Every woman should make a pedicure, not only for the beauty of well-groomed legs (although a beautiful foot is a great mood and self-confidence), but also for health - according to Japanese medicine, it is on the soles of the feet that the nerve endings are responsible for this or that internal body. By removing the overgrown skin on the soles of the feet, you essentially cleanse the body, making breathing easier. Therefore, if you do not know how to learn to do pedicure at home yourself, then read the article.
How often it is necessary to do a pedicure depends on the woman's desire, the availability of time and features of the nails and the skin of the legs. With the rapid buildup of the skin on the legs, the pedicure should be done as often as possible, but if the skin of the legs is dry and thin, you can resort to this procedure only once a month.
How to learn to do pedicure at home quickly and painlessly? First of all, careful preparation of the feet is needed. Fill the basin with hot water, put a toilet soap on it, rubbed on a fine grater. You can add a little baking soda and ammonia to soften the nails and skin on the toes. Someone is accustomed to adding vegetable oil to the water or making herbal, coniferous, sea baths, but in any case the legs should be well steam out before the main procedure.
From time to time, pour hot water into the basin with water. When you feel that the skin on your legs has been steamed up properly, you can start to work on the skin. Determine the skin condition is easy - it should acquire a gentle pink color. Heel and sole are rubbed with a piece of fine-grained pumice - you can also use a medium-hard brush in circular motions. You can use a special cleansing peeling for the feet, which will help remove the keratinized skin particles. Rinse your feet with water. You can start a pedicure after 20-30 minutes.

Excessively thick and firm nails on the legs signal an excess of calcium in the body.

Do not attempt to remove an ingrown toenail yourself, if it disturbs you very much, so as not to infect the infection. Consult a doctor or an experienced pedicure specialist who will remove the ingrown edges professionally.
To trim the nails on the toes correctly, in a straight line, it is recommended to remove the nail corners after steaming with special manicure tweezers.

The accumulated cells and contamination from under the nails are regularly removed with a dull wand of wood or bone. Do this carefully so as not to damage the inner surface of the nail and its natural fat pad.
When removing the rough surface of the nail with a nail file, use a more gentle, soft nail file to preserve the nail enamel.
Nail files can be cut in any direction. Constant motion of the file, then in one direction, then into the other, leads to the fact that the horny substance of the nails begins to crumble, and they become brittle. So nail down only in one direction, namely - from the edges to the center. It concerns also care of fingernails or nails on arms or hand.
