Pedicure for men: types, performance technique and features

For starters, about motivation. Men do not share a female reverent attitude to beauty, but many prefer to look well-groomed. Therefore, the best time for a husband to get acquainted with a pedicure is the beginning of summer, when he sets aside sneakers and shoes, putting on open sandals and slates.

Another good period is the end of autumn, when heating appears in the houses. Air quickly loses moisture, which the skin reacts to sharply. On the heels, she begins to peel off and crack, the man is uncomfortable. Imagine a procedure for him as a way to solve the problem and get rid of this discomfort. Believe me, he will warmly support your desire to help him.

Features of the procedure and foot care for men with photos and videos

Techniques for performing hygienic treatment of the feet of men and women differ little. A significant difference is only the frequency of execution: so a pedicure for men should not be performed more than 1 time per month. Firstly, such periodicity is sufficient, since the skin of a strong half of humanity has greater elasticity, and the result of processing lasts longer. And secondly, you do not need to strain the man with frequent pedicures. As long as he is not bothered by dry, ugly, and painful heels, he does not consider it necessary to do anything with them at all.

Perform men's pedicures at home, for which your female professionalism is enough. Such a procedure will be both pleasant and effective.
