Most soy candles smell delicious and they look pretty in their glass tumblers. If you buy the right kind, you can give your skin a deeply nourishing treatment too.

Soy wax melts at a much lower temperature than mineral wax. Light your candle and let it pool for an hour or two (put it on your dining room table and then take it with you when you have a bath), dip your fingers into the pool and massage the wax all over your body. It won’t burn, and skin will be soft and nourished until your next bath.
