Spa pedicure at home. Features and secrets of salon technology

The philosophy of SPA implies a real pleasure, which should be delivered by beauty treatments. No pain, no cutting objects - your body should relax and heal. Therefore, invariably SPA procedures are accompanied by quiet pleasant music, dim lights and candles, an aromatic lamp with incense for relaxation. Can all this be done at home? Of course you can.

Features of the procedure at home

• Do not neglect the necessary surroundings. It not only creates the background of the procedure, but also contributes to true relaxation, able to relieve the stress that has accumulated over the past time. It is no coincidence that this technique of foot care is called a relaxing pedicure. Sandalwood incense sticks, a few candles and rose petals in the foot bath - what could be nicer after a busy week?
• Do not do spa pedicures on your own, ask for a husband, sister, girlfriend. Firstly, it is not very convenient to perform some necessary manipulations. And secondly, to really relax does not work.
• Use professional tools. The technique eliminates rough mechanical impact on the feet, so you do not need blades and scrapers. But compounds based on organic acids, which qualitatively soften rough skin, natural scrubs and fortified oils will be simply necessary. You can purchase them in advance at the cosmetic store.

Step-by-step technique

To conduct a spa pedicure at home, according to all rules, allocate at least 2 hours of time. For this reason, plan on leaving for a weekend evening when the children are sent to bed or to grandmother, and you and your husband or girlfriend are going to have a great time in a calm, relaxing environment.

1. Create the atmosphere you want. Turn on music or sounds of nature, light candles.
2. Prepare a foot bath - its temperature should be 38 °. Add soap foam or balls to it (the latter will make it possible to massage the feet during steaming). Pour some sea salt in it, add patchouli aromatic oil or lavender, flower petals.
3. Hold the legs in the bath for 10 minutes. Then perform their processing with a scrub. Soft exfoliation is best done with round pellet formulations. Massage your feet, paying attention to the heels and rollers of the foot, move up the calf to the knees. By the way, for this reason, SPA pedicure reviews place a deeper treatment procedure than classical and European techniques. It allows you to care not only for the feet, but also for the feet to the knees. This is important, since in these areas, most women perform hair removal, which is fraught with ingrown hair and the development of skin irritation.
4. If there is rough skin on the feet, treat them with a wide abrasive file. Rub without effort with delicate circular motions.
5. Rinse the scrub off your feet and pat them dry with a towel. Start processing the cuticle. It is not cut in the spa technique, but removed with special compounds. Apply cuticle remover to the skin, after 2-3 minutes remove it with a cotton pad. Move the remaining sections of the cuticle to the root of the nail with an orange stick.
6. Treat your nails. Cut them to the desired length, correct the shape with a diamond file. Do not round them to avoid ingrowth.Polish the surfaces of the nails with soft grinding. Apply a nourishing cuticle cream or moisturizing oil to them, rub over the entire nail plate.
7. Moisturize your skin. To do this, use a mask for deep hydration, which should be applied with a thick layer on the feet and legs to the knees. After 20 minutes, rinse the product, blot the skin.
8. Do a massage. Rub each leg for up to 10 minutes, moving from the foot to the knees. If you are not familiar with massage techniques, you can use special massage socks. They improve blood circulation in the feet and relieve fatigue.
9. Apply varnish. Pre - base, then color coating in 2 layers and fixative. In this combination, the varnish will last more than 2 weeks.

Frequency of SPA pedicure in winter and summer

Pamper yourself with a relaxing pedicure at least once a month. By the way, this is enough to keep the legs in perfect condition. Due to the fact that you do not cut the skin, as in the classical technique, it does not tend to grow again. The result of care lasts up to 30-45 days. This is the maximum period that neither a hardware pedicure nor a Garra Rufa fish pedicure will provide you.

In the summer, this technology should be used more often. To make your nails look neat and your heels not peeling off while walking along the beach, do a spa pedicure every 3 weeks. We hope you do not have any difficulties, because now you know how simple and pleasant it is!
