It’s not a secret for anyone that exactly hands are the visiting card of any woman.
They can tell a lot about character, habits and lifestyle. And if once the word "Beloruchka" was considered almost an insult, today delicate smooth skin and healthy nails do not indicate laziness at all, but about proper hand care. To do this, in the arsenal of a modern woman there are many various means, one of which is the correct manicure. Let's figure out what is the difference between the main types of manicure, to choose the one that suits you.
CLASSIC MANICURE
Classic manicure begins with disinfection. Then the nails are given the desired shape. Next, the hands are placed in a bath with a special solution to soften the cuticle. This process is called “maceration,” and the manicure method itself is called “wet.” The softened cuticle is removed, therefore, another name for this type of manicure is “trimmed”. A nourishing cream is applied to the hands, the nails are polished and varnished.
EUROPEAN MANICURE
In Europe, preference is given to "dry" manicure. Its main difference is that the cuticle is not cut, but pushed back with a wooden stick, after applying a softening cream. After covering the nails with varnish, a special oil is applied that slows down the growth of the cuticle. But if with a classic manicure the effect is immediately visible, then for the European one several procedures are required.
HARDWARE MANICURE
A variety of European is a hardware manicure.In this case, the cuticle does not soften, but is removed using a special machine with a rapidly rotating removable diamond nozzle in the form of a ball. Additional nozzles serve to give the nails the desired shape and for polishing.
SPA MANICURE
SPA manicure is a comprehensive hand care, including peeling, massage and deep hydration. In the cold season, paraffin therapy is additionally recommended. A nourishing cream is applied to the hands and they are immersed in heated paraffin. Then they put on their hands special bags and terry mittens. After 15-20 minutes, packages containing paraffin residues are removed. As a result, the water balance is restored, the skin is cleansed, nourished and moisturized.
HAND CARE
To make your hands always look perfect, a single visit to the nail salon is not enough. Hands require constant care. In winter, they should never be supercooled. From prolonged work at the computer and heavy bags, veins often begin to swell, so try to evenly distribute the load and regularly do finger exercises with your hands above your head. This will ensure the outflow of blood.
