Classical edged pedicure is still the most urgent service for skin care and nails on the legs, despite the variety of procedures presented in the salons. Of course, it is better to entrust pedicure to a specialist, but at home you can independently monitor the beauty of your legs.
In order to make an edging pedicure at home, you will need warm water, a manicure kit, and a special foot cream. The procedure itself in the performance is simple, but requires certain skills and accuracy. Careless cutting of the cuticle can cause the appearance of burrs and cuts, and with a strong cutting of the skin around the nail, there is a risk of damaging the blood vessels, so that the cuticle eventually thickens and will grow faster. When processing the steamed prepared skin of the heels, there is also the possibility of injuries, which will cause increased regeneration and stamping of skin cells.
How to make an edged pedicure?
First remove the remnants of the old nail polish. Dry nails are treated with a manicure set, give the desired shape, pencil the edges, polish the surface of the nails. To soften the stale skin of the foot, you can use a special cream. Now it was the turn of the foot bath. Some people prefer to do a bath first, and then all the other procedures. In any case, no matter what kind of procedure you choose, the duration of the "bathing" of the legs should be about 20 minutes, and sea salt or herbs can be added to the water. Then heal the heel with a coarse pumice stone, and for the feet it is better to use a soft one. The next step is to remove the "dead" skin around the nails. For this, it is most convenient to use a rough nail file, but not metal one. With an orange stick clean the nail bed, move the cuticle, and then cut it with the help of special tweezers. The method of removing coarse skin from the razor's feet will not only provide for an accelerated regeneration of skin cells and even greater hardening, but also increases the risk of injury if the tool is used inadvertently. To finish the pedicure, the nails are covered with varnish, and the feet are lubricated with a nutritious cream.
Hardware or edged pedicure?
Now the technology of hardware adjustment of legs is getting more and more popular. The main difference between this procedure and the classic edged pedicure is the use of a machine with various nozzles instead of nail files, tweezers and other more familiar tools. Dead skin cells are easily removed by rotating at high speed nozzles. The master will be able to soften the skin of the legs, not steaming them, and applying a cream, rid you of calluses and corns, remove the cuticle, give the necessary form to the nails and even polish the feet. It is worth noting that with hardware pedicure, the risk of damaging living tissues is much less than in the case of classical pedicure.
Despite the advantages of high-tech processing of legs, it is difficult to make such a pedicure at home. Machines for domestic and professional use have significant differences in power. Carefully read the instructions that came with the device before attempting to do so yourself. Reading additional literature on methods of hardware pedicure will help to fully use the capabilities of the device and understand the nozzles and the field of their application.
Maintaining the beauty of the legs does not take a lot of time and effort, and regular use of a special foot cream will make the skin of your feet silky and pleasant to the touch.
