Benefits of Manicure & Pedicure?

BLOOD CIRCULATION
While undergoing any manicure
or pedicure treatment, apart from
exfoliating, moisturizing, getting
treatments for the cuticles, you will also
receive a relaxing massage for your
hands and feet. It not only helps in
relaxing the muscles but also improves
the blood circulation and enhances the
mobility of the joints. This can diminish agony and help your body circulate warm amid
cold months.

fungi are decreased. Our hands are exposed to a lot of outer elements and products
daily. It’s a smart idea to have a profound cleaning so the dead skin cells on your

grounded and more beneficial. The expert at the nail salon will help you in choosing

exposed to daily dirt and weather
as compared to any other part of
your body, except your face. That
means they can collect dirt easily
which might result in dead skin.
Your feet are mostly exposed in the
summer or spring season but
walking on them or standing on them can create callousness and other uneven skin
conditions.

extraordinary approach to keeping up the wellbeing of your toes. So, start looking for

What is Hand Spa?


Hand spa helps remove dead
cells and callous. Callous appear
on hands because of the constant
friction of the skin to the materials
they use. Hand spa is a treatment
performed by professionally trained
staff. This treatment is done to
replenish, restore and rejuvenate
naturally tired hands

BENEFITS OF HAND SPA:


o Petroleum-based paraffin wax is used in salons and spas to soften and
soothe skin, most often on the hands and feet, and sometimes on arms
and legs. Your hands are submerged in the warm liquid wax of a paraffin
hand spa, and the wax then hardens slightly on your skin and is removed
after a few minutes. The paraffin wax helps deep-moisturize and condition
the skin on your hands, and your nails and cuticles.
o The paraffin wax used in spa treatments acts as an emollient, which helps
trap moisture in the skin. Once the paraffin has been rubbed or peeled
away, rough hands and dry cuticles are left soft and moisturized. Salons
often use the wax spa as a soothing pretreatment to a manicure.
o Paraffin wax is solid at room temperature but melts at temperatures from
116 to 147 degrees Fahrenheit. The heat from a wax spa also helps
temporarily soothe aching joints and increase circulation, which gives
hands a more youthful appearance. The spa's heat has a relaxing effect,
helping calm and relieve stress in the same way a warm bath does. Some
paraffin spas include scented oils, such as lavender and tea tree, for the
additional benefit of aromatherapy.
What is Foot Spa?
a great way to help pumper yourself after a stress-filled day as it improves the
process of reflexology, which can benefit your entire body
may include a foot bath, foot massage, moisturizers, exfoliation, acupressure,
improve reflexology, and pedicure.
BENEFITS:
o IMPROVES BLOOD CIRCULATION:
Due to a sedentary lifestyle, many people
don’t use their feet muscles properly, thus
impeding good blood flow. Also, tight,
pointed shoes–especially high heels–hinder
circulation. Ten minutes of foot massage daily
helps in transporting oxygen to the body’s
cells, which is essential for overall health.
o HELPS IN RELAXATION: After a tiring
and stressful day, a foot massage is a soothing and relaxing way to relax,
particularly after a long day of standing and walking around, as the feet
tend to swell up. Massage and reflexology of 5 to 10 minutes before going
to bed can improve feelings of general well-being.
o PROMOTES BETTER SLEEP: The best time to do foot massage is before
going to bed. A soothing and relaxing foot massage improves the blood
circulation. This helps in getting a peaceful sleep.
o RELIEVES BODY PAINS: This is the best part of reflexology. If done
carefully, it treats pains and aches such as headaches, migraines, neck
pain, lower and upper backaches.
o IMPROVES MOOD AND FIGHTS DEPRESSION: Foot massage and
reflexology helps in fighting depression. Certain points on the feet are
helpful in alleviating depression symptoms. Massaging these points or
applying pressure to them for a few minutes 2 or 3 times a day can help
relieve symptoms of depression.
o MAKES FEET HEALTHIER: One easy way to help keep your feet
healthy and free from foot problems is a regular foot massage. It helps
stimulate the muscles around your feet, lessens stiffness and even reduces
pain in the ankles or the heels. Plus, a short 5-minute foot massage daily
will make your ankles strong and flexible, thus preventing unpleasant ankle
and foot injuries
o ALLEVIATES SWELLING (EDEMA): Regular foot massage during
pregnancy can help reduce the effects of edema, which is swelling in the
feet and ankles due to fluid retention. This is very common during
pregnancy, especially in the last trimester.
What is Paraffin Wax?
Paraffin wax is a white or colorless soft, solid wax. It’s made from saturated
hydrocarbons.
It’s often used in skin-softening salon and spa treatments on the hands,
cuticles, and feet because it’s colorless, tasteless, and odorless. It can also
be used to provide pain relief to sore joints and muscles.
BENEFITS:
o Cosmetic benefits:
Cosmetically, paraffin wax
is often applied to the
hands and feet. The wax is
a natural emollient, helping
make skin supple and soft.
When applied to the skin, it
adds moisture and
continues to boost the
moisture levels of the skin
after the treatment is
complete.
It can also help open pores and remove dead skin cells.
That may help make the skin look fresher and feel smoother.
o Therapeutic benefits: Paraffin wax may be used to help relieve pain
in the hands of people with:
 osteoarthritis
 rheumatoid arthritis
 fibromyalgia
 other joint mobility issues
It acts like a form of heat therapy and can help increase
blood flow, relax muscles, and decrease joint stiffness. Paraffin wax
can also minimize muscle spasms and inflammation as well as treat
sprains.
