Myths and truth about pedicure

Pedicure is a very common cosmetic procedure. Any self-respecting girl regularly takes care of the nails on the legs and, it would seem, everyone knows everything about the pedicure. But it turns out that many of us, believing in all kinds of myths and prejudices, commit gross violations in the technique of pedicure. This can entail even serious health problems. What are these myths? About them and we'll talk below.


Myth 1: The noggin's legs need to be cut very shortly, otherwise they will grow.

In fact, you can afford to have your toenails on the legs of the length that you calculate beautiful, if it does not cause you any discomfort. Do not grow nails because of excessive length, anoeverage, because of "busting" with cutting or cutting corners. Nails cut properly, only slightly rounding at the sides. The most convenient way to do this is with the help of special tools or manicure scissors. If the tool is of high quality, then it will allow you to cut through the nail exactly across the nail plate - that's what the experts say. Also, you need to pay special attention to your shoes. Often, the nail will not turn out because of the fact that it was improperly sheared, but also because of close shoes with pointed noses. So, choosing a model, do not forget about the comfortable and free position of the fingers.

Myth 2: It is better to cut the rake with a razor.

Very widespread and extremely dangerous delusion. Sharp razor in clumsy hands - a serious cold weapon, which can cause a gentle foot injury. In addition, the skin after cutting will become even rougher, overgrown on top in several layers. The skin need not be cut, but softened and soaked with special creams. There are no traumatic, but quite safe ways. For example, there are files with varying degrees of abrasiveness. They can also be used to shape the nail plate. For the prevention of burrs also have to check their shoes, refusing the shoes at too high a heel. It is these heels that are the most common cause of such problems.

Myth 3: To grow nails on legs is a sign of bad taste.

In fact, when it comes to the build-up of nails on the legs, it is not their elongation, the improvement of their appearance, the smoothing of defects in the nail plate. This is especially important for women with exfoliating nails, especially in summer, when they do not leave the house without open shoes. The procedure of building up is carried out not only for purely aesthetic reasons. Covering the nail protects it from mechanical minor injuries, which is important for owners of a weak nail plate, prone to damage. Now there are new materials with additional properties, for example bioacryl, not only masking the shortcomings of the nails, but also restoring the nail plate. The procedure for crushing will also help to solve the problem with ingrown nails, since during the simulation, the nail is stretched and the direction of its growth changes.

Myth 4: The pedicure is needed only in the summer.

In korneenejustno consider pedicure only seasonal care. Of course, in the summer our feet are visible, but the load on them is approximately the same in winter and in summer. If they do not pay attention for several months, then it will be difficult to achieve the result even after three or four procedures. But if you do a pedicure all the time, then your feet will always be perfect.

The master will always notice the problem at the earliest stage, being able to prevent its development.

Myth 5: It's best to make an edged pedicure.

Many are confident that a truly flawless skin can be made with the help of a blade and a rigid metal file. This is a long-obsolete view of things. In our days, hardware repair, which was once exotic, has won a leading position. The hardware variant of this procedure is much more hygienic - the risk of cuts and any infection is reduced to zero. In addition, the skin on the legs is not steamed, so that masterfully sees the boundaries between the young skin and the keratinized skin. He will not remove the excess weight and will not hurt you. During the same edged pedicure, this is inevitable. After steaming, to distinguish between "new" and "old" skin, it is very difficult. The master takes more than necessary, and the skin then tries to recover actively, increasing twice as fast.

The main purpose of spa care is a deeper and more thorough treatment of the skin of the feet and nails. In the summer, for example, cooling care is popular. Just imagine: in the evening, especially if all day you spent on his heels, his legs swell and hurt. If in the making is just a simple pedicure, and SPA-care with a light "chill" effect, then you will fly after him.
