Keep Your Hands Looking Great with Regular Professional Manicures

Everyone loves a great manicure. You leave the salon with soft, great looking hands and nails and the effects are long-lasting. Do you consider manicures a luxury, only to be done for special occasions? Many of us do, only indulging for that pre-wedding party or prom day preparation. But getting manicures are for more than beauty and luxury. Regular, professional manicures are important for healthy hands.

Your hands do a lot of work for you all day, and they’re always exposed to the elements. In addition, everyone sees your hands, so gorgeous nails help make a great first impression. That’s a lot to demand from your hands! They need special, regular attention to keep both skin and nails healthy.

Cleansing. You wash your hands all day, but that only removes dirt from the surface. The skin on your hands needs deep cleaning to remove dirt and pollutants that build up on your hands throughout the day.

Exfoliation. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells that can clog pores, causing your hands to look dull and preventing moisturizer from penetrating your skin. Regular exfoliation by a professional helps your skin look brighter and allows serums and moisturizers to penetrate deeply and work effectively.

Moisturizing. Your professional manicure technician has an arsenal of moisturizing products to customize your hands’ moisturizing treatments. Because this step follows a deep cleanse and exfoliation, these moisturizing serums and creams can penetrate deeply for optimal moisturizing.

Massage. Professional manicures include a hand massage, which helps stimulate circulation, delivering oxygen to your cells for optimal health. It also stimulates the lymphatic system, which transports waste out of your tissues. Proper circulation is crucial for your health, inside and out.

Cuticle care. Your cuticles are an important part of nail health. They’re the first line of defense to keep bacteria and toxins out of your hands. Cuticles require special care to keep them soft and durable. Your professional manicure technician uses special products and techniques to keep cuticles strong.

Nail care. Nails require the special care of a professional to keep them strong and healthy. Nails are made of keratin, a special protein also found in your hair that keeps structures strong. Regular trims, assessment of nail health, and special products are required to keep nails healthy. A professional manicure technician can also spot and treat potential problems, like ingrown nails and fungus, before they become a problem.

Finally, a great manicure is the perfect way to relax and have a little “me” time. Professional manicure appointments only take a few minutes out of your busy day, but they give you a chance to unwind and relax. Having great-looking hands and nails afterward is a plus!
