Steps to a Perfect Pedicure |
• Remove old polish and examine feet for any nail or foot disorders.
• Soak feet for 5-10 minutes in a warm, vibrating footbath that has an
aromatic, disinfectant solution. Try this one... 1 Tablespoons baking soda
and 10 drops of your favorite essential oil.
• Remove dead skin with an exfoliating cream. Callused skin should be treated
with a moisturizing product, and then gently buffed with an exfoliating tool.
It should never be cut or shaved off.
• Hydrate cuticles with cuticle cream, then pushed back from the nail platewith an orangewood stick.
• Trim toenails and file, with corners gently rounded to prevent them from
growing into the corners of the surrounding tissue.
• The highlight of any pedicure is the soothing foot and leg massage (to the
knee) that relaxes tired muscles and promotes circulation.
• Finally, apply polish. Try a French manicure or colorful nail art for added
appeal!

Use a loofah sponge to exfoliate tops, sides and bottom of your feet. Remember to
scrub all of your toes too. After drying with a fluffy towel, apply your favorite
moisturizer generously and then put on a thick (heated from the dryer) pair of
socks on for a pampered feeling.
