One of the most interesting procedures today is a spa manicure.

Spa manicure is a complex method for the care of nails and skin of hands, which involves the use of natural cosmetics and essential oils. In fact, it is an aromatherapy procedure with a massage or a complete hand care system, which softens and moisturizes the skin of the hands, filling it with useful substances.

To date, there is no rigid spa manicure scheme, which is why it would be wrong to call one technique the only correct one. As for the salon procedure, in each case the scheme of complex manipulations will differ, since each master in most cases has his own technique with obligatory successive steps. However, in general, care will be aimed at improving the condition of nails and hands.

During the comprehensive relaxation care master removes hand fatigue and by enriching the skin with necessary substances gives them a well-groomed appearance. Today, spa manicure has become known as healing. It does not require haste, does not injure the skin, does not irritate it. A distinctive feature of this care is the duration: it takes more time than when visiting the salon for the usual design with coloring and design.

Spa manicure may be different. Today, experts have identified several of its versions: Japanese, hot, almond. Each type has its own characteristics. For example, the Japanese method involves the use of exclusively natural products. This is mainly beeswax and suede, which is replaced by nail files. The technique is unique in that it is distinguished by a gentle effect on nails and skin.

This complex care depends on the condition of the skin and is aimed at ridding it of even microcracks on the nail plates. At the request of the client, the mineral composition or aroma oil is applied to the nails, they are moistened with a special serum. Strengthening is carried out in three stages: a mineral mixture, a paste of pearl chips and calcium, the composition with silicon. Polishing plates perform sawing, created from the skin of the calf.

Massage in this technique is performed not by hands, but by a special bag in which hot sand, medicinal herbs and oils are put. Brushes treated with healing ointments. If desired, the massage can be hot or cold. As for the variety of hot spa manicure, it is cheaper than the Japanese method and takes less time. A feature of this technology is the use of warm lotion. It is heated to 40 degrees and soaked in his fingers.

When contacting the beauty salon, the master examines hands and selects a set of necessary measures. Since the output of the woman’s hands should look perfect and healthy, the specialist will pay special attention to the nails.

The beginning of the complex care will be washing the hands and removing the old coating (if available). After this, the master will surely disinfect the skin, and the nail plates themselves will be antiseptic. However, he will not pour a lot of money on the skin and especially the nails, because in the composition of any antiseptic there are moisturizing ingredients, and they can weaken the adhesion to the decorative lacquer, which is usually used during spa manicure.

After processing the hands, the master proceeds to give the nails an identical shape and length, relying on the desire of the client and the individual characteristics of the nail bed. For example, an experienced specialist will always offer the shape of a regrown edge, which is a mirror image of the nail hole, which will balance the shape and relieve the nails of visual gravity. Also, the master can advise the client one of the fashionable forms and choose the optimal length, which today is no more than 7 mm of the growing edge. The specialist uses files with a different abrasive, not forgetting to correct the edge with a small nail file.

After shaping proceed to remove the cuticle. A special gel is applied to the skin around the nail to remove overgrown skin. This drug is characterized by the ability to instantly soften the skin, due to which it is often used in express manicure. This tool quickly softens the skin and prepares it for painless removal. Usually in the cabin using the drug on lactic or fruit acid.

After applying the gel, the hands are steamed in water with the addition of sea salt and essential oils. Use warm water not lower than 35 degrees. After 4–5 minutes, they wipe their hands and start scrubbing using an orange stick. The cuticle is removed, the dead skin is removed on each nail. Especially "terry" places adjust with scissors.

After that, a scrub is applied to the skin, the task of which is to remove dead skin cells of the skin of the hands. It is rubbed with delicate movements, while performing a light hand massage. Usually, this procedure is carried out until the composition is completely absorbed; it is this that allows for maximum visual effect of skin rejuvenation. In addition to cleansing the cells, massage helps to improve blood circulation.

The final stage of care is the application of a transparent or solid shade on the nails. This step allows you to give your nails a more healthy look.

In addition to basic procedures, masters can offer customers an additional wrap or even paraffin baths for hands. Also, a comprehensive care can include a variety of nutritional masks or herbal extracts.

It would seem that every woman can master simple manipulations. However, you need to know the nuances of specialized drugs. For example, a gel for removing the cuticle differs by the type of exposure to the skin. Regardless of the advertisement of the manufacturer, such a composition can not be kept too long, as this can provoke skin irritation, or even burns. Otherwise, you can repeat the standard technique, which is used in the cabin.

To do this or that procedure at home is possible using natural preparations made from fresh products. This will save on expensive cosmetic preparations without losing the quality of the means used.Along the way, you can use face masks or hair, which is also convenient and helps out with a lack of free time. Of course, the first times may seem difficult, because you have to learn the rules of high-quality nail treatment. But then a woman can be proud of the final result.

As for the type of spa manicure, each of us can independently determine what she likes exactly. If desired, you can buy a ready-made kit for comprehensive care or pick up tools separately. For example, today on sale you can find nail files made of suede and calf leather. You can perform both edging and uncut (European) manicure.

If the treatment process uses a composition for removing the cuticle (remuver), it is important to completely get rid of its remnants after cleansing the horny skin. Only after that you can apply a nourishing or soothing cream.

Finally it is worth noting that for applying a decorative coating will have to get rid of excess fat on the nails and the skin around them. Otherwise, no coverage will last for a day. To eliminate the fat content, you can use a dehydrator. However, if the cream on the nails is too much, you will have to wash your hands with soap. As for the application of hybrid varnish, after careful care it is better to allow the skin to rest for at least a day. Gel polish does not hold on soaked and oiled nails.
