What exactly is a Hand and Foot Scrub?

The first thing that we need to do is to describe a hand and foot scrub before we move on to its advantages. A scrub is, in simple terms, an exfoliating technique utilized in order to remove the dead cells and dirt off the skin. Sea salt, sugar, or finely ground pumice is typically used to make hand and foot scrubs in addition to a variety of hard to find oils (like coconut, almond or olive oil) or butter (shea or cocoa butter) which preserves the skin after the scrubbing.

As part of a regular mani-pedi at Nailsalon Malvern, pummel the feet or hands with the exfoliating solution by applying it in a circular motion, and finally rinse it off, making the skin soft and revitalized. This is a procedure that does not only beautify both the hands and the feet but also enhances the health of the skin and relaxation.

The Advantages Of Doing Hand and Foot Scrubs Regularly

Restoring Skin Balance

A careful hand and foot scrub, first and foremost, ensures smooth and soft skin. Skin naturally contains many layers including dirt, dead skin cells, and oil, which get exposed or absorbed during the course of day to day life. Grime and the likes can cause rough patches, dryness and dull skin, particularly in such areas which experience a lot of friction such as the hands and the feet and also the elbows.

To uncover the skin beneath that is smoother and softer, one must slough off the rougher upper layer that is made of dead skin cells by regularly exfoliating. At Nailsalon Malvern, we use scrubs made with sugar or sea salt combining natural ingredients to give your feet and hands hydration, softness and a silk-like smoothness and on top of that the unsightly skin texture is improved while restoring the skins appearance as well.

Enhanced Nail Health

The impact on nail health from the exfoliation of the skin in one’s hands and toes can be remarkable. If you want to have healthy nails, it is important to take care of the foundation which comprises the nails, cuticle and the skin around them. Couple of important benefits of hand and foot scrubs:

• Exfoliation of Top Layers: Routine scrubbing around the cuticles prevents build up while ensuring that the region is supple. This resultant hysteria not only prevents painful hangnails but also infections to fingernails. This lotion moisturizes and softens the cuticles when applied which makes them much easier to push or cut during the manicure or pedicure.
• Nail Growth: Since scrubs have a more nourishing effect on the entire structure providing all the important nutrients to the body, this improves blood circulation making the growth of nails quicker and better.
• Catalyzes Prevention of Ingrown Toenails: The chances of having ingrown toenails can also be decreased by pushing back the cuticles and scrubbing the feet, particularly the tips of the feet. Additionally, it becomes simpler to locate and fix possible problems by softening the skin.

With a systematic approach by including hand and foot scrubs in one’s daily regimen would guarantee the optimum development conditions for the nails.

Hydration and Moisturization

Most hand and foot scrubs contain oils like coconut or jojoba that hydrate while resurfacing the skin. For people with dry or cracked skin (particularly during winter months), exfoliation can work wonders.

• Moisture Locking: Post-scrubbing skin is more able to soak up the effects of a wax/sealer. The oils found in the scrub can assist in this procedure since they leave a small film on the skin that protects it from moisture loss when applying moisturizing products after a manicure or pedicure at Nailsalon Malvern.
• Eliminating Dry Patches: It is normal to have dry patches on feet (especially heels), but a good scrub can remove the dead skin and restore softness. If you have dry, cracked heels, regular use of a scrub can stop the formation of rough patches that cause more discomfort.

As with winter skin and sun damage on during summer months, scrubbing is key to healing and adding moisture to your skin, so that your hands and feet feels great.

Enhanced Relaxation and Better Blood Circulation

Now, scrubbing the feet and hands is done for the skin but it actually helps in blood circulation as well as in relaxing the person. The scrubbing motion means that the skin which is being massaged gets the flow of blood, nutrients and oxygen to the “distant places”. This is especially useful for the people who remain seated in one position for long hours or stand up most of the time in the day.

• Relaxation: At the same time, a person relies on her foot or hand scrub for some relaxation at the Nailsalon Malvern. The tension in muscles is loosening, and the mind is calming down, which is similar to benefits gotten from a full body massage. In fact, the hand scrub combined with a relaxing mani-pedi transforms a person's need to care for her hands to a moment of pleasure that eases the stress and anxiety.
• Stress Reduction: Similarly, for a busy day, with a stressful head, the calmness achieved through a foot or hand scrub lowers the cortisol level and stress so that after the day, one feels re-energized.

But the impacts of the scrubs are not only for the surface of the skin, but they also have physical counterparts to a person’s brain as well.

Eliminates Foot Odor And Other Skin Disorders

The sweat and bacteria on the foot bacteria can cause unpleasant scents, infections and even fungal diseases. The build up of dead skin can additionally worsen conditions such as athletes foot and plantar warts. Regularly scrubbing, cleaning and exfoliating the skin helps prevents bad odor and infection of the skin.

• Foot Odor: A buildup of dead skin makes the feet smelly. Regular scrubbing removes the dead skin reducing the chances of the feet becoming malodorous while also keeping the feet looking good.
• Fungal Prevention: Dead skin may give the microorganisms an area to thrive therefore - removing it helps eliminate a surface for fungi and bacteria to survive. Regular foot scrubs regularly prevent the microorganisms from thriving, thus maintaining healthy feet.

Moreover, exfoliation also assists the skin in absorbing any antic fungal or antibacterial creams easily.
