Men's personal hygiene Must Include Manicure and Pedicure

Next Time She Goes for a Mani-Pedi, Join Her!

Society has a created an image for men and what is considered to be the ideal for male appearance: tall, dark, rough and tough. But what is beyond comprehension is what made dirty nails acceptable on men? Just as they say a man's shoe reveals his personality, a man's nails are a reflection of his personal hygiene!

Nails are an easy access for bacteria to make a home. According to the website of the Global Healing Center, men are more likely to get toe fungal infection than women.

But the suggestion of manicures or pedicures for men is still a taboo in India and something could make you the butt of many jokes. However, the reality is that this is what can ensure the best personal hygiene for men too.

Reasons Why a Mani-Pedi is Good for You

• The Physical structure of the nails make them more convenient for germs to easily stick in the crevices. Long, untrimmed nails prove to be better breeding grounds for harmful bacteria and germs that can cause pin worms or other fungal infections! Get them cleaned ASAP! The salon professionals are trained in properly trimming the nails, feet and palms, making your hands and feet perfect for that flip flop.
• Manicures and pedicures are most important because the whole process involves removing dirt and re-moisturizing. This re-infusion of moisture is beneficial in preventing cracked heels and callouses, which can later cause sores and ulcerations.
• A mani-pedi session gives you a thorough massage, which helps in blood circulation. And who wouldn't like a soothing massage after that hectic week?
• Wearing closed shoes for long hours can cause the feet to smell due to the active interaction of sweat and bacteria. The rainy season only makes it worse. A good pedicure session will not only give you a thorough cleaning, it will remove all odor and prevent it from coming back!
• Matters of personal hygiene require a lot of diligent and dedicated effort and when the society is offering a service that will take the load of our hands, why should we not grab it?

There are a lot of beauty salons in the country that offer manicure and pedicure services to men. Some cater elusively to men, while others are unisex.

Proper hand washing may help you become germ free on a daily basis, adding mani-pedi sessions to your personal hygiene routine will enhance your germ-defense mechanism and make you look super clean!
