To do this, a foot bath is made with a special emollient composition, which helps soften the hardened areas of the feet.

Then, procedures are performed that help to make the shape of the nail plates more symmetrical and attractive. To do this, the cuticle is removed, which was previously softened with the help of nutritious oil. Cuticle removal is one of the most difficult steps.

The final step is to apply varnish or a strengthening decorative agent that gives the nails a shine.

1. In many respects, the popularity of the classic pedicure is due to the fact that most of the procedures can be carried out independently at home. This allows you to reduce the cost of the master nail service. However, this will require you certain financial costs for the purchase of special nail tools, but you can use them all your life.

With a frantic daily rhythm and tight shoes on the legs of every third woman, the formation of corns or calluses occurs. You can get rid of them by resorting to a specialized sharp tool designed specifically for classic pedicure.

Of the shortcomings of the classic pedicure, there are several points.

1. Using a sharp pedicure tool always causes a certain risk of injury. In the case of a pedicure procedure at home, you must first familiarize yourself with the rules for its use.
2. Before you begin cosmetic and hygienic measures to care for the nail plate on your feet, be sure to sanitize all the devices necessary for performing a trim pedicure.

If you contacted a specialized salon, be sure to pay attention to the conditions under which the procedure is carried out. Factors such as the availability of disposable tools and disinfection carried out after each client indicate that you have a good salon that cares about its reputation and the health of customers.

Actually, before the classical pedicure procedure is carried out, there are a number of measures for treating the skin of the legs and the nail plate. With the help of specialized manicure devices, the nail plate is cleaned and treated, calluses are removed if necessary, the nail plate and rough skin on the legs are polished and polished, the nail plate and the skin of the legs are treated with various cosmetics (removing unnecessary hair from the toes, shaping nail plate, scrub application and relaxing massage).

As mentioned earlier, you can do a classic pedicure on your own at home. The availability of expensive equipment that any successful nail salon can boast of is not necessary at all. For home hygiene and cosmetic procedures for nail care, a standard manicure set will be enough. Instead of a special bath, use the help of a deep basin. Before you pamper your legs with pleasant procedures, carefully assess the condition of your legs and feet.

Cutting pedicure includes some procedures that can aggravate the condition of your legs.

So, first, wash your hands and feet thoroughly with soap or any disinfectant.

To sterilize manicure instruments using equipment, you will need a solution called Bacillol. In case of its absence, you can always carry out hot processing of tools. Next, prepare a bath for your legs.In order to make the process of softening the feet more effective, various cosmetics are added to the bathtub, which also help cleanse rough skin areas. For this purpose, essential oils, lemon juice, herbal tea, for example, infusions of chamomile, nettle, plantain or calendula, and any detergent (salt, bath foam or soap crumbs) are perfect. Place the legs in the prepared bath for five to ten minutes. After the time has passed, take your feet to the previously placed towel. Remove excess moisture from the surface of the feet with light movements.

After your legs have become clean and tender, you need to begin hygiene procedures. This article presents a step-by-step technology.

To begin, treat the feet with an antiseptic. At the same stage, the old coating is removed. If possible, use nail polish remover that does not contain acetone. It not only removes the old coating, but also makes significant changes to the upper layer of the nail plate, in connection with which the surface of the nail begins to exfoliate. Having resorted to the help of manicure scissors, adjust the length of the nails. This procedure requires you to be careful and accurate. Cut your nails so that they are approximately at the same level as your fingertips. This will help to avoid nails growing into the skin. If you have finger dividers, be sure to use them. Thanks to this device, processing of each finger will be much easier.

Apply a specialized product to the cuticle area.

By softening the skin in the area of ​​the base of the nail, you can calmly push it with an orange stick for manicure and later remove it using a special trimmer. When processing the feet, do not make excessively intense movements. Since your skin was previously steamed, the risk of injury is extremely high. Therefore, when grinding or polishing the feet, carry out your movements from the middle to the edges of the foot. After your feet and nails have received proper care, the final stage remains - shaping the nail plate, applying a special agent against fungus or cracks.
