Take out some time from your busy routine and follow these steps to get an
instant results. Your pretty feet are not to hide under cover instead they should
be flaunt and show off. If you think you can not afford to have a professional
pedicure in a nail salon, treat yourself to one at home. You don't need to book
an expensive salon appointment to get the perfect pedicure. So go ahead get
ready to do your own pedicure.
Prepare your feet:
Fill your bathtub or a bucket with warm water. Fill the tub with enough water
to soak the feet. Add some bath salts or desired amount of foot soak into the
tub. Let it dissolve. If you do not have bath salts or foot soak try salt from
your kitchen.
Clean the nails:
Remove any nail polish from your toes.
Soak your feet:
Soak your feet minimum for 15-20 minutes. You may enjoy relaxing music, interesting
magazine or wear a soothing face pack and enjoy the warm water on your tried
feet.
Soften up:
Remove dead skin cells by gently scrubbing calluses and heels with a pumice
stone. This is an important step to attain soften and touchable feet. This would
help to exfoliate your feet, resulting in soft feet.
Massage you feet:
Dry your feet with a clean towel. Massage gently one foot at a time, then do
the other. Begin by massaging the cream (Les Savons Foot Lotion soothes and
smoothes rough feet) gently into the whole foot, top and bottom, toes to ankle.
End this portion with strokes going from your toes to your ankles.
Trim nails:
Trim toenails, cutting them in a square shape which will prevent ingrown nails.
Gently using the orange stick or cuticle stick push back cuticles . This will
allow you to paint your entire nail by guiding the supple cuticle out of the
way. Never cut your cuticles -- they are necessary for keeping bacteria from
entering the skin.
Pick a color:
If you wish to apply nail polish, choose a desired shade of polish. Apply each
coat at a time, slowly. Apply the next coat once the last coat is completely
dry. Repeat the step until you have achieved a desired shade of the polish.
Cuticles care:
Let your nails dry for at least half an hour, then rub a dab of olive oil into
your cuticles and nail beds to moisturize them.
It is so much fun to indulge yourself in spa pedicure but the softness you
experience from your home pedicure is comparable to the pedicures you might
receive in a salon. Create a spa like atmosphere, play some relaxing music and
enjoy. Don't be shy to bare your toes in summer. It's finally a time to get
into cute, trendy and colorful sandals and flip-flops.
