Pedicure: important rules

Everything about a woman should be beautiful – both her hands andface, body, and legs. Moreover, legs should be looked after and cared for as carefully as we look after our face, for this we should regularly do a pedicure. It does not matter what the weather is outside, what shoes we wear, the main thing is to always and in everything feel confident. Legs are our everything: an easy gait, a beautiful appearance, general grooming and, of course, health. That is why a long time ago, more than a hundred years ago, Kim Birkenstock (the inventor of open sandals) said: "The foot is the hand of the leg." Today we will try to tell you everything about pedicure, and all you have to do is choose the right way to care for your legs.

About procedures in beauty salons

A pedicure should be done at least once amonth. Firstly, it is good for health, secondly – the legs will look aesthetically pleasing, and thirdly – the woman will have a flying gait. Yes, yes, many ladies note this – a pedicure gives lightness, as if wings grow behind the back, and you want to fly. There are several types of the procedure called pedicure, which are offered in salons, and they have obvious differences:

In all salons the pedicure is made as followsway: a special remedy is applied softening the cuticle, then it is moved away with a wooden stick, the nail is cut off and a colorless or pink varnish is applied to it;
Classic pedicure: a tool is used - scissors and forceps. The legs are unraveled, the cuticle is cut off, the nails are polished. Then the legs are treated with oil or cream to moisturize and nourish the skin;
French pedicure: here do not use any piercing-cutting tools and do not use water. Just cut the cuticle carefully, and afterwards it becomes thinner and thinner, but the stable result is only visible on the 6-8 procedure, and on the first procedures there is a combination with the classical method;
Hardware pedicure: in it, instead of water, a special solution is used, which is able to separate even the coarsest skin from healthy without trauma. In order to treat the skin of feet and ankles, special nozzles-mills of different size and level of roughness are used, and this allows individual selection of the tool. The hardware pedicure is good because after it there is a stable result - the skin grows slower and longer coarsens.

In addition to the above types, I would like to notepedicure using various spa procedures. This includes skin care with masks and massage, nail treatment, and even hair removal - a whole complex! This pedicure is performed using a specially developed technique:

The procedure of softening the skin of the legs with preparations including lavender, mint and grapefruit is carried out;
Micropeeling - is performed using unrefined sugar, pleasantly warms the skin. This pedicure involves exfoliation of old and rough particles;
Rejuvenates the skin of the legs - for example, sea serum.
The procedure of exfoliation of rough skin and softening of the cuticle - a pedicure of nails;
Moisturize the legs with the help of oils of patchouli, rosemary or lemon with cloves. By the way, at this moment the pedicure turns into aromatherapy;
A foot and ankle massage is performed, special oils are used, which include grapes, ginger or Indian wormwood;
Applying nail polish. This pedicure with the use of spa techniques is over.

Agree, you will want to get a pedicure like thisevery woman - after all, it is not just a hygienic procedure, but an indescribable rest for the whole organism, just a pleasure! But if you do not have the opportunity to visit beauty salons and get a pedicure from professionals (at least because of the high cost), then you can and should take care of your feet at home.

Foot care at home

So, how to do a pedicure yourself?Remove the nail polish in advance and prepare a bath with warm water. Remember that you shouldn’t pour in too hot water – it’s quite a serious blow to the heart. To make your pedicure enjoyable, you can add some product (chamomile, thyme or sea salt) to the water, something that only you like. Keep your feet in the bath with water until the rough skin softens. All this time, add hot water as the bath cools down. Now your feet are ready, you can start doing your pedicure. Treat each foot in turn, while you’re doing one, don’t take the other one out of the water. First, remove the rough skin from your feet using a special metal grater. This is where your pedicure should start. Don’t use a blade or scissors – you can seriously injure yourself. If you have calluses, they should be carefully cut off with tweezers. After that, the foot is rinsed, wiped dry and moisturizer is applied to it. By the way, a pedicure is considered complete if all the procedures are carried out. Now you can treat the nails - this is also included in the concept of a pedicure. The foot is steamed, and the cuticle will move away quite easily. If it is not very rough and large, then it is enough to slightly open the nail plate, but if necessary, be sure to trim it with special tweezers. Do not overdo it, the cuticle cut to the root does not look aesthetically pleasing, and pain will be inevitable, and the pedicure will become hard labor. Nails are carefully trimmed and polished with a file. Now all that remains is to apply varnish to the surface of the nails - first degrease the plate with alcohol or acetone, and then apply varnish. Use special spacers for the fingers - this is the only way to do a pedicure as carefully as possible. Let it dry and cover with a fixing solution on top. That's it, the pedicure is ready! Your feet are ready to conquer everyone around you! You should do a pedicure at home at least twice a month, and you should steam and clean your feet daily, and then even in the most open shoes you will feel like a king! We recommend reading:
