Pedicure Tips

Some tips for Pedicure:

 

 

* Remove the nail polish from toenails.

* Fill tub or footbath with warm-not hot-water.

* Add bath salts and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

* The salts soften dry skin and calluses, and olive oil moisturizes the skin. Soak feet for 15 to 20 minutes.

* Thoroughly dry your feet with a clean towel.

* Trim toenails, cutting them straight across to prevent ingrown nails. Gently push back cuticles with an orange stick. Don't cut your cuticles, just gently push them back. Cuticles are necessary to prevent bacteria from entering the skin.

* Moisturize your entire foot-including your cuticles and in between your toes-with a good foot cream. Massage cream into skin.

* Apply a clear polish to your toenails. Wait a few minutes until the polish is dry.
* Apply a color polish to your toenails. For more intense color, repeat.
* Apply a clear polish to help prevent chipping.
* Clean up stray color with a Q-tip dipped in nail polish remover.
