Why you should get a pedicure
Walking is full of hidden benefits, so it’s not surprising that regular treatments like pedicures can be beneficial. These toe treatment appointments can help you keep your health at a healthier level, helping to relieve stress and headaches. According to an article in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, people who get a full foot massage every month can see a decrease in feelings of aches and pains. Claire Margolies, a podiatrist and writer for We Wore What, explained, “Pedicures can be better for a lot of reasons. In the best case scenario, the treatment can improve circulation and tone the muscles around the top of the toes. “Pedicures and other foot treatments tend to be concentrated at the heel, heels and the base of the foot. It’s important to remember that regular foot treatments don’t harm your joints, so long as you’re getting them in moderation. Julie Wyndy, a plastic surgeon and cosmetic surgeon, explained, “The foot is a circular part of the body with the heel squarely facing forward, but in arches of most people, the point at which the arch of the toes are lined up with the heel is at an angle. This can give women a lot of foot-skin tension that causes irritation. I spoke to a podiatrist and she said, “Cold lasers can produce at least temporary relief, as they cause the skin surrounding the foot to loosen up and break down.” “You should begin yourpedicure by dousing the hands with warm water and then use a long mask, such as Applied Nutrition Gel or Thermoplastic gel gloves, to protect your palms from damaging your skin and help block the pores. Wyss told me, “Taking a hand breather may actually allow circulation to reduce the inflammation in the joints, so people don’t need to go in for an acute amount of treatment. If your foot’s feeling a bit sore in the extremities then you can increase the pressure as you’re walking by gripping a palm of your hand. Dannine Worthenberger takes care of all the details – from the curling session (free), to facial massage, top coat (for a special effect), waxing, lotion treatment (for body), night stand (for overnight) and restorative cream (for post-shave post-cleanse and nightcap). Top tip: “Use a mini microscope to check whether your nail has any polish on it, as that will show what you need to remove before you can even begin your manicure. There are many full face treatments that can help achieve gorgeous hair, whether it’s that curled finish and well-groomed ‘do or the tangle free look. First Aid Beauty’s £7.99 chemical peel is ideal for post face treatment and that is why it’ll leave your skin looking supple.
Are nails this trendy? Nails that make a fashion statement
Considering nail stickers are starting to seem like a natural extension of signature nail art, it may seem like a missed opportunity to see how manicures could positively impact on the way we feel about ourselves. “If people start to wear their own insecurities on their nails, they are less likely to think negatively of themselves, it has been the case at my office and for myself,” she says. “Being able to view our nails as a complete system to ‘make’ our personality rather than looking at them purely from a surface that may not reflect our true self-esteem is a big boost for us,” says Victoria Fuller, of South London nail bar The Pelham Group. “We are far more able to exercise our positive sides when we can bring some interest to our manicure and therefore, treat our nails as art.” “To look your best, using a nail polish underneath the ‘do’ (remake) can be a turn-off. But try to project a vibe of positive self-image by applying it to your nails on you as opposed to the idea of your ordinary, everyday ‘do’, and it will make youfeel even more polished and beautiful,” suggestsAlex Robinson, co-founder of Australasia’s first manicure company, Nespresso Nails. Get your nails professionally done – if you’re comfortable – using an almost any coloured colour from their ready-to-wear collection as your base and topping up with a add-on metallic or pearl polish.
