Читать книгу Professional Manicure and Pedicure - Rosie Watson - Страница 7

Having a manicure or pedicure these days is as popular as going for a coffee! In some cities it is unheard of to miss a nail appointment as the practice is now not merely a pampering treatment but a grooming necessity.

Our hands are used a great deal in communicating with others. We touch others with our hands and it is easy to make judgments on a person from the state of their hands and nails: bitten and they are stressed, pressurised and busy; too long and they have too much time to spare. Yellow nails scream out ill health, while dry hands suggest they do manual labour jobs and will be rough to touch. Why let people make assumptions before they have even spoken to you?

The hands and feet are known as body extremities and both these are prone to bad circulation and neglect. Feet can sometimes seem just that little too far away to reach and nail varnish takes longer to dry than we think we can afford! Physiologically feet need to be looked after well, especially as they support our whole body weight for many hours of the day, but hands, too, are in constant use and should be well looked after and regularly groomed. Investing a little time every week on our hands and feet makes all the difference.
