Learning Outcome:
LO2: Wash client’s hand with lukewarm water and soap, and towel-dry before and after scrubbing

Welcome to the Technology and Livelihood Education – Home Economics Beauty/Nail Care Services
Grade 9 Self Learning Module. This covers the development of the learner’s knowledge, skills, and attitude
required in performing hand and foot spa competencies.

This will be the source of information for you to acquire skills in this particular competency to
become a competent nail technician independently and at your own pace, with minimum supervision or help
from your instructor.

What is Paraffin Hand or Foot Spa?

It is a treatment performed by professionally trained staff. It is done to replenish, restore, pamper tired
hands, keep the nails looking healthy and strong and rejuvenate tired hands. It is also found helpful to combat
aging. This treatment is accompanied by massage and has many beneficial effects like reduced hand pain, less
anxiety, better mood, improved sleep, greater grip strength, and an increase in blood circulation.

Once you learned the theories and applications about hand spa, this could be your steppingstone to
augment personal income. This activity can be performed at home.

The following cautions should be considered in mind when performing paraffin wax hand treatment.

• It is for external use only. Never heat it up in the microwave since it is flammable
• Never heat the paraffin wax directly in the stove or electric burner.
• Always test the temperature out before putting your feet or hands to avoid burns due to high heat.
• Do not continue with the hand spa treatment if there are signs of infection.
• Spa treatment is not advisable for persons with poor blood circulation.

Procedure in Hand Massage

1. Place a drop of lotion on the back of the client’s hand and spread it to the fingers and wrist.
2. Hold the client’s hand firmly and bend the hand slowly with a forward and backward movement
flexing the wrist. Repeat three times
3. Hold each finger, gently bend each finger, one at a time, to stretch the top of the hand and finger
joints.
4. Massage the palm of the hands with the pads of your thumbs, using a circular motion in alternate
directions. This provides relaxation to the client’s hand.
5. Grip each finger at the base, and rotate it gently in large circles, ending with a gentle squeeze of the
fingertips. Repeat three times.

 6. Massage the wrist, then the top of the hand with a circular motion. Slide back and with both hands,
press wrist in opposite direction three times
7. Starting at the base of each finger, rotate, pause, and squeeze with gentle pressure. Then, pull lightly
with pressure until the tip is reached. Repeat three times.
8. Do the same on the other hand, then complete the massage.

TYPES OF A SPA IN NAIL CARE.

A. Paraffin Wax Spa. This is a wonderful, rather a perfect treatment for dry, rough skin, helping to reveal
smooth skin underneath.

Procedure

1. Start with sanitizing the hands with soap and water.

2. Dip both hands and feet or apply the paraffin wax with paraffin brush into the melted wax
and remove. Allow the wax to cool completely and set.

3. Peel off the cold set wax.

4. Wipe the hand and feet with a warm, moist towel and then massage hands or feet with lotion.

B. Mud mask spa. A mud mask is similar to a face mask, but applied on hands or feet. It helps to remove
the dead skin and to relax sore feet and hands. It puts life back into tired hands and feet. It softens
calluses and neglected skin.

Procedure

1. Start with an exfoliation using a scrubbing cream.

2. Always moisturize the feet after exfoliation is completed

3. Apply mask made of clay on hands/feet

4. Once it is dry, remove the mask from the hands or feet.

5. Rinse and dry it properly.

 C. Salt and Sugar Spa. This spa exfoliates and moisturizes the skin and removes dirt from hands and feet.
Procedure

1. Apply basic treatment of manicure and pedicure

2. Use salt or sugar with a moist hand to scrub the skin, instead of using scrubbing cream.

D. Special Variants of Spa. These treatments range from a simple sea-salt scrub, to skin peels and callus
removal, masks, aromatherapy, flowers, and fruit treatments.
1. Stone spa. This type of pedicure involves oil being massaged into the feet and lower legs
with hot stones.

2. Peaches and Cream Spa. You could use a peach-scented candle or diffuser in the pedicure
area. Milk or any cream will help exfoliate the skin and sliced peaches in the bath will make
the client feel very relaxed.

3. Flower Petal Float Spa. Soak the hands and feet in a basin filled with rose petals, valued
for their moisturizing and mood-elevating benefits. The client relaxes as the petals are
bathed over the hands/feet with lotion, massaged into the muscles for a fragrant sensation.

4. Champagne or Wine Spa. This is a regular pedicure usually featuring a grapeseed scrub,
grape mask peel, and finished off with grapeseed oil or moisturizing massage.

5. Athletic Spa. This spa is quite similar to a regular pedicure for either gender. It contains
either a clear polish or toenail buffing. Usually, the fragrant used will be more freshening,
such as peppermint, cucumber, or eucalyptus.

6. Chocolate Spa. A spa that may include a chocolate foot soak, chocolate foot Mask, or
chocolate moisturizing lotion.

7. Margarita Spa. It is a normal spa that includes a salt scrub and soaking water with fresh
limes. It may also include lime-based massage oil and moisturizer.

8. Ice Cream Spa. A spa where a “bath ball”, which looks like a scoop of ice cream, is chosen.
The soak is followed by a foot scrub topped with whipped moisturizing lotion. Red nail
polish simulates the ice cream’s cherry.
