In the Land of the Rising Sun, where everything is customary to bring to perfection, they know a lot about the subtleties of female charm. And it, as is known, begins with impeccably well-groomed hands. Such a pleasant and effective procedure as the Japanese eco-manicure came to us very recently, but, nevertheless, has already managed to find fans and take a firm position in the list of salon services. What is the difference between a manicure in the Japanese style and that to which western women are accustomed?
Beauty, gifted by nature
Japanese manicure, like everything coming from this country - is not just a cosmetic procedure, but a whole philosophy. It implies a reverent attitude to the nail as to an independent body that breathes, feeds and painfully reacts to aggressive environmental factors. The main goal that the Japanese eco-manicure seeks is to restore the condition of the nail plate, improve the blood flow in the fingers, open the pores, saturate them with useful substances and "close" with the gloss procedure. In a word - to breathe life into marigolds. If you complain about brittleness, stratification and slow growth of the nail plate, the Japanese manicure will fix everything in just a few sessions. It is especially relevant after removing the nails, when the "native" nail plate, devoid of air and nutrition under the gel layer, is depleted.
A distinctive feature of the Japanese manicure is the use of exclusively natural materials and tools. In the hands of the master there will be no cold scissors or sharp spatulas - only delicate hypoallergenic products based on natural products.
Technology of Japanese manicure
The procedure for the restoration of marigolds is as follows:
- Diagnosis, during which the master examines your nails and selects an individual care program in accordance with their condition. If the nail plate is so exhausted that the slightest physical effect will harm it, the master recommends a preliminary restoration procedure - for a few days the marigold will need to be lubricated with special oil (for example, from a shark squalge). Only after this, you can proceed to the next stages of Japanese manicure technology.
- Disinfection and degreasing, which are designed to clean the fingers from the microscopic dust and microbes that piled in the pores. After the disinfectant, the handles are applied funds, based on rice milk, containing a complex of proteins - they both nourish and degrease nails.
- Humidification by applying serum, based on the extract of cucumber, and its wonderful properties were known to our grandmothers. Serum delicately moisturizes the skin and saturates it with antioxidants.
- Strengthen the nail plate with serums that contain pearl powder, rich in calcium. On the nail are also applied different coatings containing minerals and keratins, which stimulate the growth of marigolds and prevent them from breaking and breaking. For example, the ceramic coating "cement" the weak spots in the structure of the nail, the extract of ginseng restores the hydrolipid balance.
- Treatment of nails and cuticles, using a set of tools for Japanese manicure. It includes a rice and polishing block made of calfskin, as well as ceramic nail files and sticks of orange tree. Cuticles are removed with a special liquid and gel - they contain mineral components, lotus and vanilla seed oils, and seaweed extracts. The last step is polishing, after which every nail looks like laminated.
