The survey results showed that applying makeup and manicure has a beneficial effect on the psychological state of women. The participants said that these procedures bring them positive emotions, they feel relaxed and inspired. The procedures in salons turned out to be the most favorable - they brought more pronounced positive emotions than cosmetic care at home.
Scientists have noted that recently there has been more and more research on the impact of self-care practices on the state of mind. According to them, even such simple procedures as manicure can have a significant beneficial effect, according to an article published in Frontiers in Psychology.
