WHAT IS A PEDICURE?
Toenail pedicure or manicure is the generic term for toenail and toenail treatments. In another way, a pedicure can be called a foot manicure.
The standard procedure includes the following elements:
- removal of hardened skin.
- cuticle treatment.
- shaping the nails.
TYPES OF PEDICURE
1. Classic pedicureю.
2. European pedicure.
3. Hardware pedicure.
4. Medical pedicure.
5. SPA pedicure.
CLASSIC PEDICURE
The classic pedicure is also called «edged». And all because in such a pedicure, cutting tools are used. The classic pedicure technique involves treating nails and skin with nippers after softening it with water. With its help, you can cope with even the coarsest and driest cuticles and burrs. Despite the versatility of the procedure, the UN has a number of significant drawbacks: careless handling of the instrument can lead to cuts and even infectious diseases (such as AIDS and hepatitis) through the blood, if the master is not too careful and does not thoroughly disinfect his instruments. Therefore, it is extremely important to choose a trusted master, whose workplace will always be clean and tidy, and the instruments sterilized.
Step-by-step implementation of a classic pedicure:
- File your nails.
- Place your feet in a softening foot bath.
- Apply a pumice stone to your feet.
- Remove the cuticles and skin around the nails with nippers or scissors.
- Apply decorative varnish.
- Soften the skin with a nourishing oil or cream.
EUROPEAN PEDICURE
This type of manicure is also called «unedged». It's simple, the difference between European and classic manicures is the refusal to soften the skin with water and the use of cutting tools - scissors, nippers and other devices for removing cuticles. The skin is softened with special tools for removing cuticles and corns, and then removed with a stick or scraper. And after processing the leather, you can immediately start applying varnish. Thanks to this, the risk of damaging the skin and introducing an infection is reduced to zero, the treatment of the feet is completely safe. With regular procedures, the cuticle begins to grow more slowly.
Step-by-step execution of a european pedicure:
To put your legs in order, you need:
- Remove old varnish.
- Apply a special softener to the cuticle. Push back the remnants of the cuticle with an orange stick so that it looks neat.
- Sand rough and keratinized skin around the nails with a nail file.
- File nails, give them a neat shape. Treat feet with a softening compound.
- After 15-20 minutes, rub thoroughly with a pumice stone to remove the remnants of rough and dead skin.
- Apply a nourishing cream to the feet, massage so that the product is completely absorbed.
- Cover the nails with transparent protective or colored varnish.
HARDWARE PEDICURE
The hardware type of a pedicure does not involve the use of softening baths, removers, or files. The whole procedure is performed using a special apparatus. With this device, you can forget about calluses, corns and ingrown nails for a long time. The master carefully cuts off the keratinized areas with various nozzles-cutters, gives the nails the desired shape and even removes the gel polish. The advantages of this type of pedicure are that it is carried out without the use of water, which means that the risk of catching a fungal infection is minimal. In addition, the possibility of cuts and scratches when using this device is also excluded. With a hardware pedicure, only the keratinized layer of the skin is removed, while with a classic pedicure, dead cells are cut off along with living tissues. The disadvantage of this technique is the difficulty for self-repetition at home.
