As for the shortcomings, they are practically nonexistent.

It is also undesirable to carry out sessions for people who have a thin nail plate.

In order for the legs to please a well-groomed look, it is necessary to periodically do a pedicure. Hardware processing of the feet is carried out, as a rule, in specialized salons, but if at home there is all the necessary equipment, then the procedure is quite realistic to carry out independently. The cosmetic session is carried out step by step as follows.

• First of all, it is necessary to wash the foot well, treat it with an antiseptic and wipe it dry. If the nails are too long, then you need to shorten them.
• Then, a thin layer with a keratolytic brush should be applied to the skin with a brush, it will help soften the foot. The duration of the drug is no more than 10 minutes. Keratolytic actively affects the cells of the epidermis and promotes rapid exfoliation of the stratum corneum. It is best to choose products based on grape or lactic acid. You can’t open your legs in hot water during the procedure, since the skin will swell and absorb liquid, which will complicate the treatment.Before the session, it is enough to simply perform a hygienic bath at a water temperature of no more than +36 degrees.

• After that, the master needs to put on a protective mask and clean the feet of the emollient. First, a 60 × 60 coarse abrasive nozzle is used, it is put on the holder and fixed. The stop must be processed at a speed of not more than 12,000 revolutions. Next, the feet skin is polished; for this, the nozzle is changed to a finely abrasive size of 100 × 100. At this stage, it is important to polish the epidermis well, but this should be done carefully: if you remove the skin layer unevenly, you will get a “fringe”, and if you “cut” it, you can damage the skin.
• At the end of polishing, the foot should turn pink with a slight yellowish tint. All residues of the softener are removed from it. As a rule, this is done using warm water, it is sprayed with a spray gun. After cleaning, the feet are wiped dry and begin to process areas between the toes. Since constant sweating and pollution is observed in these places, the treatment must be carried out carefully using a ceramic spray nozzle, which has the appearance of a cropped cone. The frieze should work at a speed of 10,000 rpm.

• Next, the nozzle is changed to polishing fine-grained and at the same speed of rotation, the remains of the keratinized layer are removed from the feet. The feet are washed again with warm water and dried with a towel.
• The next step is the care of the cuticle. A special roller is put on the device and grinding is performed by the milling cutter at a speed of 10,000 rpm. It is worth paying attention to the fact that during the procedure, the cuticle cannot be cut and moved away, it is simply treated with a diamond nozzle, which looks like a small ball. The cutter is carefully carried out on the cuticle from one side to the other, while you do not need to try to click on it. The result is a smooth and even surface that needs to be cleaned of contaminants and sprayed with an antiseptic.
• After this, the polishing of the nail plates is carried out. At the end of the session, nourishing oils are applied to the nails, cuticles and feet and rubbed into the skin with smooth movements. Next, a felt polishing nozzle is installed and the nails are given a gloss effect. Polishing is carried out at a speed of 5000 rpm.
• The final step will be rubbing non-greasy cream and light massage.
