Hands up for great nails – products to support manicures and hand treatments

The hands are always on show but often neglected, even though clients want their nails to look the very best. Did you know you can boost your manicure and nail services by enhancing them with a full hand treatment?

The beauty of using Eve Taylor products is that their versatile actions can be utilised across many different treatments, not just the face. This allows you to get more use out of your products for increased cost effectiveness in the business and a unique approach of treating the hands.

Here we look at ways of incorporating the Eve Taylor range into your manicures and hand treatments

Cuticle remover:
Resurfacing Cream Exfoliant – this 6% AHA formulation softens and digests cuticle on the nail plate with glycolic, lactic and fruit based acids, allowing for easy removal with a cuticle pusher/knife.

Hand soak:
Rose Hydrolat – this aromatic water can be added to your hand bowl to increase hydration whilst imparting its highly floral scent.

Hand exfoliation:
Exfoliating Scrub – this easy to use exfoliant can be used to buff the hands to perfection with its abrasive yet gentle powdered baboo content leaving the hands feeling smooth and soft.
Salt & Seaweed Scrub mixed with Anti-stress Massage & Bath Blend – create a real spa manicure experience to intensively slough away skin cell build up for hands that feel like silk. The sea salt creates a coarse abrasive action whilst the aromatic oil added soothes the senses. Water soluble it can be easily rinsed away without residue.
Resurfacing Cream Exfoliant – this hydroxy acid mask like exfoliant is ideal for those with ageing or pigmented skin. Apply to the backs of the hands and leave for 5 minutes for intensive exfoliation. Glycolic and lactic acids digest the bonds that give cells cohesion, helping to brighten skin discolouration and giving superior skin smoothness.

Hand mask:
Moisturising Body Butter – this rich body moisturiser doubles up as an intensive moisturising hand mask. Apply liberally to the hands and place in liners whilst the blend of coconut, olive and shea butters intensively nourish and nurture the driest of hands. Got heated mitts? Place inside for enhanced product absorption.
Aromawax Candle – the soya and rapeseed-based candle wax creates a rich textured consistency which is ideal to be lavishly applied to the hands and placed into a liner for a luxurious hand mask ritual. These lipid rich oils saturate the skin with nourishment to soften and smooth.
Cryogenic Masque – ideal for those wanting an anti-ageing hand treatment, this alginate based masque can be mixed and applied to the back of the hands to rejuvenate and firm with its spirulina and menthol rich formulation.

Hand & arm massage medium:
Aromawax Candle – when the soya and rapeseed-based candle is burned for at least 20 minutes it liquifies into a beautiful rich oil which creates a wonderful medium for hand and arm massage. Unlike paraffin wax candles, the oil gives great slip for massage before absorbing into the skin, deeply nourishing without any residue to peel away.
Anti-stress Massage Oil – this top selling body massage oil is renowned for its soothing and relaxing benefits, with mandarin, petitgrain and lavender reducing daily stress and tension. A rich base of cold pressed oils nurture whilst giving great slip for your expert massage techniques
