Surrounded by a storm of many questions, doubts and concerns- bleaching procedures are still resorted to by innumerable people across the globe as a means to lighten their skin tone or to achieve an even skin tone.

Before we begin to judge and poorly project the practice, let us understand why?. Why is bleaching essential to some? With the changing notions and trends in the beauty industry, not everyone desires to attain a light or fair skin. People have gradually learned to accept and love their skin tone with grace. The fascination with “white” skin slowly seems to have reduced. Fair is not lovely always!

People resort to bleaching for various other purposes now. For many, it is the last measure to overcome issues with their skin tone or colour. It is not always to merely achieve a skin shade that is way lighter than their original skin shade!

People may bleach their skins to help them overcome some stubborn skin issues like tanning, pigmentation, birthmarks, unwanted hair etc. To some extent, bleaching the skin using chemicals helps to lighten these skin discolourations and evens out the colour of your skin.

Skin bleaching products come with their own set of risks. There can be no denying this fact. Some chemical constituents if the bleach can have adverse effects on the skin if not used as per instructions. Hence, it is essential to not choose the “let’s save some money” path and rather get your skin bleached by a professional.

A professional aesthetician would know the compositions of the bleach, the appropriate quantity and how to execute the entire bleaching process. Every individual, every skin type and tone is unique. It is hence of paramount importance to understand your skin and its concerns before you resort to any skin therapy.

If bleaching is essential and you choose to get it done regularly, one can definitely avoid using completely chemical laden bleaches and opt for natural, milder bleaches. They are effective and highly recommended because they have bare adverse effects on your skin. They can do wonders on sensitive skins that need bleaching. Some countries across the world have even banned chemical bleaches.

However, it is important to educate and understand the advantages and disadvantages of any beauty product before you decide to treat your skin with it. A professional salon with highly skilled and trained beauty therapists will be able to give you honest suggestions and advise a healthy beauty procedure. Believe in their advice.

Always check the products that go on your skin. Once you are loaded with all the information and understand the boons and banes of a particular beauty treatment- you will yourself find your answer whether the treatment is yay or nay!

Every part of us deserves a TLC. What a refreshing facial is to the face, a manicure is to the hands and pedicure to our feet. And mind you, apart from aesthetic and refreshing properties, it provides great health benefits and overall well-being.

Four reasons why you should definitely get manicure and pedicure done regularly:

• De-stress

  Massages have always been known to relieve stress. The nerve endings on our hands and feet when massaged help in relieving both mental and physical stress. So manicures and pedicures are not only about fancy talons and there is more value to it.

• Improved blood circulation

  The entire process of getting a manicure and pedicure involves a lot of scrubbing and massaging. And this, in turn, helps in increasing our blood circulation. And an improved blood circulation most definitely relieves the aches and pains of our body. So next time you feel tired, drained or exhausted, it’s time to book your appointment with your manicurist.

• Healthier nails

  Our hands are exposed to many elements and hence require deep cleaning. Manicure and pedicures are a good way to stay away from fungal infections and ingrown nails. Ingrown nails, when treated well in time, do not pose much of a trouble, but if ignored can create a lot of unwanted havoc. So take a cue.

• Beautiful hands and feet

  They say you should save the best for the last. Cracks taken care of, dead skin gone, tan tackled, nails in perfect shape and that beautiful nail art of course, leaves your hands and feet looking alluring and admirable.

Not that anyone need reasons to pamper themselves, but for some of us who are a tad bit lazy I hope we have given you enough reasons to book that salon appointment right away and if you are in Abu Dhabi, in the Mushrif area, we will be more than happy to oblige.

Once in a while, do you experience this extreme urge to shut off from the pulsating world around you and soak into tranquility? The fast-paced life and the never-ending hustle and bustle often deprives us of the very essential “ME” time. Your body is considered worth worshiping and a place of worship needs some relaxation and cleansing too. Doesn’t it? Cleansing and rejuvenation are the primary care your body desires and deserves.

Much before the modern-day spas emerged and gained fame, traditional methods of body cleansing and relaxation have been popular all around the world in differed forms. Moroccan Bath or Hammam Maghribi is one such age-old practice that helps in body revitalization.

This mystical method of bathing and massage makes you feel royally pampered after a long tiring day at work or after trudging out in the heat and dust!

The nurturing and skilled touch of a professional therapist goes beyond the realm of mere bodily relaxation. It calms your mind and soul.

The perfect hair and body rinse with a special Moroccan soap, to nourish your skin, marks the beginning of the Hammam Maghribi routine. Using a loofah, the effective scrubbing done by the masseuse, while you sit in a room full of steam, helps your body get rid of the dirt and dead skin cells. Every pore of your body relaxes and heals.

Post the efficient scrubbing process, the mask applied to your entire body stimulates the body’s waste to rise up to the surface which is then eliminated using another mask. All this while you are still in a “feel-good” state with the steam in the room de-stressing you.

As the mask is washed off and the blissful therapy comes to an end, you do not even realize that an approximate of 60 minutes is over! All you can wish for is these heavenly moments would never end.

The Moroccan Bath not only revitalizes and exfoliates your skin leaving it refined and relieved, but it also harmonizes your mind, body and soul. Improved blood circulation, muscle relaxation and boosting the overall functioning of the muscles and tissues is an added advantage of this therapy. A holistic process of unwinding! Isn’t it?
