Why a Manicure is Good For Nail Health

Manicures aren’t just about polish and design – they’re also about nail health! Your nails reflect your overall health and beauty, so it is crucial that they’re taken care of as best possible. At Avalon Spa & Salon in McAllen, we have found that treating yourself to an occasional manicure is both luxurious and beneficial to both hands and nails alike.

No matter your choice of manicure color or style, regular nail care and maintenance is vital to the health of both nails and cuticles. Regular use of darker or heavily pigmented colors may cause discoloration on nails that normally look yellowish or even grey – using a clear base coat can reduce this problem significantly.

Manicures provide another benefit by helping to clean out dirt, dead skin or bacteria from under your fingernails and nail beds. Doing this regularly will often prevent fungal or other infections from developing underneath them and keeping your nails in a proper shape to ensure they don’t touch skin or clothing.

Manicures involve cleaning the nail and cuticle area before applying an oil or cream to keep them moisturized, strong, and healthy. Many manicures also include massage for hands and fingers which not only helps your nails look their best, but can be an excellent way to reduce stress as well.

A manicure will also protect your nails from further damage by filling any chips or cracks, keeping them looking their best, and potentially helping prevent further damage. Plus, these appointments often come complete with the application of color and polish for a stylish finish!

At the conclusion of every manicure session, all tools used should be thoroughly disinfected to protect both nail and skin health. Failing to do this could result in infection spreading.

As well as caring for your nails from within, eating healthily is also key in improving their appearance. Incorporating more fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and fish into your diet to get all of the essential vitamins and minerals needed for strong, beautiful talons. Receiving regular manicures will keep your talons looking their best so you can show them off with pride – don’t neglect your nail’s health by not getting one done regularly – book an appointment for one today at Avalon Spa & Salon today for even better results – you won’t regret it!
