How do I get hot towels for beauty or spa treatments? Can I put them in the microwave?

Question

I'm doing some hand massages for a group of ladies tomorrow and I've heard that by putting a hand mask on them and then wrapping their hands in hot (not wet) towels is really nice.

Any ideas how I can get them hot at the right time? Wouls I be able to put them in the microwave with a bowl of water next to them or would I really need to wet them?

Any answers really appreciated x

Answer 1

yea, microwave would be best way
good luck

Answer 2

i am a beauty therapist you dont need to place them in a microwave. A option is to put on the mask wrap the hands in cling - film to keep the heat in and so that the product will absorb more effectively into the skin, leave the mask on for 15mins. Then fill a sink with hot water place small towels in and wring them out and use these to remove the excess mask.

The microwave is a bit small for that I would have thought, put them in the tumble dryer for 20 minutes instead
