SPA hand treatment — KART method
A thirty-minute treatment that requires neither specialised equipment nor technical skills, and is sold as an add-on to a manicure. The enzymatic mask replaces mechanical exfoliation: enzymes from papaya, mango and pumpkin dissolve dead skin cells without rubbing, whilst urea and sweet almond oil restore the hydrolipidic film.
This treatment is recommended for hands that are tired from exposure to alcohol-based sanitiser, the cold, hard water or manual labour. The results are visible from the very first session and are maintained with the rich cream sold as a home care product.
Apply before applying nail varnish, never afterwards: the oils in the treatment prevent the varnish from adhering.
Apply 1 ml of soap or foam to damp hands and massage each hand for one minute. Do not rinse: wipe off with a cotton cloth or paper towel.
Lactic acid soap lowers the skin’s pH to 3.5 — this is essential for the mask’s enzymes to work at full strength. Rinsing at this stage negates the effect.
Choose your preferred format: pump bottle (7001) or ready-to-use foam (7044), which is more economical to use.

Apply a thin, even layer to the palm and back of each hand, as if applying a mask rather than a cream. Do not rub in, do not rinse off.
Avoid open wounds and grazes.

Put on cellophane gloves, followed by terry cloth mittens. The heat and moisture trapped beneath the mask increase enzymatic activity.
After 15 minutes, remove the mittens and gloves, then wipe your hands with a warm, damp towel to remove most of the mask.
Cosmetic film – PANW
Take 1 ml of soap with a little water, massage into each hand for one minute, then rinse thoroughly. Dry carefully, making sure to dry between the fingers.
Choose the Treatment Soap to suit your skin type: 7701 for standard salon use, 7702 for very dry skin requiring additional moisturising agents.

Spray onto dry skin and nails: two sprays per hand, one per nail. Leave to dry.
The product acts as a carrier: it prepares the skin for the active ingredients applied afterwards and enhances their absorption. It can be used at any stage of the skincare routine.

Apply two to three drops of PodoHAcid to your hands, massaging it in whilst your skin is still warm.
This step locks in the moisture provided by the occlusive treatment: without it, the moisture absorbed by the mask will evaporate within a few hours.
PodoHAcid 7043 KART
Massage in the intensive nourishing cream for 3 to 5 minutes, working upwards from the fingertips towards the wrist.
This is also the time to suggest the home-use format: without the rich cream at home, the results last a week rather than a month.
