Brazilian manicure - a new word in the nail industry

Is the Brazilian manicure an innovation that eliminated the shortcomings of any other types of manicure, or is it another way of selling all the same cosmetics and tools? Let's try to understand.

What is a Brazilian manicure

To make a conventional trim or unedged manicure, you need: a bath, salt, scrub and hand cream, a cuticle softener, cuticle oil, saws, nail scissors, towels, and a lot of time. The need to simplify the procedure for the manicure has long been ripe! Probably, therefore, a simple and effective Brazilian manicure became popular not only in its homeland, it is added to its price more beauty salons around the world, although the reason for its appearance in Brazil was a necessity. Local craftsmen can not afford to spend much water, so they invented this new nail care.

The Brazilian manicure allows you to rid yourself of a mountain of cosmetic accessories and make your hands and nails beautiful much quicker and easier.

A disposable kit containing special gloves, a saw blade and a cuticle stick is all that is needed to make a Brazilian manicure. You can buy these accessories in specialized stores. Kits usually provide instructions, so they can be easily used at home.

One procedure will cost about 500-800 rubles. It may seem that it is expensive for one-time care, but if you take into account the enormous amount of money and time that it saves, the price is perceived quite affordable. In fact, the Brazilian manicure is a spa care that allows for intensive care for the skin of the hands or feet. According to the recommendations of experts, the Brazilian manicure should be done once in 5-7 days.

What equipment for manicure in this technique is necessary? None. Only a kit is needed, which includes only three things:

1. Disposable gloves or socks. Many women, wishing to strengthen the effect of hand cream, wear cotton gloves. Gloves for the Brazilian manicure are filled with a unique, completely natural composition. It perfectly moisturizes, softens the dry cuticle or calluses, has a disinfecting effect, soothes irritated skin.

2. One-time nail file.

3. A disposable stick for the removal of the cuticle.

Pros and cons of the Brazilian manicure

The only downside is that this is a gentle procedure. With a very neglected, rough and overgrown cuticle, one will not be enough. Pruning cuticles, sawing side rollers, thorough polishing of the nails will still be necessary. But, pay attention, the procedure of the Brazilian manicure can be an excellent base for cutting cuticles, so soft and elastic it becomes. So this "minus" is even hardly a drawback. In the rest, the Brazilian manicure is characterized only by the advantages:

1. Security. Nothing needs to be cut, which means that the risk of cuts, inflammation, infection or just reddening of the cuticle, which appears in many women after the cuticle manicure, is minimized. Remouvers for unedged manicure contain aggressive ingredients that can adversely affect the skin, cause flaking and even gluing of the nails. With the Brazilian manicure exclusively natural, soft, maximally neutral ingredients are used. The kit is disposable, which not only guarantees high hygiene, but also saves time: you do not need to clean, clean and disinfect various instruments after the procedure.

2. It is done simply and quickly, it can be carried out at home with comfort. For ordinary manicure, you need baths, water, nail brushes, a wash basin, a towel. With a set for the Brazilian manicure or pedicure, you can easily find a job on the couch and watch your favorite movie. The cream filling disposable gloves and socks has a neutral, barely perceptible smell, which is especially appreciated by people prone to allergies.

3. Efficiency. It's not entirely true to call glove filler a cream, because, in fact, it's an intense mask. Its effect on the skin of the hands is comparable to the effect of paraffin therapy: elastic and soft skin, with wrinkled fine lines, hands that do not need daily moisturizing lotions.

Ingredients

What miraculous means fill gloves for the Brazilian manicure and why do they so favorably affect the cuticle and nails?

1. Allantoin is one of the drugs recommended as an antiseptic by the World Health Organization. It softens, exfoliates and at the same time promotes cell regeneration.

2. Urea - softens and moisturizes, exfoliates horny cages, promotes penetration of active components into the skin.

3. Gammamelis and tea tree oil are effective natural antiseptics. Extract of shrub gammamelis softens the skin and strengthens the walls of the vessels. Tea tree - no less popular in cosmetology ingredient, its oil has such powerful bactericidal properties that it is successfully used in medicine.

4. Keratin and calcium - the structure-forming components of nails. They strengthen and restore the nail plate.

5. Polymer R236 is a formula developed in one Brazilian laboratory. It makes the nails even, matte, brightens them, protects them from the effects of varnish.

And the cream contains bisabolol, which is used to care for sensitive skin, and auxiliary substances, whose purpose is to ensure the best effect of the above ingredients.

As you can see, the composition has both unique components and those ingredients that are less concentrated in many hand creams: allantoin, basabolol, calcium, etc.

How to perform a Brazilian manicure

It can be done both on natural, and on the advanced nails. Before the procedure, the nails are treated with antiseptic, the cuticle is slightly moved away so that the cream can cover it well. While the nails are dry, they can be filed and shaped to the desired shape.

Then dress up gloves with cream. Gloves are very elastic and wide enough, they need to be pressed against the skin, giving special attention to the area around the nails. It's easy to do on your own. You can tighten the cream to the cuticle for its more intense moistening stroking movements from the base of the fingers to the nails. As you can see, the moisturizer envelops the hands completely, including the area under the fingernails, and the pads of the fingers - these areas are not so often affected by the hand cream, which is why they dry up and coarsen.

Keep gloves for 5-7 minutes. Then you can start to treat the nails. It is not necessary to remove gloves. You can simply cut off their ends with scissors and, while you push and clean the cuticle with a wooden stick, the skin of the hands gets additional nutrition. Then gloves are removed and hands are massaged. It is not necessary to wash off water, during the massage the cream will be absorbed.

As you can see, the Brazilian manicure does not presuppose anything overdrawn. However, simplicity is exactly what many modern women need, who value their time.
