Towards ease
In the daily schedule, make such procedures for foot care.
Take a contrast shower
Cheer up not worse than a cup of coffee, as a bonus for the legs - will disperse the blood through the extremities and protect from swelling. It is not necessary to subtilize and calculate the duration of each douche - in the completion of water procedures, rinse your feet from the tips of your fingers to your hips several times, alternately cold and well warm water; finish pouring as much as possible cold. By the way, this is a work for the future - when it gets colder, no frost will be terrible for you.
Apply carer
Choose it according to your needs. Deodorizing talc and antiperspirants will cope with excessive sweating and unpleasant odor. In their composition - tannins, which reduce sweating, and antiseptics that prevent the appearance of a smell of sweat. More versatile cooling gels: they are instantly absorbed, have an easy moisturizing and deodorizing effect and give a feeling of pleasant coolness for the whole day.
Put a cooling spray in the cosmetic bag
The effect of chilling in a vial is akin to thermal water for the face - refreshes, tones, and it can be applied directly to pantyhose.
Enjoy a soothing foot bath. In cool water, add essential oil of mint or eucalyptus (perfectly relieve fatigue and swelling), or effervescent balls with relaxing extracts of lavender or rosemary. Good and special salts for the feet, which quickly relieve fatigue and soften the skin.
Make an easy foot massage
It is desirable - with a suitable cream for the feet. For dry skin, the foot, prone to peeling, is suitable, for example, nutritious. If there are cracks, special pharmacy ointments (prescribed by a dermatologist or a slogan) or healing creams (Gehwol, Vichy) should be applied on them. If even in the heat your feet remain cold, you can use a special warming balm, which improves blood circulation. More versatile are light moisturizing emulsions (Mavala).
With a strong swelling of the legs, even Venotonics are good, with extracts of ginkgo biloba, horse chestnut, currant leaves and red grapes, routine (vitamin P). They strengthen the vessels, protect against varicose veins. He will be protected from him by the favorite reception of American managers - throwing his feet on the table.
Treat the feet with peeling
This will help prolong the life of the pedicure and soften the skin. To do this, you should apply a scrub, or gently rub the heels with pumice stone, or grind-polished with emery or ceramic coating. They gently remove the keratinized skin, but do not provoke its gross build-up. After that, apply a foot cream or pamper them with a mask. Particularly good special, from blue clay or with extracts of sea salt and eucalyptus. Do this a couple of times a week.
Finishing work
In the summer, a pedicure is held every two to three weeks. It is better to entrust this process to a professional - he will not allow himself to saw or cut off the excess, properly treat the feet with disinfected tools.
The advantage of visiting salons for foot care is in the breadth of choice. There you can offer a lot of tempting options for a pleasant procedure. Classic edged, hardware or European, spa pedicure in various variations - sea, honey, pink, etc.
The European version is suitable for no problem legs - without significant calluses, corns and cracks. In the hardware special machine with various nozzles, the coarsely healed skin and cuticle are alternately removed, polished and softened by the skin.
In general, the pedicure consists of several basic manipulations that you can take into service if you want to put your feet in order yourself.
Mitigation
With the help of a warm bath, the removal of keratinized cells and cuticles is facilitated. To do this, special effervescent tablets, salts, liquids and foams are added to the water (Bishoff, Allessandro, Gehwol). Dabble in the tub - no more than 10 minutes.
Getting rid of calluses on your own, you risk injuring your foot
Cleansing
The evil started - a scrub. Legs are distinguished by fairly large particles (salt, bones, crystals, volcanic rocks), they well remove coarse skin. The scrub is applied by gentle massage movements and thoroughly rubbed on the foot, then washed off. Sometimes professionals supplement the peeling stop with special serums, which additionally soften the coarsened skin. Some girls are not certified how to keep their legs healthy and beautiful, but our experts will help them understand this.
After that, the feet are treated with pumice or polishing file (in the hardware pedicure - grinding nozzles). If there are calluses and corns. Their fate depends on the degree of seriousness. Independently get rid of them undesirable - risking provoking even more severe coarsening of the skin, traumatizing the foot and bringing the infection. The botanist can remove the master pedicure, but the problem of calluses is better solved together with the doctor-forgery.
Cuticle treatment
The softening gel or solution is applied to the cuticle and after a few minutes it is cut (in classical pedicure), moved away with an orange stick (in European), gently polished (in the hardware).
Food
Applying a mask or nutritious cream with a light massage. This will nourish the skin, fix the effect of the pedicure and make it more durable.
Application of varnish
Before applying the base, the nails are wiped off with a nail polish remover to dry and degrease them. It is better to use a special basis for leveling the surface of the nail. If you love the naturalness, you can limit yourself to experimenting with colored coatings. Now in favor - like a delicate pastel (beige, soft pink, lavender, pistachio), and juicy shades (cherry, red poppy, coral, blackberries). The varnish is applied in two layers, the first one to be allowed to dry thoroughly. In the end - transparent fixer-drying.
Write down for a pedicure in the evening, after which do not make long promenades. Freshly processed skin is easier to rub. If you are going to a spa, do a pedicure about a week before your departure.
Care in Swiss
After touching the tweezers there are scratches? Alas, they are not aesthetic and unsafe. Even if the tools are well disinfected, street dust can get into the wound - in summer we often sport in open sandals. Therefore, the advantages of the European pedicure are obvious: it does not use metal tools, the cuticle is delicately removed with the help of cosmetic preparations and a wooden stick. He - a find for those who have close blood vessels. Moreover, cutting off the manipulation of the toenails on your own feet is almost impossible to accomplish, so that everything is without a hitch, without a hitch. But you can take care of your fingers in a European way and yourself.
The highlight of non-edged pedicure is in progressive means. I passed a master class on the program Mavala. Among the know-how of this leading Swiss firm is everything that the legs need.
In a command from Mavala - a concentrate for foot baths, which includes eucalyptus and pine oil. This product has strong deodorizing and antiseptic properties. In addition, such a bath is a wonderful emollient, it makes the skin silky and makes it easy to remove calluses. In the special forces of beauty - and a cream-scrub to remove dead cells. After its application, the skin of the feet becomes soft and supple due to the content of microparticles of seaweed in it. And that the legs were always soft and silky, the master advised me to use this scrub once a week, and - both on wet and dry skin.
Another assistant is talcum, which deodorizes and removes excess moisture. And an excellent remedy is a moisturizing gel deodorant. He relieves fatigue from his feet and prevents her from arising during the day. By the way, after its application, the feet in the shoes will not slide. And a cream-scrub, and a gel-deodorant, and talc is used both for a pedicure, and for daily care of feet.
