Don't let your hands & feet reveal your age
 |
No woman would disagree that a regular manicure and pedicure is must for them. But, what if you don't have time to visit a salon? The solution is simple, do a perfect manicure and pedicure at home.
Manicure: First, remove any previously applied nail polish. Next, wash your hands with warm water and use moisturising soap. Use mild facial scrub to treat your rough hands then. Now, pat and dry hands with soft towel. After that, clip the nails and keep the length slightly longer than you desire because filing would make them shorter. Soak your hands in a bowl full of warm water for 5-10 minutes and add 1-2 tbsp of lemon juice or olive oil. This combination will soften your hands and cuticles. Use a nailbrush to clean the nails. Apply some cuticle cream, once you are through with the cleaning. Now, apply nail colour of your choice.
Pedicure: Use a cotton pad soaked with nail-polish remover to take off old polish. Soak your feet in hot water for five minutes and then smoothen your heels and balls of your feet with foot filer. If your cuticles are dry, add drop of olive oil in water. Pat and dry your feet with towel. Clip the toenails straight across with clippers. Use nail file to smooth the edges of nails including the sides. Best shapes are square and rounded edges. Next, apply nail paint to have beautiful feet. |
