Male manicure in the modern world is becoming increasingly popular. And he really deserves special attention. After all, the skin on the hands of men has some features - it is slightly rougher and thicker than the female (most often), the cuticle overgrows quickly, so caring for it requires more attention and time. Caring for appearance - now the lot is not only female. Men also do not deny themselves the pleasure of professionally caring for their own hands, especially since this procedure is useful both from a hygienic and aesthetic side.
Men's manicure has its own specifics, which makes it significantly different from women's. Many salons carry out this procedure completely without using any tweezers, preferring to use special softening creams, scrubs and pumice.
Men's manicure consists of a whole range of services for the care of rough skin around the nail plate, smoothing the edges of the nail and polishing the surface, soft peeling (cleansing) the skin of the hands of dead skin particles, and, finally, deep nourishing and moisturizing the skin of the hands (a pleasant relaxing massage ) If desired, specialists can apply a transparent varnish or colorless enamel on the nails. Many modern varnishes and coatings are not only completely invisible, but also contain useful vitamins that nourish the nail plates - this protects the nail and looks natural.
But if you do not have enough time to visit various beauty salons, then there is an option to do it yourself, making a manicure at home. You just need to stock up with the appropriate manicure tools and patience.
Male manicure: how to do at home
In fact, hygiene is the main rule. Hands should be washed exclusively in warm water, because too hot or cold water can cause unwanted peeling of the skin and even make it rough. It is better to use soap that contains glycerin or liquid soap. This also helps to avoid excessive dryness of the hands, which is caused by hard water. After washing, you should always wipe your hands very carefully, preferably with a soft towel. These rules obey not only female, but also male manicure.
It’s not enough just to trim your nails gently. In order that they do not cling and do not flake, it is necessary to use a nail file, which should only be an emery type, with silver, Teflon or other coating. Metal files violate the structure of the nail, creating small cracks leading to its fragility. You need to file with smooth movements in the direction from the sides to the center, while not very grinding the corners - this eliminates the problem of nail ingrowth.
If you want to achieve perfection in your manicure, then the next step should be a warm bath, which will make the skin around the nails soft and soft. Sea water is added to the water, which has a calming effect. After the hands are sufficiently steamed, a special softening gel is applied to the surface of the cuticle, and after a couple of minutes, the cuticle is removed with a natural orange stick and gently clean the surface of the nail.
In men's manicure, the main emphasis is on polishing nails. To do this, it is better to have a polishing file. For the best effect, first you need to rub some nourishing cream into the skin of both hands and nails to achieve a noble soft shine. You can still cover your nails with ordinary transparent varnish. Although in this case they will shine more intensely, which is not acceptable for all men.
Perhaps most of the strong half of humanity believes that it’s almost impossible to do man’s manicure itself, because it’s difficult. But actually it is not. And men who at least once did a manicure can no longer deny themselves this aesthetic and hygienic pleasure.
