Your hands are constantly on show, and in summer, your feet are too. Neat, well-cared for nails add immeasurably to the appearance of your hands and feet, whether you are male or female. Treating yourself to a manicure and pedicure regularly keeps your hands, feet and nails in optimum condition.
Most manicures and pedicures include exfoliation of the dead skin cells on your hands and feet to improve the appearance and stimulate regeneration. A pumice stone is used to remove dead skin and calluses from the feet, often the cause of aches and pains when standing for long periods of time. There is a lot more to a manicure and pedicure at a salon than just a coat of polish!
Cuticles are trimmed and treated with special hydrating products. Creams are used to massage the forearm and hand, as well as the lower leg and foot. This not only moisturizes them, it also improves blood circulation, important for skin rejuvenation. Pain from arthritis and other ailments is also relieved by the professional massage you will receive.
Fungal nail infections are easy to deal with if they are spotted early and your manicurist will be able to advise you on treatment if you appear to be susceptible. Because some nail diseases are highly infectious, you may have to seek medical treatment before you can have a manicure and pedicure. Some diseases will need professional medical advice and medicine.
Your manicure will continue with your nails being cleaned, buffed, trimmed and shaped. You can choose the length and shape you prefer. If you are having nail polish applied, you will then choose a colour from the salon’s selection, or you can bring your own. A French manicure always looks fabulous when it is done at the salon. You will get a base coat, two coats of polish and a top coat. Often a treatment, such as cuticle oil, is added after the last coat of polish to help maintain the condition of the nails and cuticles. You should try not to bump or smudge the nails for at least an hour after you have had them done.
Manicures can last 2 to 3 weeks, and pedicures even longer. No matter how hard you try, you will probably never match that with a home pedicure. The secret is in the professional nail care products the salons use, and the expertise that goes into applying them all properly. After a professional manicure or pedicure you will definitely want to show your hands and feet off!
Many people will only have a manicure and pedicure at a salon for special occasions such as weddings or special events and before going on holiday. Some salons offer a mobile manicure and pedicure service, where the manicurist will come to your home or office to perform the treatments, bringing their equipment with them. This saves you the additional travel time, parking concerns and rushing through traffic afterwards. It’s also particularly useful if, as for a wedding, you need to avoid chips or breaks at all costs. Cars are notoriously unfriendly to newly manicured nails.
Treat yourself to a manicure and pedicure, regularly if your budget allows, or every now and then as a luxury. It is extremely relaxing, and you don’t have to worry about the cat bumping into you or the kids needing something just as you apply the last coat of polish. You can sit back, relax and be pampered, knowing that you will have beautiful hands and feet when it’s all done.
