With everyday activities taking their toll on our nails, our hands and feet could use a routine TLC. Even within our hectic schedules, there’s always time to take a little “me” time, and nothing does it better than a professional mani-pedi. Beautifying our finger tips is just part of the perk of a mani-pedi; there are plenty of health benefits for getting them too.

1. A Mani-Pedi Keeps Nails Healthy

During any average day, the nails on your feet and hands are exposed to a plethora of dirt, debris and pollutants that can jeopardize the health of your nails. This dirt ends up beneath your nails where it’s hard to clean without focused attention. A weekly mani-pedi ensures that you’re not harboring germs and other harmful substances on your hands and feet.

When your salon aesthetician does a mani-pedi, they aren’t just trying to make you look gorgeous. They also monitor for signs of infection for your safety and theirs. When you get a weekly mani-pedi, you get close up attention to areas, especially on your feet, that ordinarily wouldn’t receive such intense focus.

3. Smoothes Callouses

When you get a weekly mani-pedi, your salon aesthetician smoothes callouses that can become unsightly or even painful if left untreated.
