The Benefits Of A Professional Manicure And Pedicure
Wednesday, July 21st, 2010The most exposed part of your body is your hands, as they are always on show. In summer, with pretty sandals and bare feet the order of the day, your feet are exposed to scrutiny as well. The benefits of a professional manicure and pedicure include much more than just the appearance of your hands and feet.
Most people think of a manicure or pedicure as just having your nails trimmed, shaped and polish applied, but there’s a lot more to these treatments that is extremely beneficial. Most manicures and pedicures include exfoliation, removing dead skin cells and smoothing the skin. A pedicure will also include removal of dead skin and calluses with a pumice, which not only makes the feet look better, but will lessen the pain felt when standing on callused feet for long periods of time.
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.
Manicurists are trained to recognise nail diseases and disorders such as fungal diseases, and can help you treat them by recommending over the counter products you can use, or advise you that you need to seek medical attention. Some nail diseases may result in the manicurist being unable to provide your treatment, as some diseases are highly infectious.
Once your massage is complete, the manicurist will start on your nails. They will be cleaned, buffed, trimmed, shaped and polished if required. Using professional products and trained manicurists, salons can produce astonishing results with damaged or untidy nails. You can choose from their nail colours, or bring your own for them to apply. The manicurist will apply a base coat, at least two coats of colour and a top coat. Sometimes a treatment oil is added on top of the last layer to condition the nails and cuticles.
Although you may be able to apply nail polish yourself, it is unlikely that you will take the time or trouble to apply all the other treatments and procedures that a professional manicure and pedicure provides. In addition to all the extra pampering, you can expect a professional manicure to last about three weeks, and a pedicure can last up to 5 or 6 weeks. During that time you will be able to proudly bare your hands and feet, comfortable with the super soft condition of the skin and the quality of the treatment.
For special occasions or summer vacations, get a professional manicure or pedicure at a salon. Mobile salon services are a convenient way to get a manicure or pedicure in the comfort of your own home or at the office. A last minute invitation or time constraints are easily dealt with, as the salon will send a technician to your location to give you the same professional treatment you would get at the salon. It also saves you travelling time, and helps to prevent smudges before the nails are properly dried.
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.
