Professional pedicures are about the right tools and technique. With this in mind, here is a step-by-step guide to the perfect pedicures.

• Prepare Your Feet

  To prepare your feet for a pedicure, remove any nail polish, and soak your feet either in a bathtub, a foot spa, or a bucket of warm water with a skin care softening product such as epsom salt. Never shave your legs before a pedicure, as bacteria can get into your body through the minuscule nicks and cuts caused by a razor.

• Exfoliate

  After soaking, dry your feet and exfoliate with a buffing block, a foot file, or a pumice stone. Since warm water softens the skin, apply light pressure, as this can cause damage. Alternatively, use a foot scrub to get rid of dead skin cells.

• Get Your Toenails in Order

  Use a nail clipper and file to trim and shape your toenails. It is best to file your nails in one direction, as a back-and-forth motion can damage and weaken them. Rub some cuticle oil into your nails before using a cuticle pusher to work it into your nails beds. Use nail polish to add the final touches to your nails.

Q & A About Foot Care

• How Should I Cut My Nails?

  Soak your nails in warm water or trim them immediately after a bath or shower. Use a nail clipper or nail scissors to cut straight across the toenails (this minimizes the chances of ingrown toenails). Round the nails at the corners with an emery board or a nail file. Be sure to moisturize your nails after you are done. Clean the tools in hot water and dry them before placing them in the storage case.

• How Do You Heal Cracked Feet?

  Also called fissures, cracked heels can lead to infections. To heal cracked feet, soak your feet in warm, salty water for around 10 minutes before exfoliating them with a loofah or a foot scrubber. Once your feet are dry, apply an oil-based cream or petroleum jelly such as vaseline to your skin. For best results, put on a pair of cotton socks to keep the moisturizer in overnight.

• How Do I Get Rid of Hard Skin On My Feet?

  Rough and cracked skin on the feet is a common problem. To remove hardened skin, soak your feet in warm water for around 10 minutes. Gently rub the area with a pumice stone or a foot file over in a sideways motion and then in small circles to remove dead skin cells.

• How Often Should I Do a Pedicure at Home?

  While you should definitely clean and moisturize your feet on a daily basis, it is best to pedicure your feet only every 2 to 3 weeks. This is because toenails tend to grow more slowly than fingernails, so you will normally not need to trim them as often.
