Give Yourself a Spa Quality Pedicure at Home!
Now that summer is here giving yourself a pedicure once a month will keep your feet looking healthier and more attractive. In the
summer time when feet are exposed to the weather, pool and beach, your feet will benefit from a good pedicure.
Start your pedicure by soaking away stress. Fill your tub or foot bath with warm water and Raw Earth's fizzing mineral soak that naturally cleanses and deodorizes your feet. Let the aroma-therapeutic benefits of natural grapefruit, calendula, lavendar, sandalwood and peppermint oils revitalize you.
Next banish dead skin and calluses with Raw Earth's triple-action exfoliation. Massage the exfoliating foot scrub into the bottoms of your feet. Leave the scrub on, and use a pumice-like surface to buff down calluses and slough away dead skin cells. Rinse your feet with cool water.
Trim toenails, cutting them in a square shape to prevent ingrown nails. Gently push back cuticles with an orange stick. Never cut your cuticles -- they are necessary for keeping bacteria from entering the skin. For extreme treatment for even the most painfully dry and irritated cuticles try Qtica's intense cuticle repair balm.
Don't forget to moisturize and massage. Dry off your feet with towel and apply a stimulating massage oil. Massage in long upward strokes, moving from your toes to your calves. For dry, sore, cracked, irritated and callused feet try an intense foot repair balm.
Finish with polish. Apply a base coat and two coats of your favorite polish, followed by a top coat. Let your nails dry for at least half an hour, then rub a dab of OPI nail & cuticle replenishing oil into your cuticles and nail beds to moisturize them.
