Sensual or erotic massages are one of the yummiest things you can offer your partner. But what if you wanted to go the extra mile or step up your massage game to impress your lover? Well, you can do that by simply adding a massage candle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while there are countless options out there, you should still be aware of some things before you hit the buy button and even more points of caution when you\u2019re actually using them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But don\u2019t worry, because this simple massage candle guide has you covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHOPPING FOR MASSAGE CANDLES<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

If you\u2019re not sure where to start looking or you\u2019re worried about quality, the safest bets are skincare brands that make massage candles (instead of adult toy companies). These candles are specifically made to nourish the epidermis. Or look for what some fancy-dancy spas use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That being said, there are plenty (and I do mean PLENTY) of adult products that have perfect safe, and utterly divine massage candles that will be fantastic for the skin and very safe to use as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes them safe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

It all boils down to the ingredients.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

Massage candles are made from soy wax<\/strong> \u2013 NOT paraffin. This is because soy has a lower melting point and will melt without getting super-hot. Even the wicks should be soy-based.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, a massage candle should have such a low melting point that the heat from your body is enough to liquefy it. You can go as far as scooping out a finger-full from the cup\/tin if you need to (but that sort of defeats the purpose).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from the wax, you\u2019ll usually see a ton of different body oils like shea butter, cocoa<\/strong> butter, apricot kernel oil, sweet almond oil,<\/strong> etc. Then there are essential oils or other scents<\/strong> to make you feel something like relaxed, energized, or getting in the mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might hear about some using beeswax, but they should be tempered with other ingredients to lower the melting point. And it\u2019s daintily not something to use if you\u2019re going the DIY route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, when you\u2019re buying<\/strong><\/a>, first check the ingredients to make sure they\u2019re using the right stuff. Also, if you\u2019re worried about sensitive skin, there are several options out there that are \u201cscentless.\u201d The product should also get extra bonus points if it doesn\u2019t leave oil stains on fabric and can easily be washed out of your sheets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you\u2019re about to lather down your partner, remember<\/strong> a candle is still a candle.<\/strong> You need to follow simple flame rules regardless of what you\u2019re doing with the wax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
