Perfectly Pedicured Toes

So here I am looking at my perfectly pedicured toes and thinking to myself what was my life like before I became an esthetician? Well for starters I didn't check people's eyebrows out before I even knew their name. I didn't exfoliate the dog out of my face body and feet! I looked at waxing as a painful way of being lazy about not shaving. I never clipped my cuticles off and I never put anti aging masks on my face. I lived a much simpler life before it all started. But to be honest I love vomiting at the sight of body hair or at bushy eyebrows (sorry everyone but its true it happens hair grows and crazy sometimes) or jump for joy when my client has some awesome zits I get to squeeze away at. So I know my job is a mix between a gyno, massage therapist and a dermatologist but I love it and my perfectly pedicured toes.

*disclaimer those are not my toes how I would love to have that perfect olive tone skin but ended up with pasty sun burned prone non tanning almost see through skin!

*I tried this eye cream about a year ago and have loved it! I usually wake up with really puffy eyes and this has been the only that has really helped it. This cream also has helped with my dark circles and tiny little wrinkle lines. You can get it at any department store that sells Clinique.

Question #7-
Amy Marie said...What is the best way to keep from getting hang nails and dry cuticles? Especially in the winter? I have the worst nails right now and I am wondering if there is a secret I am missing out on Thanks! Amy

Amy thanks for the question. Lots of people deal with dry skin and nails during this time. Try some of these tips!

First take a look at your diet...
Try taking fish oil capsules which are essential fatty acids which help improve your moisture content for skin and nails...a vitamin E supplement will help too
drink extra amounts of water to help get rid of toxins and hydrate yourself

Next look at things your do or don't do daily...
don't expose your hands to hot water or for a long amount of time
try not using harsh soaps that strip your skins natural oils. Look for a soap with vitamin E in it or extra moisturizers that won't dry out your hands
rub olive (jojoba,almond etc) oil on them
Bag Balm or any sort of hang cream (like burts bees) or cuticle oil that contain lanolin
Also try sleeping with these creams or vaseline on them
Don't use any nail products with formaldehyde or toluene in them and don't over use nail polish remover esp around the cuticles.

Last if your skin nails or cuticles have serve dryness itchenss or redness I would recommend seeing a dermatologist for a perscription!
