DIY your Pedicure at Home to get your Feet Summer Ready

You will need:

• Nail clippers
• Cotton pads
• Nail polish remover
• Cuticle cream
• Nail filer
• Loofah
• Foot scrub
• Moisturiser

Step-1: First, you need to trim and shape your nails. Remove your old nail polish with the nail polish remover and trim your nails neatly using a nail file. Make sure you cut straight across and don’t cut the corners too much, as this can lead to painful ingrown nails.

Step-2: In a basin or tub, fill warm water enough to cover up to your ankles and add some bath salts & add a few drops of any essential oil (if needed). Also, add a few smooth pebbles to the water. These will provide a gentle massage as you place your feet on them. Soak your feet and relax for 15-20 minutes. Dry them with a towel.

Step-3: The next step is exfoliating. Once you are done with the foot bath, dry your feet and rub some cuticle cream on the base of each toenail. Leave it for a few minutes. In the meanwhile, use a foot scrub and remove all the dry and dead skin cells. Be firm but do not scrape too hard. Next, wipe off the cuticle cream and push back the cuticles gently with a cuticle pusher.

Step-4: Once you are done scrubbing, wash your feet clean and moisturize them. Moisturizing helps soften, hydrate the skin, and protects it from cracking. Rub a generous portion on your feet and massage well to keep the nerve endings stimulated, improve blood circulation, and nourish the skin and foot muscles!

Step-5: Now your nails are ready to get decorated. Paint them with the color of your choice. Always apply a base coat. Wait for it to dry and then apply a coat of nail polish. Let it dry completely before you apply the next coat. This will make your nail polish last longer. You can also jazz your feet up with a pretty anklet or toe rings!
