Christmas is right around the corner, and this calls for a true celebration!
While a pop of colour with Christmas-y, trendy and sparkly nail art is sure to get you in the festive spirit, getting a manicure and pedicure is more than about glitz and glamour!
Most people think of mani-pedis as a ‘treat’ for special occasions or holidays. But getting regular manicures and pedicures comes with some great advantages.
Feeling curious? Let’s take a look at the 3 amazing benefits of manicures and pedicures.
Top 3 Benefits of Regular Manicures and Pedicures
- Guaranteed Nail Health
Poor nail hygiene is one of the leading causes of infections such as fungal infections. This is because your hands come in contact with several products or ‘things’ every single day. In addition, your feet are also susceptible to infections as they come in contact with moisture from socks or shoes and dirt in general.
While washing and sanitising your hands is great, there’s always chances of those substances sliding into the crevices of your nails and settling in.
A professional nail care expert deep cleans your nails, removing all kinds of dirt, debris and pollutants that may sneak under your nail cap or into the corners. This prevents bacteria build up and eliminates dead skin cells. With a regular manicure and pedicure, you’ll have clean, fresh and healthy nails.
- Better Blood Circulation
A great mani-pedi isn’t about the nail design only – it involves extensive cleaning of hard-to-reach areas and massages that boost blood circulation. Although mani-pedis are definitely relaxing, the massages your nail tech gives you actually improve your blood flow, which have incredible health benefits.
According to a study conducted by University of Illinois, improvement in blood flow regulation reduces soreness or pain in hands, legs, and feet. With the massage therapy you receive in your mani-pedi session, your body pain is likely to decline immensely.
In addition, as massages active smooth blood flow into your hands and feet, they’re likely to have a glow to them. This means regular manicures and pedicures result in younger looking hands and feet!
- Actual Decompression
Your hands and feet serve you all day long. From cooking, cleaning and other chores to working, walking, exercising and whatnot, your hands and feet get you through the day. You may not realise it but with constant pressure, your hands and feet are likely to feel sore, especially when you hit the bed after a long day of work!
Scheduling a ‘self-love’ day every month and getting your favourite manicure and pedicure treatment gives you a chance to relax and decompress. A seasoned professional nail tech soaks your hands and feet in the warm water, which automatically relaxes your nerves.
Next, experts usually scrub and exfoliate the dead skin cells. They also clear your cuticles and file your nails that might be dry, crusty, chipped or coarse. They use hydrating lotions to massage your hands, arms, feet and legs to not only relax your muscles but also give your skin the nourishment it needs.
A mani-pedi isn’t just a treat, it’s a way to decompress after a stressful work week or month to take care of YOU.
