Skyy Hadley, owner of As U Wish Salon, knows how
walking around every day in the summer heat can take a toll on your
feet. Pamper them with these at-home pedicure tips!
·
After removing nail polish and spraying feet with an antiseptic,
soak feet in water and milk. Adding milk is a crucial step as water can strip skin of moisture and leave feet drier.
Milk naturally exfoliates and nourishes the skin and it’s right in your refrigerator.
·
Lightly shape the toenails by cutting nails back
slightly and massaging toes and feet with cream or oil. After feet have
soaked for a few minutes,
push back the cuticles – do NOT cut them. Cutting them creates more hangnails and can even lead to infection.
·
Lightly buff the nail plate
while it is still moist with a cuticle cream or conditioner. Then buff
the skin on your feet by applying a foot scrub and massaging the formula
deep into the skin, concentrating on trouble spots.
To really smooth things over, use a diamond file (avoid pumices as they trap bacteria)
on particularly rough patches like the heel and ball of the foot.
·
To maintain and prolong color, use a primer on the nails first. This step actually dehydrates the nail by bringing the natural oils out, making color grip longer.
After applying color, add a top coat. Three days later, apply a top coat again to prevent color from chipping.
