Tezzbuzz Desk- After manicure and pedicure, the skin of hands and feet looks soft and clean. Removal of dead skin can also make the skin tone appear brighter. But if the skin is not taken proper care of after treatment, problems like irritation, dryness and tanning may occur. In such a situation, it is important to take special care of some things after manicure-pedicure.

If you also get manicure-pedicure done at home or in a parlor, then know which mistakes should be avoided after this.

Do not walk barefoot after pedicure

During pedicure, dead skin is removed by scrubbing the skin of the feet. After this the skin may become soft and sensitive for some time. In such a situation, immediately avoid walking barefoot in dusty places. Wear clean footwear while leaving the house. If there is a cut or irritation on the skin of the feet, take special care until it heals. Even after manicure, it is important to protect hands from dirty water and dust.

Don't forget to apply sunscreen

Often people apply sunscreen on the face, but ignore the hands and feet. Do not make this mistake after manicure-pedicure. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen to exposed areas of your hands and feet before going out in the sun. This helps in reducing the risk of tanning and skin damage caused by UV rays.

Avoid applying henna immediately

After manicure-pedicure, scrubbing and other treatments are done on the skin. If the skin has become sensitive, applying henna immediately may cause irritation or allergy. Therefore, avoid applying henna if there is redness, irritation or cuts on the skin. Especially if you are allergic to henna or any cosmetic product, it would be better to do a patch test first.

Don't skip moisturizer

It is very important to keep the skin hydrated after manicure-pedicure. Scrubbing and use of hot water can reduce the moisture of the skin, due to which hands and feet start looking dry. After treatment, apply light moisturizer or cream. You can use thick moisturizing cream as per need on the heels of the feet. This will help in maintaining skin moisture.

Avoid contact with excess water and chemicals

Immediately after manicure-pedicure, avoid repeatedly immersing your hands in water or using cleaners containing strong chemicals. Especially if you have applied nail polish or gel treatment to your nails, follow the after-care instructions. Wear gloves while washing utensils and use mild soap to clean hands. Instead of rubbing the skin vigorously, clean it with light hands.

Important tips for skin care

• Keep the skin clean and moisturized after manicure-pedicure.
• Apply sunscreen on hands and feet while going out in the sun.
• Do not scrub if there is irritation or redness on the skin.
• Avoid biting or pulling nails and cuticles.
• If you are allergic to any product, stop using it.

Darkening of the skin after manicure-pedicure is not just due to lack of care. Tanning, irritation, allergy, infection or other skin problems can also be the reason for this. If skin color is continuously changing, itching or burning occurs, consult a dermatologist.
