   Let's take a closer look at how to make a pedicure yourself, but it is very important to follow the technique of performing the procedure so as not to infect the infection and not to harm your health.

   The first stage of is steaming. Heat the water, pour into the bath, add a little liquid mil or shower gel, a couple drops of any essential oil or cosmetic salt and lower the legs for 15-20 minutes. Do not steam off your feet in too hot water, otherwise the skin will be too soft and it will be difficult to process it - the optimum temperature is 400C.When the skin becomes soft and acquires a pink tint - your legs are ready for further action.

   

   The second stage of is the removal of keratinized skin particles. It is necessary to perform this procedure carefully and thoughtfully. Dry your feet with a towel and proceed to further processing. You can choose one of the options that suits you the most. If the skin of the feet is coarsened strongly, you should use a rigid pedicure nail file.

   Fine-grained pumice is much more gentle to use and suitable for women with sensitive skin. If you do a pedicure regularly, at least every three weeks, treatment with a special scrub will be enough. Cosmetic professional scrub can be replaced by home, based on semolina or soda, with the addition of olive oil, cream, essential oils - a variety of combinations are possible, depending on your imagination and skin features of the feet. We treat the skin with soft circular movements, until it becomes smooth, pleasant to the touch.

   

   The third stage of is cuticle treatment. Right after scrubbing, while the skin is still steamed, we'll cuticle. Cut the cuticle on the toes can not, as it contributes to the introduction of infections to which the legs are exposed much more than their hands. On the cuticle, apply a special oil to soften, wait 5-10 minutes( the time may vary depending on the composition - follow the instructions on the package), carefully move the cuticles with an orange stick.

   

   The fourth stage of - pruning and polishing of nails. Trim the nails on the leg only in a straight line. Also, you do not need to crop the corners, they can only be processed with a little nail file. Incorrect circumcision can lead to ingrown nails with all the unpleasant consequences. Carefully cut the nails in a straight line, process the edges and corners of the nail file, you can help yourself with special finger separators. At the end, polish the marigold with a polishing file.

   

   The last stage of the is massage and coating. Apply on your legs your favorite cream or oil, gently massage, remove excess with a napkin. In fact, the pedicure is ready, it remains only to cover the nails with varnish, although you can completely limit yourself to polishing. If you still decide to use the lacquer - before coating, do not forget to degrease your nails.

   Neutral shades or a French pedicure are most suitable for cover. But you can rely on your own imagination and develop your own design. If you are no longer a beginner in manicure, then you will be able to such a fashion trend as gel-lacquer or a beautiful pedicure with rhinestones.
