Use a cuticle pusher only after cuticles are soft.
An organic manicure is a way to take care of your nails without using chemicals that can be toxic to humans or the environment. Some chemicals in nail products may contain agents that can cause nail damage or even cancer and other diseases. Since many nail products contain chemicals, look for the words “organic manicurist,” “green manicurist,” or “green manicurist” when trying to find a natural manicurist.
An organic manicure usually begins by filing the nails.
Common substances found in nail polishes include formaldehyde, dibutyl phthalate, and toluene. These items are not good for the environment or the human body. They can enter the body through the skin of the nail or the nail bed and cause damage over time. Some of these ingredients are prohibited in some countries.
When researching nail care professionals, ask about the types of nail products used in the salon. Even the moisturizer must be made from organic products to qualify as an organic manicure. Green nail salons can be found all over the world and often advertise their organic product lines up front. The cost of a non-toxic manicure is equivalent to that of a traditional manicure.
Green nail salons often advertise their organic product lines prominently.
An organic manicure usually begins by filing the nails. If your professional uses cuticle softener, it should be made with all-natural ingredients like hot water and buttermilk. Natural oils such as jojoba or coconut oil can also be used. If the client does not want nail polish, a general buffing of the nails can leave them shiny and smooth.
Once the cuticles and nail bed soften, the nail care professional pushes back the cuticles with a stick. Organic manicures do not recommend cutting the cuticles, as this can lead to infection.
Acrylic, gel or plastic nails are not applied during an organic manicure. The reason is that the glue or chemicals from these false nails can leak into your bloodstream. Only natural nails are treated during a green manicure.
The use of oil is very important in natural manicure. The oil is rubbed into the client’s cuticles, nails and hands. However, an important note: mineral oil is not considered organic, so it should not be found on the ingredients list.
After the nails are polished and clean, the nail care technique moisturizes your client’s hands, wrists, and arms. Oils and honey are often used to soften skin without adding harsh chemicals. Packaged moisturizers that do not contain toxic substances can usually be found in organic beauty salons.
