Clean feet are the mark of a well groomed and confident person,
so you owe it to yourself to show them some love!
Today we’re going to share some important nail and foot care habits
that can be incorporated into your daily life!
Now, just like our earlier video on Manicures we’ve partnered with UrbanClap on this one as well.
Most of you probably know that you can use the UrbanClap app
to book a whole host of beauty treatments that you can enjoy at home,
and we took advantage of this to sample their classic pedicure.
So without further ado, here’s everything you need to know about nail & foot care!
A pedicure every couple of weeks can be the difference between
healthy and sexy feet and the kind of pegs you want to hide in a pair of high tops,
so these are highly recommended!
Saachi got this Classic Pedicure that she booked on the UrbanClap app,
to indulge in some self-pampering.
A Classic Pedicure is basically around 45 minutes of bliss for your feet.
It is essential to have a clean canvas to begin with,
so the therapist started by removing the old nail polish.
The nails were trimmed carefully, to achieve the shape and length that Saachi desired!
A wooden filer is used to shape the delicate nails
without cracking or splitting them.
Cuticle gel was applied to make the nail bed emollient and supple.
Soaking the feet in a tub of warm water and foot soak,
softens the calluses and cleanses the nails and feet.
Taking a cuticle pusher, the therapist
gently pushed back all the cuticles near the nail bed.
If loose cuticles are apparent, which was the case with Saachi,
a cuticle nipper is used to pluck out all the loose skin.
She scrubbed Saachi’s feet in circular motions
to remove all the dead skin and soothe the skin’s surface.
A foot file and a pumice stone were used
to remove all the dead skin layers and even out the skin.
A foot pack was used after clearing all the dead skin layers
which instantly hydrated the skin
and removed excess oils from the feet.
A generous amount of the cream was applied to massage her feet.
The therapist used special massaging techniques
which relaxed the feet and revived dry skin.
Nails are buffed to improve nail growth and bring back the lost shine.
The nails are then prettied up with a double coat of your favourite nail polish!
Pedicures not only get your blood flowing,
but also hydrate the skin and get rid of fungal infections.
So you should get them done every 15-20 days.
Now as awesome as the pedicure was, tomorrow’s a new day,
and you’ll have to take care of your feet yourself.
So don’t be lazy, wash your feet thoroughly every single day and night,
as unclean feet have the day’s accumulated dirt & bacteria on them.
So keep your feet and toes clean,
and then work them over with some moisturiser.
Sleeping with your socks on too, has its own advantages.
It regulates body temperature by keeping your feet warm
and also helps your skin soak in any moisturiser that you have applied the night before,
leaving you with soft and supple ankles by the next morning!
Leaving your feet exposed, even during the winters,
without any sunscreen can cause damage, so watch out!
Fortunately, we have a lot of different sunscreens available in the market today
that are sweat-proof, mattifying and fast-drying.
You can put them on 30 minutes before you head out the door
and not have to worry about getting your feet sticky.
Foot files are a godsend for rough feet.
Here’s how you can use one to smoothen out the rough skin on the underside of your feet:
Soak your feet in warm water to moisten them and soften the upper layer of your skin.
Rub the foot file or pumice stone onto your damp foot.
Wipe dry with a clean towel and
apply a good amount of your favourite moisturiser.
Make sure you follow this process at least twice a week
so your feet remain soft, clean and healthy!
Your first impressions are always the lasting ones.
So now that you have all these beauty tips with you,
you should just go ahead and pamper those energetic, tottering toes
every once in a while.
We’d like to thank UrbanClap for collaborating with us on this series of videos.
We really enjoyed both the Spa Manicure and the Classic Pedicure
that we experienced here at the Glamrs studio.
If you haven’t experienced the convenience of
booking a high quality beauty treatment on your phone,
we strongly recommend it!
