Pedicure

A pedicure helps to give the feet and nails a good appearance. It is a process which involves several steps which include the following:

• Soak the feet in warm water with added salts and olive oil. The salts soften the skin and the olive oil moisturizes the skin. Leave it as such for 15 minutes.

• Exfoliate the bottom of the feet with a body scrub and use pumice stone on the heels to remove the dead cells.

• Pad dry the feet with a clean towel.

• Trim the nails. Make sure the cuticles are not disturbed as it is essential to prevent bacteria from entering the skin.

• With a good foot cream, massage the entire foot including the cuticles.
