1. Preparing the space: silence, order and everything at hand
First, prepare everything you need. A basin with warm water, a towel, salt or foot bath, scrub, rasp, scissors, file, cuticle pusher, cream and polish. Ensure a calm environment. Everything you need should be accessible to make the process smooth and enjoyable.
2. Foot bath: softening and relaxing
Add salt and a few drops of essential oil to warm water. Soak your feet for 10-15 minutes. This step softens the skin, releases tension and prepares the nails and heels for further treatment. The bath is the basic stage of any effective pedicure – it relaxes, softens and cleanses.
3. Hard skin removal: smoothness without exaggeration
After bathing, pat your skin dry and use a rasp or stone. Focus on heels and other hard areas. Don’t apply too much pressure – the goal is to gradually achieve a smooth surface, not damage it. Regularity is more important than intensity.
4. Nail design: clean, simple, precise
Trim your nails with scissors or nippers – straight, not rounded, to prevent ingrown toenails. File in one direction for smooth edges. Push back the cuticles, without cutting. This will prevent micro-trauma and preserve the natural protection.
5. Feeding and massage: a necessity, not pampering
Apply a nourishing cream or oil and massage your feet thoroughly. Focus on your heels, toes and arches. This massage is not only pleasant – it helps with circulation, softens the skin and improves your well-being. It is also recommended to do your pedicure without polish.
6. Finish with varnish (optional): final shine
Add polish for a polished look. Use a base coat, two coats of color, and a top coat. Choose a color based on your style and season. Classic Red, soft beige, vibrant summer or colorless elegance – any choice is good as long as the application is clean and the drying is thorough.
