Fish Pedicure and Manicure in Chennai


Fish doing Manicure and Pedicure in Chennai
Nowadays , all said and done, fish have started doing beauty therapies like Manicure and Pedicure for Chennaites at the Natural Unisex Salon and Spa.
 As per the owner of the beauty clinic, " the Doctor fish moving around in a tub of warm water, numerous small fish nibble at dead skin, leaving hands and feet shiny and smooth.

Deviating from the usual, a fish pedicure or manicure offers a unique ticklish and lively experience to those who indulge in it."

A normal pedicure is not an happy experiance, cleaning out dead cells and cracks sometimes hurts the customer. A fish pedicure  is really enjoyable because these fishes can nibble at only dead cells and they just cannot eat any live ones. So the customers have a ticklish sense of feelings while sitting up for this experience.
 
How the pedicure is done by Fish
Garra rufa or 'Doctor Fish' used for this treatment thrive in the hot water which does not support much plant or aquatic life. So the fish learned to thrive on whatever available for them like dead cells and flaking skin etc. Since they do not have teeth they cannot take a bite at the living skin as they do not have teeth.
About 20- 30 minutes in the fish tank, the customers are given the standard pedicure treatment, made easier by the fish beauticians.

Feet and Hands Scrub

Keeping your feet clean and pretty takes a longtime. It is very ugly to see the cracks and dead skin on your feet.
Mix coconut oil, lime juice in equal parts and apply on your feet. Massage it well into the skin and leave it for five minutes.
Then add sugar to the remaining mix and scrub your feet thoroughly paying attention to the dirt prone areas, like, between toes and cracks on the soles of feet
Wash it off after scrubbing and apply hand lotion.
If you can do that regularly (at least once a week), you'll have beautiful feet which you can show off.

For hands also you can use the same method. When you do your household work at home, no one likes to wear gloves which are irritating. I myself don't do it.
Instead what we can do is to apply oil, which is always in the kitchen, as soon as you finish washing and cleaning.
Apply a little oil onto your hands , massage it well. Since your hands are damp, the oil penetrates quickly and gets absorbed nicely.
Once a week do the above mentioned scrub and remove the dead skin and calluses which might form.
Your hands will also look pretty.

For your nails:

Apply a little coconut / olive oil, massage it well into the nails and clean the cuticles regularly.
You can do this whenever you do oil massage to your hands. Your nails will look transparent and with a healthy pink colour.

Care Of Feet

Nowadays, everyone likes to wear short dresses like skirts, minis, midis etc. The legs have to be pretty to show them off. To have nice legs you have to exercise daily to keep the flab off from thighs, calves and ankles. Only then do these dresses look nice on you and you'll be able to carry them off very well.

First, what you have to do is to defuzz your legs if you have unwanted hair. Waxing is the best. It slows down the growth of hair and exfoliating regularly with a pumice stone will make the growth slower.

At least once a week you have to give a foot bath, which is known as pedicure at the beauty parlours.

To prepare wax at home:

Take 250 grams of sugar and juice of 6 large lemons. Mix them together and heat it on a stove.
When it boils, simmer and gently keep stirring till the mix gets thicker and of a golden brown colour. Remove and let cool. Mix in 1 tablespoonful of glycerine to the mix. Syore in a closed container and refrigerate.
In summer the wax tends to get thinner if you keep it outside. So if you like hot wax just heat it slightly or keep the wax in the freezer for sometime and then use.

Daily before going to bath give a little oil massage to your feet. Then take your usual bath. Your feet will look fresh and clean.
Clean your toe nails regularly. Paint them with a nail polish and also see that the nail polish doesn't get chipped. Keep them looking pretty.
