Manicures are cosmetic treatments for the hands, and more specifically, the nails. The word for Manicures comes from the French ‘manucure’ which means ‘care of the hands’, and in turn this word originates from the latin words ‘manus’ which means hand and ‘cura’ which means care.
Today, manicures come in many different forms, from French manicures, to manicures that include small pictures or brightly coloured patterns and glitter on the nails. You can even give yourself home manicures using a number of shop-bought products. However, as manicures traditionally involves a ‘care of the hands’ as mentioned above, let us explore some of the hand care aspects of manicures, as well as discussing treatments given to care of nails.
When conducting manicures, Chesterfield customers will notice it is common practise to use creams and lotions to treat the hands and nails, and soften the skin. This can come in number of forms. Some manicures involve wax treatments, whereby the therapist will brush wax on to the hands and, after leaving it to dry, slowly flake off the dried-on wax. The wax benefits your skin and hands in several ways. Firstly, it helps the skin to retain the natural oils and moisture that it needs, and due to the uses we put out hands through, so often lacks. Wax treatments can also be effective to soften and sooth calluses and dry cracked skin. The brush, not only feels very relaxing as it glides over your hands, but it enables the wax to get onto every part of the skin, even if it is extremely dry and cracked.
Angelic nails, of Chesterfield, uses one of the most relaxing hand treatments around. Luxury manicures means that the cream needed to treat and moisturise during manicures is thickly lathered onto the hands. Using something first as a barrier to keep the cream or oils from being removed from the hand, heated mitts are then placed over the hands and left for a number of minutes. Allowing your hands to sit and feel this beautiful warmth, proves, not only beneficial to your hands, but has the power to relax the whole body. Tension, can be unwittingly held in the hands and our feet, and giving our hands this much needed therapy while having manicures, is multi-faceted.
During our manicures, our nails and our cuticles get bathed in these oils and creams, but once the skin on the hands is pampered, nails get an extra specific treatment. Cuticle treatment creams, as well as professional nail manicure tools, are used to increase the strength of the nail and nail bed, and then polishes, of your choice are applied.
