What is a benefit of massage in manicures?

Massage during manicures primarily benefits the skin and muscles around the nails, as well as the nail bed itself by improving circulation. Increased blood flow to these areas enhances nutrient delivery, which is essential for maintaining healthy skin and nails. This improved circulation can lead to better overall nail health and might contribute to faster nail growth over time, although that isn't the main focus of nail massage.

The act of massaging can also relax a person, reduce stress, and provide a pleasant tactile experience, which makes the manicure process more enjoyable. While the other options touch on aspects related to nail care, they do not directly connect to the immediate benefits of massage like circulation enhancement does.
