Manicure and pedicure are important not only for beauty but also for the cleanliness of hands and feet. Regular manicures and pedicures are important to remove dead cells and make the skin soft and radiant. In addition, if there is a tendency to smell in the hands or feet, it is also reduced with regular care.
Manicure and pedicure at least twice a month gradually reduce the roughness of the hands and feet. This care can be taken at home, with the help of a professional organization if needed. The one who develops such excellent habits in maintaining the cleanliness of hands and feet feels a great freshness within himself.
Equipment
You can buy special brushes for manicures and pedicures. You can also use a used or new toothbrush if you want. Keep buffers and nail cleaning machines (special tools) if you’re doing the work at home.
Step 1: Dip one foot into warm running water. Keep your feet dipped as far above the ankles as possible. If you want, you can add a little glycerin and Savlon.
Step 2: Dip hands and feet in this solution. Depending on the skin type and need, this dipping can take 5 minutes to 40 minutes. 5-6 minutes if the skin of hands and feet is very sensitive, and 30-40 minutes if the skin is very rough. You can listen to your favourite songs or see pictures during this waiting time.
Step 3: Clean the skin by rubbing it with a brush.
Step 4: Cut the nails with a nail clipper. If there is any part of the skin growing around the corners of the nails or a dead part of the skin, carefully remove it with the help of a small tool (special ‘tool for cleaning nails’).
Step 5: Scrubbing. If you have a scrub, you can use it. You can make a scrub by mixing one teaspoon of sour curd and one teaspoon of oats at home. However, if the skin is rough, it is better to use a mixture of 2 teaspoons of sour yoghurt, one teaspoon of oats and one teaspoon of sugar.
Step 6: Rinse well with lukewarm water.
Step 6: Apply moisturizer.
Step 6: Rub nails with a buffer. Nails will look bright and shiny. But if you want to apply nail polish, it is different. Applying nail polish after using buffer increases the tendency of nails to decay. So, it is better to arrange the nails directly without using a buffer in this case.
