Pedicure and manicure is a small beauty project that seems simple but actually requires skills. Not only can it keep your toes clean and tidy, but it can also make your toes healthier. The following will introduce some basic steps for pedicure and manicure:

1. Soak your feet

Before pedicure and manicure, you must first put your feet into a basin filled with warm water and soak them for a while. , the purpose is to soften cuticles and nails and clean the foot skin. It is best to use some warm water with foot bath medicine or plant essence added, which can sterilize, deodorize and relieve fatigue. The recommended foot soaking time is generally 10 minutes.

2. Clean the cuticles

After soaking the feet, you need to gently scrape off the cuticles of the feet with tools such as a sanding board, especially the heels and soles. However, be careful not to exfoliate too hard or too frequently to avoid injury or irritation of excessive growth of cuticles. Generally, cleaning once a week is enough.

3. Cut your toenails

After cleaning the cuticles, you can use special pedicure scissors to cut your nails. First, make sure the scissors are clean and sharp to avoid injuring your toes or leaving jagged sections. When cutting your nails, it is best not to cut them too short at one time. You can reserve some length first, and then slowly trim them to the ideal length and shape.

4. Organize the nail edge

After cutting the nails, you need to use a needle to scrape the nail edge and check whether there are any residues or other problems around it. When treating the nail edge, do not scratch the skin under the nail, as this can easily lead to pain and inflammation. After cleaning, you can use a nail edge knife to cut off the excessive length to keep the area around the nail edge smooth.

5. Polish your nails

If you feel that your nails are not very smooth after cutting, or there is a lot of cuticle residue, you can use a sander to polish the edges to make them smoother. However, it should be noted that you should be gentle when polishing, especially the surface that directly contacts the nails, otherwise the nails will be easily injured.

6. Care for your feet

After sorting your toes, you need to do some maintenance for your feet. You can apply some foot cream or moisturizing oil to keep the skin of your feet moist, and apply some transparent nail protection oil to seal the newly cut nails to prevent them from deforming or developing hangnails and other problems.

In short, manicure requires skill and meticulous operation, and each step needs to be completed with great care and patience. As long as you master these basic steps and practice diligently, everyone can easily complete beautiful toe care.
