The perfect pedicure in the comfort of your own home
I suggest following these steps:
- STEP: Wash your feet and remove nail polish
Your feet need to be clean. Remove all visible dirt and any polish. Don't forget the area under the nails.
- STEP: Prepare a foot bath
Anyone who has had a pedicure knows that the foot bath is essential. The water should be between 37 and 38 degrees.
You can add salt and essential oils, which have a beneficial effect on the skin of the feet and also help you relax more.
We have created a special blend of herbs and essential oils of lemongrass, rosemary, grapefruit and peppermint, designed to refresh and relax tired legs. It will soften hard skin and calluses, ease tiredness and refresh your feet with a wonderful aroma.
One sachet will cost you less than a scoop of ice cream at the seaside. You can use it twice. You can find them HERE.
Don't soak for more than 10 minutes. Dry your feet with a towel.
- STEP: Remove hard skin
To remove hard skin you can use a coarse foot file or a strong scrub (if you don't have major problems with hard skin). Be gentle with the file, but by no means give up. Hard skin will gradually come away if you persevere.
- STEP: Shape your nails and don't forget the cuticles.
Nails should be cut in a straight line. Make sure the sides of the nails are not sharp. Use a file too, if needed.
Never forget the cuticles. Do not pull or remove them by force, as this can cause a burning sensation and a breeding ground for bacteria. Apply a cream (read below).
- STEP: Use a good cream
Both we and many pedicurists and healthcare professionals recommend Calm Cream for tired feet.
It is suitable for anyone who wants beautiful, soft and fragrant feet.
It contains aloe vera gel to soften the skin, and carefully selected essential oils with cleansing properties that help give a feeling of light feet. It contains essential oils of lavender, tea tree, cypress and lemongrass, which create a wonderful aroma while also acting as antibacterial and antiseptic agents, which feet greatly appreciate.
We recommend it to people who often suffer from swelling and a feeling of heavy, tired legs.
One cream will last you a very long time, so it is truly an excellent investment. You can find it HERE.
- STEP: Polishing
Once the cream has been absorbed, it is time to apply polish. Separate your toes with cotton wool so you don't smudge it. Start with a clear polish, wait for it to dry and then choose a coloured one (if you wish).
The whole process is very pleasant!
