Arguing about the beautiful form of a female figure, it is impossible not to remember the slightness of her feet that is crazy about not one generation of men from the most time when women's legs have become the property of their gaze. Continuing this idea, it should be said about the status of a stop and nails on the fingers in women. They must be in perfect condition. Special procedures aimed at their care and moisturizing are not just a tribute to fashion or desire to look attractive, but also care for health.
What it is?
A pedicure is called a procedure that implies foot care and nails on the legs, which is carried out with a certain frequency. This cosmetology procedure is also therapeutic. In the process of it, burned cells are removed from the skin surface, various cracks are treated on the heels, ingrown nails, eliminate dry corns.
With regular care for legs in the early stages, various deformations of the foot, flatfoot, nail fungus and other diseases can be detected.
Types and forms
There are the following varieties of pedicure, all variety of which can be reduced to 2 groups - manual pedicure (performed by a manual specialist) and hardware (using a pedicure apparatus with cutters).
Consider more popular species of pedicure.
Medical
The essence of the procedure is not only giving the legs of a beautiful and well-kept species, but also treatment. This pedicure is produced using a medical apparatus, which is gently and non-antimatically removes organized cells. Undoubtedly, in this one of the advantages of the procedure - the absence of injuries and open wounds on the skin. Another advantage of a medical pedicure is not to use some leaving, but therapeutic compositions. Finally, it carries out such a procedure, according to existing standards, only a specialist with medical education.
The removal of burned areas is carried out with the help of remover - special compositions, for example, on organic acids, which soften dry skin and seals, after which they are easily removed by pemp. If necessary, directly during the procedure, the specialist will produce feet (remove the ingrown nail, eliminate the cracks on the heels). A medical pedicure is completed typically by applying a moisturizing cream with antifungal and antiseptic effect on the feet and their massage.
Classical
One of the well-known, fairly universal and popular species of pedicure. Correctly speak - a classic edged pedicure. It implies applying to the feet of a softening cream and the treatment of nails (care for the cuticle, giving the nails of the desired length and forms).
After that, the legs are sprinkled in the bath with the addition of sea salt, sometimes - extracts of therapeutic herbs. Spaceling usually takes no more than a quarter of an hour, after which the burrital areas are treated with grates and pimples. In the Arsenal masters there are several pieces with a larger abrasive and bed. First, coarse abrasives are used, graters, and then more delicate tools. At the end of the procedure, a moisturizing cream is applied.
The effect of the procedures is noticeable immediately, and it is rather impressive. On average, the result is enough for a month. It is worth noting its efficiency - it will take about 40-60 minutes.
But it is important to carefully choose a pedicure salon and masters, since the classical procedure involves a disruption of the integrity of the skin that, if the rules of antiseptics may be caused by serious suppuration and inflammation.
Hardware
The procedure is carried out using a pedicure apparatus with different nozzles. By changing the nozzles, you can solve different problems with the footsteps, eliminating including coarse skin.
The hardware pedicure is suitable even to care for male feet, which are rough and dry from nature.
Another advantage is the lack of cuts and other damage to the integrity of the skin, so you can talk about the safety and atraumatic of the hardware pedicure.
At the same time, the procedure itself takes a little time - about an hour, painless. In particularly launched cases, you have to make 2-3 procedures so that there is a tangible effect.
European
The European pedicure is also called unedged, and special creams and gels are used to softening the burned areas in the feet and fingers and removal of the cuticle. This allows you to make the procedure safe and painless, but it may be ineffective on highly launched legs. Frequent and regular procedures will help achieve a more pronounced result.
The European pedicure is starting with the application of removers and compositions for the cuticle. When the latter softened, it is not cut off, and they move the orange stick to the nail lodge. Nails are also not cut, but only different saws are used.
The next step is to remove the flabby skin in the footsteps (it is just softened after the Remurver) with the help of terkons and pylons.
SPA pedicure
Of great importance in this procedure is attached to the relaxation of the client. This uses a pleasant atmosphere (pleasant music sounds, aromatherapy is used). Iirnoval cells are removed using scrubies, creams and various extracts from natural components. Pedicure devices, scrapers and pumice are not used. A mandatory element of the SPA-pedicure is a foot massage carried out by a manually by a specialist. In addition, masks are applied to the feet, moisturizing serums. The procedure can be sufficiently long enough to two hours.
Japanese
Such a pedicure is called another rejuvenating, since natural humidifiers and skin softeners with antioxidant effect are used in the process of its conduct. The cuticle in this case is not trimmed, and moves with a wooden wand. Instead of pumice and scrapers, scrubs are applied, after the application of the foot baths are provided. The softened chicken skin is written to a special rice block, after which moisturizing compositions are applied, for example, with lotus extract. The procedure is completed by a manual foot massage.
Like a SPA pedicure, the Japanese procedure allows you to relax, improve the condition of the skin in the footsteps without the risk of infection (since the method is atraumatic).
In addition to the specified, a number of salons offers their own types of pedicure, for example, acidic (using organic acid-based products), paraffin (with mitigating and moisturizing paraffin baths), fish (commonly found in Egypt, small fish are biteled in Thailand) other.
Female manicure can be coated and covered. In the first case, the nails are decorated with colored varnish, in the second - it is absent.
Selection of funds and tools
Get a qualitative result from a pedicure helps in many respects the presence of "correct" tools. Of course, in different masters, he is different - someone has a minimal set, while other masters use more tools. However, the basis for everyone remains unchanged.
For cuticles are used nippers and tweezers. The first are used to remove protruding corners, burrs. The second is to circumcise the cuticle. If an unedged pedicure is performed, orange sticks will also be required.
To care for nails (length corrections and forms) use nail clippers and scissors, peelings and grinding pills. Pedicure Pusher, which is a bilateral tool with a curette and a blade with each of the parties, is designed to separate the burdown layer, cuticle.
A pedicure scraper, grates and pempes allow you to achieve smoothness of the heels, remove the skinned areas of the skin. They are varying degrees of action - that is, directly to remove damage leather and polishing. Externally, these devices differ in the size of the abrasives.
Most of these tools successfully replace cutters on a pedicure machine. Without it, it is not necessary if the task is to conduct a fast and atraumatic pedicure.
In addition, it takes a pelvis for foot bath. Today, you can also find electronic feet baths that also provide the jacuzzi effect, allow water massage to produce.
The safety of the procedure depends on the compliance with the rules of antiseptics. According to standards, most of the tools should be burned in special dry furnaces or cabinets after each application. If you make a pedicure in the cabin, check if they have such a wardrobe. By the way, after the disinfection procedure, each tool turns into individual kraft packaging.
The date of antiseptic processing, the surname and signature of the specialist who spent it is put on its surface.
A number of tools must be disposable. These are orange sticks, various napkins, master's gloves (by the way, any, even the unedged pedicure, should be made exclusively in them in the cabin).
If a pedicure with a coating is performed, they will need varnishes and means to remove them, and if the gel varnish is applied, then a special UV lamp to secure it.
For the procedure, antiseptics are also needed, the softener of the burned skin sections, moisturizing creams, scrubs, varnishes and bases for them. If the stop massage is supposed, it would be nice to acquire massage and aromatic oil.
Phased instruction
Features and stages of the procedure depend on the type of pedicure. In general, the process must include the following steps:
- softening (carried out with removers or breaking the stop in the bath);
- removal of burned skin sections (for this can also be used both special compositions and traditional scrapers and pumices);
- Processing of the nail plate (cutting the cuticle or shifting it to the nail light with an orange stick, giving nails of suitable length and shapes);
- Caring for footsteps (applying masks and compositions, paraffin masks, mandatory at this stage is moisturizing, in some cases - massage);
- Decorating nails if a pedicure with a coating is performed.
If you make a pedicure yourself at home, you can use the next step-by-step plan.
Give nails shape and convenient length
If the nails have an old coating, first of all it should be removed. Then you need to decide on the nail length on the legs and cut their pedicure scissors. An important point is to crop your nails on the legs only in a straight line. The rounding of the corners is fraught with rustling of the nail plate in the nail bed.
Finally give nails a suitable form will help the pedel. It is more correct to use vitreous, since it does not violate the structures of the nail, and in addition, it is convenient for use and durable. Give the nails smoothness will help the peer for grinding.
Sparking legs
To do this, in a pelvic or a special bath, you need to pour water (temperature 38-40C) and lower your legs into it for 15 minutes. For greater efficiency, you can add a sea salt there, chamomile decoction, the bark of the Duma and other herbs.
Using various additives, you can change the properties of the bath. So, if you enter a pair of essential oil drops, the bath will find a tonic and deodorizing effect.
If you are also treating fungus, it is better to use a disinfecting soda bath.
You can add a pair of iodine drops to it to strengthen the nails. A bathtub with sea salt has a deodorizing and relaxing effect, but it is worth abandoning if there is a wound and inflammation on the skin. From the sweating of the legs, you can make a composition with the addition of decoction of oak bark. After the procedure, you carefully wipe the legs, ideal for this waffle towel.
Sparking can be carried out before the nails are approved form and length, but it is important to remember that it is possible to trim and direct the latter only after their complete drying.
Removal of flabber skin
As a rule, the cooler area - heels. To purify them, a grater or coarse pumice is used, which is worth walking along the edges of the heels. It is in these places that the greatest skin seals appear - Natoptyshi. It is forbidden to use a razor machine to remove rough skin, scrape it with scissors, blade. This is fraught with serious injuries, in addition, the skin removed in this way will be actively regenerated, and therefore, in a short time, Natoptysh will appear again.
After using tools with rough abrasive, you need to take more delicate and polish the treated surfaces and the remaining (central) part of the heel. Pumice with small abrasive can be treated with fingers, but it is much more convenient and safer to use a special scrub for the feet. It can be applied to the entire surface of the foot (on the treated heels including) and massate legs for a few minutes. Then you should rinse the legs and flush them with a waffle towel.
Cutting care
After breaking, the skin becomes soft, so it's time to take care of the cuticle. First of all, remove the burrs and protruding areas of the cuticle with special laying. Then you can cut the cuticle or push it to the nail box. In any case, it will be useless to get into the treated sections with a cotton swab, moistened in an antiseptic solution.
Moisturizing
Complete the procedure for the processing of the stop should be applied by a moisturizing cream. It should be mild, but strong movements to launch into the skin. Well, if the composition contains vitamins E, and, various natural oils.
They best moisturize the skin, prevent her early and aging.
Decorating nail
If you plan to cover your nails with lacquer, then it is pre-deprived them. This is necessary in order for the coloring composition to lay smoothly, because the remnants of creams could continue on the nails. For disinfection, the usual lacquer remover is suitable. After that, you need to wait 10 minutes and wipe the nails with a dry napkin, and then begin to apply a varnish.
Ideally, with the decoration of the nails, the basic coating is first applied, on top of it - the main color varnish. Its amount is determined by the desired color intensity. At the very end of the nails are covered by a fixer, which will allow you to save a pedicure longer. An important point - each printed layer should be given time for complete drying. For the convenience of applying, you can use a special separator for fingers.
Make a coating more durable will allow the application of gel lacquer which implies the use of UV lamp. To achieve duration of socks up to 6 weeks and high quality coverage allows compliance with application technology (use of primer, fixing each layer in UV lamp) and the power of the lamp itself.
It is important to remember that the gel varnish dries the nail plate, so periodically (for example, each second pedicure) is recommended to apply a special regenerating and caring composition under the main layer.
You should immediately prepare everything you need for the procedure. Ideal if you use professional tools of one line. Among them are funds from the Israeli brand Clearance, which is trusted by both professionals and those who make a pedicure itself.
New and fashion trends
The main trend is perhaps beautiful and healthy feet. Today, to enjoy fashionable, it is quite necessary to master the neil-art, it is enough to maintain the smoothness of the stop, in time to eliminate dry corn and care for the nails. Even the caring compositions like "smart enamel" will be suitable as a decor for the latter, which will give nails shine and a healthy appearance.
However, certain trends female pedicure still has. Consider the most popular of them.
Monochrome
Such a pedicure can be called universal and easy to perform, but at the same time noble and stylish. The choice of shades is unlimited - it may be neutral, pastel (peach, pink) and bright color solutions. An important point is not to choose the same color for the legs that is used in your hands.
Today it is a movietone.
Nonphone drawings and geometry
Sophisticated Neil-art goes into the past, and a replacement for him come pretty simple drawings and patterns - peas, curls, unpaired flowers. In trend, geometric patterns. Today, stylists recommend combining drawings on nails with a monophonic coating or a French manicure. The drawing is not performed on each nail, but by 1-2 and performs the function of the accent.
Rhinestones
The use of rhines is another hit of this season, but rhinestones require moderate use and thoughtful as a pedicure, that and the image as a whole. It is recommended to use small rhinestones, laying out the pattern or pattern. As a rule, rhinestones are combined with a monophonic pedicure and are used to design only thumbs. This allows you to make design elegant, avoid absurdity and excessive impact.
Lunny pedicure
With a lunar pedicure, a nail hole is distinguished in a separate color. Such a pedicure remains fashionable, perhaps since its appearance. But each season of the manicure wizard offers new solutions for the lunar manicure. Today, the hole may not have a classic shape, but be a triangular, square, double.
The hole, or the "smile" on the nails can be contrasting towards the main color or to be performed in one with it the gamma. You can decorate with holes only thumbs out, painting the rest of the nail plates in the monochrome shade. Quite often "pedicure with smiles" is combined with rhinestones.
Franch
Those who consider the French manicure with something boring and unnecessarily simple, just have not seen its modern interpretation for a long time. Traditional strips along the edge of the nail today are performed by contrasting shades, as well as using golden and silver mood. Franch is harmoniously combined with the "hole", geometric patterns, the striped version is encountered, decorated with a pattern and rhinestones.
Ombre (Ambre)
Does not give up its positions and manicure of Ombre, or a gradient, implying a smooth transition from one, more rich shade, in brighter. Today the technique is applied not only within one nail plate. Stretching from tone to the tone can cover immediately all your fingers. That is, a large color is painted into the most saturated shade, index - lighter, medium - still lighter and so on.
Gentle gradient can also be decorated with rhinestones or pattern.
But it is very important to avoid the raffle of the details, so only thumbs are decorated.
Multicolored fingers
This option is especially good for the summer time of the year, traveling to the sea. However, you can choose it to those who wish to make bright colors in the gray autumn-winter weekdays. As a rule, with this technique, 2-3 different colors are used, which can be both close and contrasting. Already classic was a combination of yellow and blue, purple palette, pink and mint, turquoise.
Mosaic
The advantage of such a coating is not only in its brightness and uniqueness, but also in universality. It is enough to choose for a mosaic pedicure those shades of varnish that are combined with the color of your main pairs of shoes.
Tips of professionals
When choosing a shade of nail polish, not only personal preferences and fashion trends, but also a hue of the skin should be taken into account. The ladies with warm subtock are suitable, respectively, warm colors (orange, red, peach). Holders of a cold shade skin are recommended to choose a cold pink, lilac, blue, blue. If this rule fails, does not avoid unnaturalness, dissonance in the shade of the skin and painted nails.
Experts recommend to make a pedicure once a month and once a week to maintain it, using almost smooth pemps, scrubs. For such a procedure, you can not unpack specially legs, but simply do processing after a shower or bath, because the feet at this moment are also softened.
When performing a pedicure in the cabin in the price, the nail decoration is usually included separately. For example, the decoration of a single nail rhinestone can be from 30 to 150 rubles. If you want to get an unusual pedicure, but at the same time save, ask the wizard to use 2 and more colors. According to the price, it will look like a monophonic coating without using an additional decor, but on the fact, highlighting certain fingers with different shades, you will receive an original design.
For home pedicure you can use special socks. Reviews make it possible to conclude that such procedures will help return the smoothness even "running" feet. Socks can be of x / b fabrics with a special impregnation inside or cellophane, also containing a softening composition. The first is usually put on the night, the second is 15-30 minutes.
They act like removers, softening the skin and exfoliating dead skin cells.

Of course, the options for their pedicure should be perceived as samples, ideas, without trying to reproduce exactly. To do this, you may not be at hand of suitable materials or skills. In addition, care for itself, in particular, the design of nails is a kind of act of creativity, the ability to show your own individuality.

Looking for a win-win version of the decor, which will be appropriate in any situation? Choose a classic red in monochrome without rhinestones and drawings. It is possible to "support" its element of makeup or accessory, as Michel Williams did.
Another traditional and at the same time the elegant version is dairy and powdered shades of nail polish. This is easy to see, looking at the stylish and sophisticated Penelope Cruz. The main thing is that they are not to tone the skin or the brighter of it. Excellent addition to open shoes of beige, golden and brown shades.
Monochrome solutions using dark shades varnishes (black, dark chocolate, saturated burgundy), it seems to never come out of fashion. The secret of their popularity is in a special charm and the combination of practically with any shoes. Elizabeth Banks once again confirms this thought.
