Wax warmers can be broadly categorized into two types. One is the wax warmer designed to spread soothing fragrance in your room, office, spa, cabin, etc., and the other variant is designed to make hair removal a walk in the park. The aromatic lamp-like wax warmers are generally manufactured using metal or ceramic material. Metal wax warmers are durable, rust-resistant, and impact-resistant, while ceramic is durable, lightweight, rigid, and heat resistant. In contrast, wax warmers in the waxing kits are manufactured using a plastic body and metal lining. The plastic body makes the machine lightweight, corrosion-resistant, durable, and easy to clean, whereas the metal lining makes it heat-resistant, sturdy, and impact-resistant.
Aromatic wax warmers use a bulb as the heat source, which is lit at a stable temperature. They are extremely easy to use, as all you have to do is plug the power cable and turn on the switch. The heat from the bulb melts the wax placed on the removable tray and you start to smell the pleasant soothing fragrance all around you. You can also use these wax warmers as night lamps to lighten your room and create a calming atmosphere. They are available in different patterns.
On the other hand, wax warmerscan be used to warm wax to use during the hair removal process.
Wax Warmer FAQ
Q: Besides wax, what else can I put in my wax warmer?
A: You can use the wax warmer for multiple purposes. Some of them are designed to make hair removal effortless, saving you salons trips. Other variants of wax warmers are also used as scent diffusers and even night lamps. So, besides wax, you can put vanilla extract, essential oils, or even liquid potpourri for a more soothing and relaxing ambiance. Many people are allergic to harsh scents, and thus, they prefer making their customized fragrant wax by putting in their favorite scent so that they don't have to buy the expensive aromatized wax cubes.
Q: How often should I change my wax melts?
A: Wax melts have different lifespans depending on their composition. However, it is advised that you swap out wax melts once you can no longer smell the fragrance. The wax melts used in wax warmers are infused with particular scents, and once you put them on the tray, the scent begins to dissipate. A low-quality wax melt will probably have around 5-8 hours of melting time. On the contrary, the luxury high-end wax melts are comparatively expensive and would last approximately 20 hours of fragrance. Depending on the quality of a wax melt and its fragrance power, you can change your wax melts. Therefore, if you don't smell the fragrance in your room anymore, it is probably the right time to change the wax melts.
