A Day at the Salon…At Home!

Sometimes staying up-to-date on a weekly mani and pedi is just not an option, but that doesn’t mean the great tricks of the trade can’t be duplicated in a cost effective, comfort of your own home sort of way. “Nail and hand care needs always make for perfect at-home spa treatments,” says Shari Gottesman, founder of Perfect Formula. “It is so easy to do things to care for these workhorse body parts that are inexpensive, effective and incredibly pampering all at the same time.” Read on to learn Shari’s top at-home spa tips for hands and nails.

1. Drop your bottle of cuticle oil into a glass of hot water for a few minutes before applying to maximize penetration and effectiveness. It’s the cuticle version of a hot oil treatment!

2. Nothing beats a warm foot soak with some Epsom salt. It is such a great thing to do for foot health, and it makes it so much easier to buff away the dead skin. Epsom salt is detoxifying. It soothes aches, reduces swelling and is exfoliating. It’s literally the perfect gift for tired, unhappy feet.

3. Mix together olive oil and sugar for a luxurious and wholesome do-it-yourself exfoliating hand treatment.
