Gentle and Supple!

Professional touch

Besides the regular manicure and pedicure packages, salons offer exfoliation and massages followed by packs and once in a while you do need this professional touch.

1) Paraffin treatment till date remains the best service offered for dry hands and feet. Paraffin wax is melted and your feet and hands are covered with the wax and cling film or foil paper for the moisturizer to penetrate deep into your skin. Some salons dip your hands and feet in the paraffin bath for twofold results. The heat from the paraffin helps absorb the moisturizers and promote healthier looking skin.

2) Salons also offer deep oil conditioning for hands and feet using a combination of rich oils like almond, jojoba, grape seed and olive oil. The treatment calls for a 10 minute soak in the oil followed by an extensive massage for deeper penetration.

3) Body butter wraps usually used for the whole body have been successful with hands and feet too. Massages with packs rich in avocado butter, Shea butter and coconut butter have shown deeper penetration and yielded silky soft hands and feet.

Caring for your hands and legs is a repeat process but not a difficult one. Whether you prefer homemade treatments or regular visits to the salon, pampering your hands and feet is essential not only to make them feel petal soft and look ethereally beautiful but also to keep them healthy.

While opting for a manicure pedicure service, ask your beauty expert for a moisturizing one. The basic procedure remains the same but the products used are a little different. This calls for soaking the feet and hands in mineral water infused with ingredients like peppermint, lavender etc. that help loosen the accumulated dead skin. This soak works extremely well for people with severe callous build up or hardened cuticle.

  • Apart from hereditary factors, dry skin is mostly the result of changing weather and poor diet. Summer or winter, regular use of sun protection lotion is extremely important to prevent drying, excessive tanning and wrinkles. Ensure your diet is rich in Vitamins A, B, C, D and E, calcium and zinc.
  • If you spend a lot of time in water – ensure you constantly moisturize.  A neglected cuticle can cause pain that could become unbearable due to excessive dryness. Ensure your moisturizer is aloe vera or beeswax based and rich in Vitamin-E. Shea butter based creams also are excellent moisturizers for dry hands and feet.
