I would recommend anyone that wants to soothe their hands or feet to a paraffin wax treatment, it also helps with joint pain, arthritis etc and it really makes your hand and feet feel so smooth.  I used to regularly give my clients a paraffin wax treatment when they came for a manicure or pedicure and they loved it, especially in the winter to feel the heat.  When I get the chance I also dip my hands and feet into it as I love the feeling :)
