All girls and women strive to maintain their beauty as long as possible. Therefore, they devote a lot of time to the face and body, performing various care procedures. But what about the hands? Do they really need nothing but a manicure? Hands should also be taken care of, because it is with them that you can easily determine the age of a lady. Therefore, a procedure such as SPA manicure was created specifically for them.
What is it
SPA-manicure is a hand care that includes several stages. After the procedure, the skin becomes soft and velvety, and the nail plate is strengthened. In the salon SPA-manicure, the master can do quite a long time, about two hours, but the result is worth it. Therefore, the procedure is becoming more popular. There are several varieties:
- classic spa manicure;
- Japanese;
- hot;
- almond.
Each has its own distinctive features, but all of them are aimed at supporting the beauty of your hands and allowing you to relax and enjoy this procedure. The technologies for their implementation are not very different from each other, the main difference is the compositions that are used to perform SPA-services.
How do they do it
There is no specific technology for performing spa manicures. Each master has his own approach. He can add, for example, massage or body wrap for greater effect. Therefore, SPA-sets for manicure may vary.
- First, the master removes the varnish.
- Then he treats his hands with an antiseptic and degreases his nails.
- Using a file, the master gives the nails the desired shape. Then, using a special liquid, softens the cuticle and pushes it with a stick. All movements should be unhurried and smooth.
- Then you immerse your pens in a special solution consisting of water, salt and various essential oils.
- Next, the master proceeds to peeling. With massage movements, he rubs a scrub in his skin, which removes the stratum corneum.
- After peeling, the master applies a moisturizing and nourishing cream to his hands.
- Then he polishes his nails and applies the main coating. If desired, can perform a beautiful design.
SPA manicure should be accompanied by slow and smooth movements, you should relax and enjoy this procedure.
