The procedure for caring for the skin and nails of the feet is called a pedicure, which is known to almost every girl. Moreover, it is divided into several types: hardware, edged, SPA. And not everyone is recommended to perform only one. This is how the combined pedicure appeared.
What is the procedure
Combined pedicure is a combination of cutting and hardware type of exposure. That is, the legs during the procedure are processed with a special machine and tools. This allows you to quickly and efficiently make the skin and nails well-groomed. Sometimes just one procedure is enough for this.
Suitable for
The pedicure procedure is in demand not only in the summer season, when open shoes are worn, but, oddly enough, in winter. Yes, any other time of the year. Combined pedicure, due to its uniqueness in combining two technologies at once, has its own indications. So, the owners of delicate and sensitive skin, on which calluses, blisters and corns appear when changing one type of shoe to another, will not be helped only by a cropped appearance. Moreover, with suchtechnology during a pedicure there is a risk of injury.
Processing the skin around the nails with the device is not always effective: the cuticle may not be completely removed, and when cutting the pterygium, the surface of the nail is sometimes damaged. In addition, for those who have very dense skin on their feet, steaming is categorically contraindicated. When removing old calluses and corns after a bath, there is a risk during a trimmed pedicure to remove too much skin, including he althy skin. Therefore, it is the combined pedicure that is the best way to bring the legs in order.
How it is done in the salon
Since the combined pedicure combines both the cutting technique and the hardware one, the procedure in the salon at the master usually begins with soaking the legs. In a bath with nourishing oils or lotions, the skin is steamed for 5-10 minutes. After that, with the help of nippers and scissors, the cuticle is removed, the nails are trimmed.
The work is done as carefully and accurately as possible, so as not to injure the client. In addition, the procedure is performed exclusively with sterilized instruments. The nail file is shaped. When the skin of the legs is completely dry, using various nozzles on the pedicure machine, the keratinized layer is removed from the heels, feet, and fingertips. The procedure is carried out with the utmost care. And only on dry skin! Otherwise, the nozzles (cutters) will be clogged with wet keratinized skin, which will reduce the effectiveness of the procedure to a minimum. After the pedicurefinished, the legs are rinsed in warm water and blotted with a towel.
How to make at home
Often, girls try to save money on going to the salon, so they carry out the procedure at home. It is worth noting that a full-fledged combined pedicure is possible only if there is a professional or semi-professional apparatus. Those that are sold in stores for home use for 300-500 rubles will not work. They will not cope with too rough skin of the legs, so the procedure will be almost useless.
In general, pedicures at home are performed in the same way as in the salon. The only difference is that the nozzles and cutters will have to be selected independently. To make the pedicure safe and effective, you can additionally rub the legs with a pumice stone or a special brush before treatment with the device. In this case, the machine will only carefully and gently grind the feet. After the procedure is completed, a decorative coating can be applied to the nails. And, by the way, without this, many do not imagine a pedicure at all. Design can be anything, but there are fashion trends in this direction.
How to decorate toenails
The fashion trends of pedicure today dictate the following conditions: the design of the nails of the hands and feet, if possible, should either match or be kept in the same color scheme. And it looks really stylish! Making a certain design for yourself on your hands, you can immediately ask the master (or yourself) to perform it on the samelegs.
By the way, it is the pedicure that will cost more in the salon. The design on the toenails is more difficult to do - the area for work, as a rule, is smaller. There is a universal option that suits everyone without exception - French. On the legs, it looks just as impressive, stylish and fashionable as on the hands. Therefore, if there are absolutely no ideas on how to complement a pedicure, you can turn to the ageless classics. If necessary, the master in the salon can grow the free edge to make a smooth smile line. And even draw something on the thumb. And yes - a simple varnish on the toenails lasts much longer than on the hands. Therefore, you can ignore the expensive procedure with gel polish, using the most common and familiar varnish.
