Pedicure is both convenient and aesthetically pleasing. Of course, it is always easier to turn to professionals, after visiting which the nails and feet become like a baby’s. But if you wish, you can do a pedicure on your own. Consider the basic rules that women often neglect during the procedure at home. These principles will allow you to perform pedicures quickly and efficiently.

Rule number 1. Thorough disinfection of instruments

The foundation of any cosmetology procedure - both home and salon - disinfection of tools. Tweezers, scissors and all kinds of nozzles must be thoroughly cleaned. The fact that only one person uses the items does not mean that disinfection can be neglected. Before and after the procedure, all instruments should be cleaned.

Rule number 2. Squaring the nails

To prevent the ingrowth of the nail plate into the skin, it is recommended to give to the nails (especially on the thumbs) square instead of oval. Even if, despite the appropriate shape, the nail grows, it will be useful to visit a doctor. In this case, do not try to get rid of the ingrown nail on your own. Otherwise, the situation will worsen.

Rule number 3. Do not cut the cuticle

For obvious reasons, many people do not find independent pedicure particularly convenient. After all, it is more difficult for a layman to process a cuticle of nails.

To avoid damage and infection of the nails, it is recommended simply slightly push back the cuticle, and not try to remove it completely. Immerse your feet in hot water for a while with the oils or salt dissolved in it.When the cuticle softens, gently push it back with an orange stick. Fast, easy, and most importantly, safe.

Rule No. 4. Use of basic coverage

So that the nails are not damaged, and the pedicure lasts longer, do not forget to use the base coat. Choose a tool that strengthens nails - it doesn’t hurt!

Rule number 5. Do not apply varnish immediately after the bath

Nails absorb liquid during water procedures, and this makes them slightly wider. To make the pedicure last longer Do not apply the base coat and varnish immediately after steaming. Wait 10-15 minutes for the nails to dry.
