Benefits Of Getting A Manicure

Softens rough edges of hands

Hands are among the first parts of the body people notice when they look at someone's face. And, if your hands are too rough, people will notice and probably comment on it. A well-cared-for hand is an attractive hand.

A well-cared-for hand is also a functional hand. People who work with their hands (such as carpenters, plumbers, electricians and others) often have rough hands due to all the tools and materials they use on a daily basis.
 

But even people who don't work with their hands often encounter things in their daily lives (e.g., doing the dishes) that can cause hand skin to become rough.

A good way to soften rough edges of hands is to gently wash them with a soft cloth or paper towel after you remove any kind of surface dirt.

Be careful not to scrub your hands too hard or use harsh soaps or detergents. Doing so can irritate your skin and make your hands red and inflamed.

Improves appearance

It has been said that if you have long, beautiful hands, men will notice them and go weak at the knees. But, according to another old adage, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

That means someone who is seeing your hands for the first time might not be impressed, while someone who sees them every day will find them absolutely stunning.

It really doesn't matter what other people think, of course. What matters is what you think about yourself and how you feel about your own beauty. However, there is one thing that does seem to be true: Long-time beauty experts agree that having and maintaining healthy-looking nails is a good way to enhance your appearance and improve your self-esteem.

How often should you get a manicure? As often as necessary, but at least once a month.
 

Removes dead skin cells which can lead to infections

As your skin naturally sheds dead cells, small particles of skin can become trapped under your nail beds. This buildup of dead skin cells can cause an infection or irritant reaction which can lead to other problems such as ingrown hairs and discolored nails. That's why it's important to keep your hands clean and free of dirt and debris.

To do this, simply wash your hands with soap and water several times a day. Be sure to scrub under your nails as well.

A professional manicure removes the dead skin cells which can build up under your nails. This allows your nail beds to breathe and prevents any irritation that can lead to infections or other

problems.
 

Leaves hands feeling clean and fresh

Manicures refresh and cleanse your hands. This is especially important if you work with grease or oil or if you are a lab technician.

You see, when you neglect your hands they tend to get grimy and this affects your overall appearance. Over time, this can cause cracking, flaking and chipping of the cuticle. All of these things lead to unsightly spots and uneven nails.

Also, if you have long fingernails, they can become dirty from handling everything from envelopes to paperwork. Neglect also leads to ingrown and irritated cuticles. These things cause your nails to crack, separate, and grow in an unnatural direction. Eventually, this can lead to infections.
 

Improves self-esteem

One benefit of getting a manicure is that it makes you feel good about yourself. It shows you are taking care of yourself and taking some time out to look good. It gives you a sense of pride and accomplishment.

Improves circulation

A good manicure increases circulation to the hands. This in turn means better skin tone and a more youthful appearance.
