The procedure for skin and nail care is called a pedicure, which is known to almost every girl. Moreover, it is divided into several types: hardware, edged, SPA. And not everyone is recommended to perform only one. So there was a combined pedicure.
What kind of procedure
Combined pedicure is a combination of trimmed and hardware effects. That is, the legs during the procedure are processed with a special machine and tools. This allows you to quickly and efficiently make skin and nails well-groomed. Sometimes just one procedure is enough for this.
Who is suitable for
The pedicure procedure is in demand not only in the summer season when open shoes are worn, but, oddly enough, in the winter. Yes, and at any other time of the year. Due to its uniqueness in combining two technologies at once, combined pedicure has its own indications. So, for owners of delicate and sensitive skin, on which, when changing from one type of shoe to another, corns, blisters and corns appear, only a cropped look will not help. Moreover, with such technology during the pedicure there is a risk of injury.
The treatment of the skin around the nails with the apparatus is not always effective: the cuticle may not be completely removed, and when cutting the pterygium, the surface of the nail is sometimes damaged. In addition, for those who have very dense skin on their feet, steaming is categorically contraindicated. When removing long-standing corns and corns after a bath there is a risk during an edged pedicure to remove too much skin, including healthy skin. Therefore, it is a combined pedicure that is the best way to bring your legs in order.
How is performed in the cabin
Since the combined pedicure combines both a cutting technique and a hardware one, the procedure usually begins in the master’s salon with soaking the legs. In a bath with nutritious oils or lotions, the skin is steamed for 5-10 minutes. After that, with the help of nippers and scissors the cuticle is removed, the nails are trimmed.
Work is performed as carefully and accurately as possible so as not to cause injury to the client. In addition, the procedure is performed exclusively with sterilized instruments. The nail file is shaped. When the skin of the legs is completely dry, using the various nozzles on the pedicure machine, the keratinized layer is removed from the heels, feet, and fingertips. The procedure is performed as accurately as possible. And only on dry skin! Otherwise, the nozzles (cutters) will become clogged with moist keratinized skin, which will minimize the effectiveness of the procedure. After the pedicure is completed, the legs are rinsed in warm water and patted with a towel.
How to make at home
Often girls try to save money on going to the salon, so they carry out the procedure at home. It is worth noting that a full-fledged combined pedicure is possible only if there is a professional or semi-professional device. Those that are sold in stores for home use for 300-500 rubles will not work. They will not cope with too coarse skin of the legs, so the procedure will be practically useless.
In general, pedicures at home will be performed exactly the same as in the salon. The only difference is that nozzles and cutters will have to be selected independently. To make the pedicure safe and effective, you can additionally rub the legs with a pumice or a special brush before processing the device. In this case, the machine will only have to carefully and gently polish the feet. After the procedure, you can apply a decorative coating to the nails. And by the way, without this, many people don’t imagine a pedicure at all. Design can be anything, but there are fashion trends in this direction.
How to decorate toenails
The fashionable trends of pedicure today dictate the following conditions: the design of the nails of the hands and feet, if possible, should either coincide, or be sustained in the same color scheme. And it looks really stylish! Making yourself some specific design on your hands, you can immediately ask the master (or yourself) to perform it on his feet.
By the way, a pedicure will be more expensive in the cabin. Design on toenails is more difficult to do - the area for work is usually less. There is a universal option that suits everyone without exception - French. On his feet he looks as impressive, stylish and fashionable as on his hands. Therefore, if there is absolutely no idea how to supplement the pedicure, you can turn to ageless classics. If necessary, the master in the cabin can adjust the free edge to make a straight line of a smile. And even draw something on the thumb. And yes - a simple varnish on the toenails lasts much longer than on the hands. Therefore, you can ignore the expensive procedure with gel polish, using the most ordinary and familiar varnish.
