Pedicure at home, it's easy


Generally women love pampering herself in beauty salon for facial, pedicure, manicure and many other beauty treatments. I don't say it's not worth however sometime you don't get time to go to parlor and may be sometime your pocket doesn't allows you. No worries, you can give yourself a home pedicure which is relaxing and of course will make your feet beautiful. Whole day your feet work hard for you so now it's your duty to give some relief to them.

Pedicure at home.

You will need:

  • A nail file
  • Feet file
  • A plastic or glass bowl big enough for a foot bath with warm water
  • Cotton balls
  • 2 tablespoons of sugar
  • 5 table spoon of oil, and optional 3 drops of essential oil or lemon juice.
  • Bath salt
  • Milk
  • Nail polish remover
  • Nail cutter
  • Orangewood stick
  • Nail paint

Steps for pedicure:

Pedicure at home.

  1. Using nail polish remover and cotton balls remove old nail polish completely. If the color is not coming off the press the cotton on to the nail and let it soak for a while.
  2. Cut your nails properly and file them to your desire shape. Do not let your nail extend over the tip of your toe.
  3. Prepare the foot bath with warm water; fill a basin with a gallon of warm water and add bath salts, essential oils or lemon juice and let your feet soak for 20 minutes to soften calluses and corns. If possible add about quarter cup of milk to the warm water. Lactic acid in the milk loosens dead skin.
  4. Apply cuticle remove to the base of each nail and rub in. Wait for a minute and then using an orangewood stick; slowly push the skin back where it meets the nail.
  5. Apply the scrub and a foot file on your feet to remove the dead skin on the balls and heels of your feet.  Make sure every area is treated.  Don't rub hard. Wash it out with the foot bath water, dry the feet thoroughly including between the toes and move the foot bath to the side.
  6. Apply nourishing foot cream or oil to the nail and massage the cuticles.
  7. Using a cuticle stick, push the skin back gently. Before toenails can be polished, cuticles need to be minimized so that nails are sleek and color may be more easily applied.
  8. Get your feet file and pass it on the rough areas. Work slowly so that nails that have been weakened by breaks do not tear or split from filing.
  9. Apply the first coat of your favorite nail paint and wait for 2-3 minutes and then apply the second coat. Do not paint cuticles. Use orangewood stick wrapped in cotton dipped in nail polish remover to remove excess nail polish.
  10. Let your nails dry completely and you are done with your pedicure. Trust me your feet will love you for this care.
