Not only in summer, but at any time of the year, it is important that the legs look seductive. To achieve this, many girls are accustomed to going to a beauty salon. And all because they still do not know how to learn how to do a pedicure, and do not imagine that at home a couple of elementary tricks can easily prolong the effect of a salon procedure, save time and money.
How to do a pedicure at home
Buying the right nail file is the first thing to do. They come in three types:
- with a rough finish very similar to sandpaper;
- glass effect plastic;
- glass.
File files with emery board exfoliate the edges of the nails. Plastic ones that look like glass will do, but the best option is glass. Nails should be filed in one direction, trying to give a completely even shape. You should not experiment with the shape of toenails, because this is fraught with ingrowth and the subsequent development of the disease onychocryptosis. How to do a pedicure at home if the bone is at the base of a largefingers sticking out? Only in this case, the uneven shape of the nail plate can be some salvation. If you file the nail diagonally, it can create an optical illusion of even toes. The next stage is polishing (getting rid of the remnants of varnish with a buff file) and removing the rough skin around the nails and on the feet. Removing the skin in water is a big mistake, because the areas that need to be treated are poorly visible, and if the leg slips off, damage cannot be avoided. Heels should be processed first down - towards the foot, and then in the opposite direction, then there will be no roughness. How often to do a pedicure? You need to process the legs every 1.5-2 weeks if the skin grows quickly. And if it is thin and dry, then one procedure a month is enough.
Oils, scrubs, varnishes
Specialized foot scrubs are anti-fungal, anti-perspirant and botanical to reduce puffiness. How to do a pedicure at home, what scrubs to use if there is no way to purchase professional ones? Just mix a regular body cream and sea s alt, the effect will be just as good. Professionals advise using oil (suitable for the body) as a balm for the feet. You don't need to worry about how often you apply nail polish, because the damage is no more serious than the damage from a polluted atmosphere, frequent washing or malnutrition.
Fish Pedicure
This procedure is not quite suitable as a solution to the question of how to dopedicure at home, but worth mentioning.
Many have seen aquariums with small fish in beauty salons, which are happy to “eat” your legs for 10-15 minutes. Interesting to try, isn't it? However, experts advise avoiding this procedure: you never know who fed these fish before you. After all, it could well be a person with skin diseases or fungal. In addition, the water in aquariums is changed infrequently and they are rarely washed. Therefore, it is better to give preference to a classic pedicure in a beauty salon, and even better - at home.
