How to do a natural pedicure at home
From saving money to knowing exactly what’s in the products used during a pedicure, the benefits of a natural pedicure at home are vast.
You will need:
- Pumice stone
- Nail brush
- Loofah
- File
- Nail cleaner
- Cuticle pusher
- Moisturiser
- Nail cutter
- 1 tbsp. Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp. vinegar
- Herbal shampoo
- Lemon slices
- A tub of hot water
- Marigold flowers
- Honey
- Towels
How to:
- Are you already wearing nail polish you need to take off? Take the vinegar and lemon juice and blend them together well. You can use this instead of acetone.
- Massage a little cream or honey on the nails and dip into a tub of hot soapy water to which you have added some fresh lemon slices and marigold petals.
- Once the nails and skins have softened, clean the nails with the help of the brush, and use a pumice stone to dislodge dead skin on the heels. Pat dry and clean the nails with a cleaner and cuticle pusher.
- Rub the lemon slices on the skin to remove tan and use a towel to pat dry.
- Use the loofah to smooth out dead skin and mix two tablespoons each of honey and cream and massage well into the skin. Wipe off with hot towels and you are done!
