10 Beauty Tips to Perfect Skin

 

Different Types Of Pedicure

Different types of pedicure

 Pedicures vary between each salon and spa. Usually, the difference between them is the type of products used and the treatment procedure. You can usually tell what you're in for from a salon description of the treatment.

 

Express pedicure

This treatment is suitable for feet that are in good condition and persons with limited time. The feet are soaked, scrubbed the toe nails are cut filed and cuticles pushed back. Complete with choice of favorite nail colour

 

Standard Pedicure

As above but with hard skin removal and foot massage.

 

Intensive paraffin wax: this pedicure includes warm wax wrapped into the fee and toe nails.  This treatment is an intensive moisturizing treatment and leaves the skin very soft and hydrated. Excellent during the winter months as it also helps soothe arthritic aches and pains. Ideally polish should be left off to allow the benefits of the products to penetrate into the toe nails and cuticles.

 

Gel pedicure: this treatment uses a gel colour that is set with a UV light for a long-lasting glossy finish. This treatment does not usually use the foot spa as the toe nails need to be kept dry as possible to allow bonding of the gel products. The feet are cleaned, toe nails prepared and filed a foot file is used for hard skin removal and foot cream massaged into the feet after the gel has been applied.

 

Luxury pedicure: this whole-foot treatment usually includes massage, softening paraffin wax or mask with heated towels or heated booties. If you have lots of hard skin or enjoy and your feet and lower legs massaged this treatment is bliss.

 

Hot tip!

Your choice of footwear is crucial when you go for a pedicure. Salon -standard nail polish may take a few hours to dry completely. You don't want to have to push those high-gloss finishes into socks and trainers for your cycle home. Whatever you arrive in, make sure that you have flip-flops or open sandals to wear when you leave (unless you're having a pedicure that involves gel polish, which is cured under UV light and dries instantly).

 

 

Tops Tips to Prevent and Repair Dry - Damaged Nails.

Soak nails in olive oil
For weak, thin nails, soak them in extra virgin olive oil 10-15 minutes a day for a month, then twice a week thereafter. This inexpensive home beauty treatment will help fortify damaged, weak or peeling nails.

Use a cuticle cream
A soothing cuticle cream like Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme helps nourish dry cuticles and brittle, damaged nails with vitamin E. Massage the cream into and around your nails nightly before going to bed.
Wear gloves for chores
When doing the dishes, cleaning and gardening, wear gloves. Detergents and cleansers are harsh on your fingernails, causing drying, spitting and peeling. Soil and gardening can also cause damage to your nails.
Find a miracle treatment
Sally Hansen Miracle Cure for Severe Problem Nails works wonders. It stops nails from peeling almost overnight. Using a mineral rich formula with protein and antioxidants, this treatment helps restore dry, splitting, damaged nails. A clear coat of nail polish may also help protect nails.
Eat biotin-rich foods
Make sure your diet features foods rich in biotin, such as liver, cooked eggs, whole grains, cauliflower and avocado, among others. In addition to other health benefits, biotin can help strengthen and thicken nails. You can also take a biotin supplement, if necessary.
Don't overuse your nails
Your fingernails aren't intended to be tools to open soda cans, dial the phone and other tasks. Instead, use a pen or other object rather than your fingernails to do these everyday tasks.
Take a multivitamin daily
Vitamins are essential for your overall well-being and can do wonders for your nails too. Lack of vitamin A, vitamin C and calcium can cause dry, brittle nails. Be sure to take a multivitamin and calcium supplements daily. Also be sure to eat a protein and calcium rich diet.
Massage your nails

Massaging your fingernails stimulates blood flow to the area, helping them grow longer and stronger. Use a moisturizing lotion and massage hands, cuticles and the nails themselves. Also, get into the habit of applying lotion immediately after washing your hands.
Drink lots of water

We all know how good water is for your overall health and that goes for your nails too. Drinking water can help hydrate dry, damaged nails, just like it does for hair and skin.
