Removes Tan
The combination of bleaching, exfoliating and soaking in warm water works to remove stubborn tan marks, thus revealing your natural skin tone.
Keeps your Nails Healthy
Besides working hard for us, our hands and feet are also exposed to a lot of dirt, moisture, and other pollutants that can build up under your nails and cause problems. Regular mani-pedi sessions remove dirt from under your nails and hard-to-reach places, thus keeping your nails strong and healthy. This in turn will reduce your chances of getting an infection.
Exfoliates Dead Cells
The build-up of dead cells leads to hardened skin or calluses, which not only look unsightly but also could cause pain if not taken care of properly. Exfoliating with a gentle scrub and vigorously cleaning using shampoo and a stiff brush will slough off dead cells, thus leaving behind smooth and even skin.
Ensures Soft and Smooth Skin
After exfoliating dead cells to reveal clear and smooth skin, your beautician will gently massage your hands and feet with a moisturizing lotion to leave them feeling soft. Massaging a hydrating lotion deep into your skin helps soothe and soften it for hours after your treatment.
Relieves Stress
Listen to some soothing music during your mani-pedi treatment, and you will drift away from your troubles as a skilled beautician will work on your tired hands and feet. Soaking them in warm water infused with essential oils and bath salts along with getting a gentle massage will help you relax and be at peace.
These treatments improve blood flow to the hands and feet. They also relieve any aches or pains, nourish and hydrate the skin. The hands and feet are frequently abused. These parts of the body are exposed to all kinds of weather, activities, chemicals, dust, pollution, and so on. They work tirelessly and should be cared for to prevent any health complications. Give them the care they need and get mani-pedi to give them a treat!
