How does regular manicuring/pedicuring benefit my health?
Regular (every 4 – 6 weeks) manicuring and pedicuring benefit health in a few ways. Pushing back cuticles, cleaning under nails, and the removal of dead skin and calluses enables healthy new skin and nail cells to grow, while allowing your esthetician an opportunity to detect any issues that may warrant a doctor’s referral. It can also help to break harmful habits, like nail biting and cuticle picking. Manipulation of the hands and feet by way of massage is not only relaxing and hydrating, but also promotes circulation, which contributes to the health of the skin and nails. Scrubs and masques stimulate, and paraffin treatments moisturize the skin and provide deep heat therapy to aching joints.
