Home pedicure has a lot of its advantages. This is saving time and money, it is complete control over the situation, it is confidence in the sterility of tools and, as a result, the lack of risks of obtaining infection. In addition, pedicure at home can be done at any time and there is no need to adapt to the work schedule of specialists.
So how to make a beautiful pedicure at home?
The pedicure of the house must start with the removal of the old varnish using a special tool. After that, start steaming your legs.
It is better to take foot baths with the addition of auxiliary preparations that soften the skin, cleanse it. Such means include salt, soda, essential oils. During the way you steam the feet, we advise you to treat the heels with a pumice or special scrapers. All of them will help you get rid of the keratinized skin layer. You can also use a regular scrub. It will also effectively cleanse the skin of dirt and sweat.
After you steam your legs and treated the feet with a pumice, you need to wipe your legs dry and go to the treatment of nails directly.
The correct pedicure at home necessarily concludes nail trimming with special scissors. We advise you to trim the nails in a straight line, and not a semicircle, as we do during a manicure. So you will reduce the risk of growing nails in the skin. In addition to cut the nails, it is necessary to carefully cut the skin around the nails, as well as remove the cuticle (the cuticle is a thin layer of the skin that occurs at the base of the nails). After this, the nails and the surface of the nail plate must be treated with a file.
If the nails on your legs are fragile and brittle, then special nail masks will be useful. Attach lemon slices to the nails for 5-10 minutes, and the nails will become much stronger.
After that, the pedicure at home continues to apply varnish on the nails. It is advisable to apply the first layer with a special varnish that will strengthen the nails. Today, such funds are presented in a large assortment. In addition, you can simply apply a layer of colorless varnish.
Two layers of darker and colored varnish can be applied over the first layer. Remember, if you want to make a pedicure with colored varnish. Then a transparent basis is necessary. Colored varnishes due to the high content of dyes, strongly spoil the nails and make them not only brittle, but also yellow.
After the varnish on the legs dries, we advise the feet to smear the legs with cream and the procedure of homemade pedicure can be considered complete.
