Manicures
- Leave time after the manicure to allow to dry!
-
Hands should be immediately dried after
washing them and a hand cream should be applied. A pump
despensers is a good idea to leave next to every basin
in your house.
-
Gloves should be worn to protect against
hot water, bleaches, detergents etc. They should also
be worn while doing jobs like gardening.
-
Hands should be protected from cold
weather by appling hand cream and wearing gloves.
If your hands are very dry, warm oil (almond or olive)
or hand cream plus the addition of a capsule of vitamin
E oil should be applied to the hands last thing at night.
Plain cotton gloves can be worn to bed to prevent staining
of the bed clothes.
-
Cuticles can be kept in good condition
by appling cuticle oil or cream to each nail nightly.
- Don't use your nails as tools
- Apply clear coat of nail varnish every day or other to
help prevent chipping of the varnish.
Pedicures
- Wear open toe shoe/sandles to prevent varnish smudging
- To prevent deformatives to the foot, toe or nails, shoes,
socks, tights of stockings should not be too tight.
- Feet washed daily will prevent infection and odours, ensure
they are dried thoroughly
-
To prevent infection-free, dry clean
feet. Socks should be changed daily and you should not
wear the same shoes two days in a row.
-
A 2.5cm (1 in) heel is healthy for
the feet. To prevent postural and arch problems your shoe
height should be no greater than 5cm (2 in).
