The Perfect Home Pedicure by Lynn K

Lets face it our feet take one awful beating each and everyday. Perhaps that’s why after a good pedicure they feel wonderful, because of the before and after contrast. The following will take you through a step by step home pedicure where you can let the items you use do the work for you, and you can enjoy the effects.

Step One:
Gather up all the products you are going to need which are 2 large pan (or footbath).2 towels, a pumice stone, a body scrub, nail file, foot file, scissors, and foot cream.

Step Two:
It would be ideal if you had a proper footbath with all the features like the massager and the heat control. If not then two large, deep pans will work just fine. Fill the first pan with comfortably warm water, and the second one a little warmer because it will sit for a while before you get to use it.

Step Three:
Start by soaking both feet in the first pan of water. Soak them for about five minutes while you just sit back and enjoy. Then take one foot out and in a circular motion gently rub the foot scrub over the entire foot, both top and bottom. Put this foot back into the same water and repeat for the other foot.

Step Four:
Wet your pumice stone and shake off the excess water. Working on the one foot damp dry it and gently work the pumice stone over the callused areas of your foot. If your feet are heavily callused, do not attempt to remove it all at one. This will require several pedicures. Make sure you keep the pumice stone damp but not dripping wet. You don’t want it too dry or it will create friction and could make the calluses painful.

Step Five:
Rinse both feet well, and push aside the first pan of water and put the second pan in front of you. Now soak both feet for two or three minutes. This is your rinse water. Take out one foot dry and cut your toe nails straight across. File them with the soft side of the nail file to remove any rough edges. Put this foot back in the water and repeat for the other foot.

Step Six:
Take one foot out of the water dry and gentle use the foot file over the heavy built up areas of skin on the bottom and sides of the feet. Use the coarse side of the file first then the smooth side. Put this foot back in the water and rinse well. Repeat for the other foot.

Step Seven.
Dry both feet well especially between the toes. Now give both your feet a thorough massage with your foot cream. Be careful when you stand up as the cream will make your feet slippery, and you don’t want to fall.
