You don't need to visit an expensive spa to have beautiful feet. You can give yourself a great foot makeover at home with a little time and effort—and a few items from Kerasal® Intensive Foot Repair Line.
This article will teach you how to give yourself a home pedicure in simple steps. Following additional foot care suggestions may even have folks thinking you spent a fortune at a luxury spa.
A Step-by-step Guide to Starting Your Foot Care Routine at Home
Step 1 – Start by removing your nail polish
Stripping nail polish helps you check your toes for diseases like onychomycosis (nail fungus) or hangnails. It is preferable to use a non-acetone polish remover. Acetone-based polish removers are very harsh on the nails, causing weakening and the creation of unattractive ridges.
You should give your toes a rest from nail polish now and again. Constantly painting your toes may cause them to discolor, generally with a reddish or yellowish tint. If your nails do develop colors, you should keep them naked for a few weeks. They should be back to their usual hue in no time.
Step 2 – Foot soak
A 15 to 20-minute calming foot bath can do wonders for your feet, whether they are painful or not. Aromatherapy oils may be added to the tub of water if desired, but they are not required. Soaking your feet can soften the thick, rough layers of skin on your heels, toes, and balls of your feet and release dry scales.
Use warm water instead of boiling water. Hot water may cause the skin to become dry and cracked since it drains moisture from the skin's outermost protective layer.
After the bath, gently cleanse your toes with a toenail brush.
Step 3 – Deal with corns and calluses
After the foot soak, carefully remove corns and calluses using a pumice stone, emery board, or callus file. It may take a few cuts to get rid of all of the tough skin. Be careful not to injure your skin by cutting or filing it too deeply.
Calluses may be removed to help prevent fractures from developing, but too much cutting can cause the skin to break if pressure is applied to thin tissues. This not only causes pain and bleeding but also raises the possibility of infection. Remember that you want to get rid of dead skin cells, not healthy tissue.
Don't attempt to remove calluses and corns in one session if it's been a long time between pedicures. (You may not be able to, anyhow.) Instead, divide the work into two or three treatments every four to six weeks.
Step 4 – Trimming your nails
Trim your toenails using a stainless steel nail nipper. To avoid over-trimming, cut your toes straight across. Then, using an emery board, softly round the corners.
You may press your cuticles back, but be sure not to cut them. Most dermatologists will advise you that cutting your cuticles (also known as the eponychium) is unnecessary. Not only does cutting cuticles increase the danger of breaking and bleeding, but it also allows germs and fungus easy access to the nail bed. Afterwards, you can use kerasal nail care products.
If you see discoloration or ridging in your nails [onychomycosis], you may want to try a medicated nail polish that is harder to remove or a topical antifungal. Many individuals swear by tea tree oil as a natural remedy, but the effects aren't always consistent.
Step 5 – Waxing
Your feet will feel extremely soft after a paraffin wax treatment. The warmth of the wax stimulates blood flow and opens pores in the skin. Your pores may absorb more moisture when they are open.
For foot wax treatments, always use food-grade paraffin. Stearic acid, coloring, and scents might raise the melting point of the wax and cause skin discomfort.
A portable paraffin wax bath may be purchased online or from specific brick-and-mortar businesses. The gadgets can keep the wax temperature from rising over 125 degrees Fahrenheit. There are also pre-packaged paraffin wax kits available to spare you the trouble of breaking down a huge block of wax and melting it in a double boiler.
Wrap your feet in a towel after the wax bath has started to cool to prolong the soothing heat.
