Easy Tips on How to Do Pedicure at Home


Tampa girls love getting their nails done, this completes their look. But going to the nail salon every week can be heavy on the budget. The next option is to do pedicure alone at home and learning how to do it can go a long way especially if you have an unexpected event to go to.

Another benefit of doing pedicure at home and alone is that you are sure of the cleanliness of your tools. Using other people’s nail cleaning tools can bring about skin problems and infections. But of course, there’s always an exception. A highly reputable Tampa nail salon will only use sterilized tools for clients to avoid such problems.


Tips on Doing Pedicure Alone

  • The first step is to remove the existing polish with a polish remover. Make sure every colored polish is removed.
  • Next, soak your feet in warm water to soften the nails and cuticles. Adding Epsom salt is a great idea to exfoliate the dead skin around the feet too. Soaking can also soften the calluses.
  • Exfoliate the feet using a foot scrub. With the skin softened, it will be easier to remove dead skin and calluses. However, do not rub so hard. Use a foot file after scrubbing to smoothen the skin and apply foot cream as well.
  • After drying the foot, it’s time to clean the cuticles using a pusher and a cuticle softener. Rub the nails gently.
  • After working on the cuticles, it’s time to trim the nails.
  • After trimming the nails, you can file your nails already. Nail files shape the nails.
  • You can massage your foot before applying the polish but this is purely optional.
  • Apply the nail polish and use polish remover to remove excess polish around the nails. And then dry the polish and you’re all set.

While doing pedicure at home can really save you money, the quality of work compared to what a Tampa nail salon can offer is completely different. Nail experts will not only clean and color your nails but they will give you a relaxing experience as well. After all, massaging your own feet doesn’t compare to how other people will massage it. So if you have the time and money, it is highly recommended to make your way to a reputable Tampa nail salon to get a pedicure.
