A good facial will improve your skin tone, cleanse clogged pours and get rid of the dreaded “dullness factor”. The first step is to find out your skin type and collect the right products needed for your luxury service. From there, find some private time and get ready to make yourself more handsome.

The Grooming Lounge At Home Manicure & Pedicure
When giving yourself a hand or foot treatment (that’s what we call em’), it’s imperative to keep it simple. The following is an easy and quick system to keep your nails short and on point.
Time: Hands 10 Minutes/Feet 15 Minutes
Items Needed: Bowl Filled With Warm Water- File - Cuticle Stick (ask your girlfriend) - Clean Towel - Nail Kit - Hand & Foot Cream |
Step 1: Soak
Dip each hand in warm water until nails are soft (usually about 1 min).
|
Step 2: Clean
Clean beneath the nails with a clean metal file.
|
Step 3: Clip
Trim the nails with a clipper to leave a thin white strip at the end. Start in the middle of the nail then round off the sides.
|
Step 4: File
Smooth out your nails using a nail file or emery board. Just go one way…avoid the “sawing approach”.
|
Step 5: Push
Gently push back your cuticles (the white stuff around the edges of your nail) using a cuticle stick. Don’t cut them.
|
Step 6: Moisturize
Massage in some moisturizing cream until hands & feet feel soft and smooth.
