European pedicure

The safest pedicure is European, because it does not require pruning nails. Removal of keratinized skin on the feet occurs with the help of special chemical solutions, in other words, the chemical peeling procedure is used. When doing this kind of pedicure, you do not need to waste time on softening trays and foot products, because it is done strictly on dry feet. First step
The European pedicure can be done only in the event that on the legs there are no various calluses, hackles and other roughness of the skin. So, first of all, before starting work, it is necessary to thoroughly process the feet specially for this purpose by means of which the feet should completely immerse themselves for no less than fifteen minutes. Thus, the old, coarsened skin will soften and easily succumb to removal, while the damage to the young healthy layer will be ruled out. This procedure is possible thanks to keratolitics, which are part of the softening agent, thanks to them, loosening and dissolution of solid epidermal scales occurs. Also with the help of this solution, the cuticle area relaxes.

Second phase
The skin is rubbed with a napkin consisting of a dense cloth or pumice stone. As for the cuticle, then with the help of a wooden stick it is carefully moved to the edge of the nail plate. Next, the feet are polished with a soft nail file. While the nails are in a softened state, they are given the necessary shape, it happens with the help of a special tool. After that, a moisturizer is applied. In some cases, a relaxing massage is used to achieve a greater effect.

Why it is impossible to cut off a nail at such kind of a pedicure?
The European pedicure has a lot of advantages, but nevertheless, it will not have the proper effect with the classical cut-off of the nail plate, which are carried out for a long time. This happens because when the cuticle area is constantly cut off, each time it starts to grow more and more and thereby becomes rough, so it will take some time to get used to the chemical peeling.

How long does it take to fully switch to a European pedicure?
Of course, in most cases the first session of the European pedicure will have to remove the coarse part of the cuticle with cosmetic forceps. But for a complete transition to this type of nail care, it is necessary to conduct at least eight similar procedures, so that the skin in the cuticle area ceases to grow rapidly. In addition, an unedged pedicure is carried out much more often than the classical one. The time interval between the two procedures should not be more than two weeks.

What if the nails on the legs are accrued?
If the nails are enlarged with gel or acrylic, then the procedure of the unedged pedicure will be considerably hampered, since during chemical peeling the artificial nail plate will react with the composition of the softening agent. In some cases, you can face the problem of intolerance to such relaxing formulations, since allergic reaction, irritation or burning can manifest. In extreme cases, burns occur.

Under what circumstances is it better not to do a European pedicure?
The European pedicure can not cope with the very rough skin of the foot, which is abundant in corns and dead epidermis. If such troubles occur with your legs, then it will be better to wait with such a kind of pedicure and resort to the usual classical variant. On the European one you can completely rely only when the thickness of the cuticle is small and the sole of the legs is softened.
