MANICURE AND PEDICURE HEALTH BENEFITS
Treat Yourself. It's Healthy!
You already know that a mani-pedi makes your nails look fantastic. What
you may not know is that a professional nail treatment actually has
long-term and health benefits as well!
Skin Care
Your hands are more exposed to daily dirt and weather than any part of your body, except maybe your face. That means that they accumulate grime easily, as well as constantly create new skin cells and slough off the old. Your feet are generally only exposed in the spring and summer times, but walking on them all day can create callouses and other uneven skin conditions. A professional manicure includes a thorough cleaning and lotions designed to exfoliate your skin. Any grime will be removed, as will dead skin cells, keeping your hands smooth and reducing any appearance of wrinkles. A professional pedicure will also exfoliate your skin, as well as remove any callouses on the bottom of your feet. This not only makes your feet more attractive, it also helps you distribute your weight more evenly across your feet, which can reduce leg and back pain after standing for long periods.
Blood Flow
In addition to exfoliating, moisturizers and cuticle treatments are massaged into the skin in a professional mani-pedi. This massage action is not only incredibly relaxing, it also helps to improve blood circulation to your extremities. This can reduce pain and help your body distribute heat during cold months.
Fungal Infections
Fungi often grow on toe nails when your feet are exposed to excess moisture. Often, it takes a few weeks for the infection to become noticeable. However, a professional manicurist will be able to identify a fungal infection even in its early stages, when it is most easily treated. Getting regular pedicures is actually a great way to maintain the health of your toes.
Mental Health
For starters, manicures and pedicures can be a great way to relax muscles and reduce stress levels when life gets too intense. A mani-pedi is an incredible approach to unwind and be spoiled. Different nail salons will charge differently for the different treatments, you can choose which treatment you want and can save your money while getting your hands and feet pampered by the expert. You can also get your nail polished, can choose gel nail designs, have spa nails, or go for UV gel nails, etc., after your mani-pedi.
