A contra-action is a reaction that may occur following on from your manicure or pedicure treatment.

This is rare but it can occur as a result of the products used reacting with your skin.

Indications of this may appear as:

• Redness

• Swelling

• Itching

• Raised blisters

Even though the treatment was on your hands or feet, these can appear on your face or other parts of your body as well.

In the unusual case that this happens, remove the product immediately with warm water and apply a cold compress. You should then seek medical advice if the problem persists.
