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.

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.
