How to do home pedicure – Do It Yourself

Hi Friends,

A couple of weeks ago I posted an article on VLCC Pedicure and Manicure hand foot care kit. That article contained the description of the products that were a part of the kit. Today, I will show you how to use those products for home pedicure. I have used it often; the after effects were really good, giving a parlor feel. For this tutorial I have used VLCC pedicure and manicure hand & foot care kit, however you can use any available products.

Step 1- Step 1 involves cleaning of toe nails. If you have applied any colored or transparent nail paint then take a good quality nail paint remover and a cotton pad to remove the nail paint.

Step 2-Fill 3/4th of a bucket with warm water. Add a pinch of table salt and some foot cleanser. I have used VLCC foot cleanser. If you do not have any foot cleanser then you can use shampoo or body wash. Dip your feet in the liquid for 15-20 minutes.

Step 3– After 15-20 minutes of dipping, take out your feet. Using an old tooth brush, you clean the toe nails. Pat the feet dry using a clean towel. Now, use a foot scrub (tool) to remove the dead skin.

Step 4– The next step is cuticle removal. Massage cuticle oil on toe nails for 2-3 minutes. If you do not have cuticle oil then you can use any other oil. This will soften the cuticles thereby helping in easy removal. Take a cuticle removal tool and carefully remove the cuticles.

Step 5- Take little quantity of a good quality foot scrub and exfoliate your feet for 10-12 minutes. I have used VLCC foot scrub but you can use any available foot scrub or body scrub. As long as the scrub has exfoliating properties it is good for pedicure.

Step 6- After scrubbing, either rinse off the scrub or pat the feet dry using a clean damp towel. Now, take a good quality foot cream and massage the feet & toe nails in circular motion for 5-7 minutes. After massaging, take a hot towel and wrap the feet in it for 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 7- Now, to remove the tan, take an anti-tan foot pack (I have used VLCC anti tan pack). Use a face pack brush to cover entire feet with this foot pack. After 10-12 minutes removes this pack using plain water.

Step 8- Take a nail cleaner tool to wipe-off the extra cream, scrub and pack from toe nails. If the toe nails require filing then use a nail file to bring the nails back in shape.

Step 9- This is the final step and my favorite one :-) . Apply transparent nail paint on clean toe nails, let it dry and then apply a colored nail paint of your choice. Transparent nail paint coat is done to prevent the nails from paleness. If you are not a nail paint freak then either you can just stop after transparent coat or you can totally skip this step.
