How do massage candles work?
They're typically made from a blend of oil and natural waxes, and they're infused with aromas that help you unwind and relax.
As you burn the candles, the gorgeous scent not only fills the room but creates a warm oil that you can rub on your body.
These candles are designed to burn at a lower temperature compared with the normal candles you fill your home with. So it's safe to apply the liquid to the skin.
