing in harmful fumes and enjoy the warm glow that only pure beeswax candles can provide.If you can’t find a spa whose products you are comfortable with, then head to the Honey Candles online store and put on your own home spa day!
