Basic Pedicure

Like the nails on your hand the nails on your feet too need to be taken care of. You can give yourself a pedicure at home. Given below are the steps to follow for a home pedicure.
1) Remove old nail polish completely. Using cotton balls leaves traces of cotton on your nails try using cotton bands instead. Soak the cotton band with acetone remover and remove the old polish. If the color is not coming off the press the cotton on to the nail and let it soak for a while.
2) It is always best to use high quality clippers to cut your toenails. Cut your nails straight across, leaving about 1/8" of length. Do not let your nail extend over the tip of your toe.
3) For a soft square shape, file the nail around the corners in one direction. Use emory boards and not metal files, as metal files rip nails. The smoother surface is for smoothing the nail edge while the coarser surface is for shortening and shaping nails.
4) Apply cuticle cream
5) Fill a big flat-bottom bowl or foot spa machine with warm water. Add Mineral salts, aromatherapy oils or pedicure shampoo and let your feet soak for to minutes. The more calloused your feet are the longer they need to stay soaked. Add about quarter cup of milk to the warm water. Lactic acid in the milk loosens dead skin.
6)Apply cuticle pusher and cutter to the base of each nail and rub in. Wait for a minute and then using an orange wood stick, slowly push the skin back where it meets the nail. 7)Use brush and shampoo in a circulate motion.
8) Use foot scrapper and loofah or a wet pumice stone and remove the dead on the balls and heels of your feet.
9)Use an ex-foliating body or foot scrub.
10)Use a massage cream for a relaxation one.
