Step-by-step home pedicure
Feet soaking
Put your feet in a container with warm water. You can add sea salt or bath salts and a few drops of essential oil. The water should be warm to prepare the feet for basic care. If you want to acclimate your footbath even more, you can add flower petals.
Exfoliation
Next, gently exfoliate your feet with a body-specific product, or by creating your own homemade scrubs. Massage them in a circular way, paying special attention to the heel area . Later it eliminates the rest of the product with water.
Brushed
Use a specific nail brush and rub gently , but with some energy, to remove dirt and dead skin cells from the surrounding skin. Make sure these are clean.
Nails to point
Use the tool with which you usually cut your nails, whether they are scissors or a nail clipper, and cut them straight. It is very important that you do not round them as they could hurt you by growing again. Once they are cut, file them and give them the shape you like.
Eliminate cuticles
Put your feet back to soak in warm water for a few minutes, so that the cuticles soften and you can push them, with the help of an orange stick. Dry your feet very well before doing this step correctly.
Removes hardness and calluses
With a pumice stone, file down hardness and calluses well . You should pay special attention to the heels, which is usually the most conflictive area. If the hardnesses resist, you can use a caliper.
Hydration
Apply a generous amount of moisturizer to your feet and let them breathe for a little while so that it penetrates and can nourish and soften them.
