More Than Just Pretty Nails: The Real Benefits of Regular Manicures

It can be lovely to both admire and show off your nails after receiving a professional manicure. Whether you prefer the clean lines of a classic French manicure, subtle colors or bold designs, beautifully manicured nails can make you feel fabulous. But there are many other wonderful benefits of regular manicures beyond walking out of the salon with pretty nails.

Taking Care of Your Nails

Some women choose not to receive regular manicures because they feel that it is more of a luxury than a necessity. However, professional manicures actually provide your nails with the care they need to remain strong and healthy. Consider for a moment the work your hands have to do on a daily basis. Between typing, texting and various daily labor tasks, your hands do a lot. Just like with any other part of your body, there are certain things you can do to help keep your hands healthy, including moisturizing and protecting them. However, your nails require a bit more detailed attention in order to remain healthy.

Fingernails are made up of keratin, a protein that builds up in laminated layers when kept healthy. When the keratin layers in fingernails are not kept healthy they tend to become brittle and worn down, which can lead to uncomfortable and unattractive nails. Furthermore, whereas regular hand-washing and moisturizing can help keep your hands and nails clean and healthy on the surface, a professional manicure can clean and moisturize nails more deeply. They can also render important care to your cuticles, the small piece of skin that overlaps the crescent base of each nail. Cuticle care helps to push back extra skin and prevent it from becoming ragged or torn, which can sometimes lead to fungus or bacterial infections.

Fortunately, taking good care of your hands and nails with a professional manicure is an altogether wonderful experience, making it easy to indulge in on a regular basis. You can also customize your manicure with additional services, such as a paraffin wax treatment to improve moisture and suppleness. Manicures include a relaxing massage that will help to improve circulation and loosen tight, tired muscles. As with any other spa service, the time spent relaxing and recharging during a professional manicure can help one to reduce stress and become more focused and productive. And don’t forget, manicured nails can make a fashion statement, helping you look put together, professional, and confident.

Love,
