Cold weather pedicures give special attention to dry feet. The use of exfoliating scrubs and extra-moisturizing lotions can solve problems of painfully dry, flaky, red, ugly winter skin. You can have soft, smooth, moisturized, healthy skin even though the weather is cold and harsh. If you re blessed with a pedicurist who provides private pedicures that s an extra relaxation pampering plus for you. There are several types of pedicures that address cold weather problems as well as being stress zapping. </p> <p>Another major benefit of cold weather pedicures is the stress relief factor. Research has shown that relaxation slows down the heart rate, lowers blood pressure, eases tension headaches and regulates breathing. Stress causes the body to secrete cortisol, a hormone linked with anxiety and agitation. Relaxation reduces adrenaline levels allowing the immune system to function more efficiently. Relaxation can boost your everyday level of happiness hormones, improve your immune system, help you sleep better and decrease your risk of heart disease.</p> <p>A <i>warm paraffin-moisturizing pedicure</i> is just the ticket to warm your feet and your heart. Nothing lifts the winter blues like a colorfully painted set of toenails. It s like fresh sunshine and the warm paraffin locks in heat as it moisturizes and opens pores to help soften and tone extremely dry feet.</p> <p>A <i>hot stone massage pedicure</i> is another foot warming experience that solves circulation problems associated with this time of year. If you feel rushed and depressed in the winter you can experience warmth and stress relief when you get a <i>hot stone massage pedicure</i>. Heated stones and massage oils rubbed on the feet and legs will most definitely relax and rejuvenate you.</p> <p><i>Aromatherapy essential oil pedicures</i> provide relief from dry calluses, dry crusty heels and dry thick cuticles. Aromatic essential oil products act fast to soften and moisturize thickened skin. For public safety the use of salt and sugar scrubs, pumice stones, foot files, and alpha-hydroxy callus softening products are used instead of the dangerous credo cutting blade implement. Essential oils used in <i>aromatherapy pedicures</i> revitalize and harmonize with the cells to purify and restore tissue. Essential oils stimulate and tone the skin and accelerate the circulation facilitating the elimination of toxins.</p> <p>A <i>reflexology massage pedicure</i> can increase the circulation in the feet and help detoxify the body. Many people suffer from poor blood circulation during the winter months. It s important to have good blood flow in order to carry oxygen and nutrients to all the cells and to remove toxins. By reducing blockages, stress and tension, reflexology massage pedicures allow the cardiovascular vessels to restore the flow of blood to the whole body.</p> <p>When cold weather gives you the doldrums then try a moisturizing <i>warm-paraffin pedicure</i>, a super relaxing <i>hot-stone massage pedicure</i>, a sweet smelling <i>aromatherapy essential oils pedicure</i>, or a circulation boosting <i>reflexology massage pedicure</i>. Your pedicurist will be glad to help solve your cold weather blues.</p> <hr size=1 color="gray" width="100%" align=center> <p><a href="./Map-NYW.htm" title="[Location: Directions & Map]"><img alt="[Look for the Hand]" align="left" src="./5900hand.jpg"></a> Read Jeanne's Latest Monthly Article In Chapel Hill News & Views.</p> <p></p><a href="./Map-NYW.htm" title="[Location: Directions & Map]"><img alt="[MAP]" align="right" src="./MAP-NYW1-tn.jpg"></a> <p><b>Nails Your Way</b><br> <i>Jeanne Grace Curtis</i><br> <i>5900 Orchard Road</i><br> <i>Douglasville GA 30135-4726</i></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>Look for the Hand Sign pointing at the gate!<br> (All the way at the end of Orchard Road)</p> <p align=right>Click on Map for Printable Copy. </p> <h3 style="color:red">By Appointment Only</h3> <TABLE border="3" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3"> <TR style="color:black"> <TD align=right><b>Sun-Mon</TD> <TD align=left><b>Closed</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD align=right><b>Tues-Sat</TD> <TD align=left><b>11am-7pm</TD> </TR> </TABLE> </b> <h2 style="color:red">770-949-3113</h2> <hr size=1 color="gray" width="100%" align=center> <a href="./index.htm" title="[Nails Your Way Home Page]"> HOME</a> | <a href="./aboutNYW.htm" title="[A Therapeutic Nail Care Salon]"> About NYW</a> | <a href="./articles.htm" title="[Articles from Chapel Hill News &amp; Views]"> ARTICLES</a> | <a href="./listserv.htm" title="[List of Services]">SERVICES & PRICES</a> | <a href="./Map-NYW.htm" title="[Location: Directions & Map]">MAP</a><br> <hr size=1 color="gray" width="100%" align=center> </body> </html>
