The Perfect Pedicure
Finally the outdoor season has begun for our feet. No more thick boots and stuffy socks. But after the long winter sleep are heels, toes and nails are not always in top form. Thus they are a nice eye-catcher in open shoes such as sandals or flip flops. Our feet need now a spring fresh pedicure. It’s easy and fast at home. We show, including what steps and what beauty helpers you need it.
Cut properly
Sure you can grab the nail scissors to cut the toenails. However, who wants to prevent fine grooves in the nail. You should work with the file. A sapphire or sandy sheet file is much gentler than metal. So that nothing tears, always file in one direction only!
The nails themselves should be spade-shaped and conform to the shape of the toe. Round off the corners slightly, but not strong polish, otherwise the nail could grow.
Extra care & protect
In summer nail polish a must, because they look well-kept than nails without polish. However, the color you should never apply the mixture directly, or else face discoloration of the nail plate.
Use a nourishing base coat, because this protects the nail and makes the colored paint more durable. Discoloration and grooves previously back with a polishing file to the body. Insert from time to paint breaks!
Reduce cuticle
Even if it goes faster with scissors – always push back overgrown cuticles with a rubber or wooden stick, otherwise it proliferates even more so. That’s easy, if this was previously softened with a cuticle remover or foot bath.
By the way: Regular peeling makes your feet not only soft to the touch, it also keeps the cuticles in check.
Get rid of cornea
Cracked heels and fissures are not uncommon after a long winter, but also in the middle of summer. The good news: you can quickly even with a mine Ralf hurry or a pumice stone.
The Emery effect only works if the skin is dry and not swollen. The soothing foot bath (10 min., 28 degrees) and therefore appear only in the connection. Hands off the cornea planer. It leaves the corneal irregular grow and can cause injury.
Tip: Better under heavy keratinization of the skin on your feet to professional pedicure!
