A nail care expert explained how to extend the life of a pedicure 10:02

Victoria Petrova, an instructor at the training center of the Palchiki salon chain, told Gazeta. Ru”, how to extend the life of the pedicure.

“If you are doing a pedicure at home, remember that its quality does not depend on how long you scrub your feet with a nail file. When we cut off more than allowed during the treatment process, the skin grows stronger and faster, the body goes into safety mode and an additional layer grows,” Petrova began.

The expert said that the main thing is to prevent redness of the skin of the feet. This rule should also be remembered by those who go to the salon for pedicure.

According to the expert, in addition to classic and hardware pedicures, SMART pedicures are now also popular.

“The main difference is that when processing the legs, not ordinary attachments are used, but special grinding wheels. They are made of silicon carbide and allow you to gently act on the skin and not leave traces of “tears”, which often occur during hardware pedicure. Moreover, since the grinding discs do not heat up during operation, there will be no burning sensation,” said Petrova.

According to the expert, this type of pedicure does not require pre-wetting of the feet and the use of keratolytics. Petrova stated that it is suitable for all skin types and is especially indispensable in the treatment of diabetic feet, hyperkeratosis, corns and calluses.

The expert recommended that those planning a sea holiday take foot cream with them because sea water and sand dry the skin very much. If you are relaxing on a pebble beach, the expert recommended purchasing special shoes to prevent your heels from cracking and your skin from bursting.

“Remember, to extend your pedicure you should wear comfortable and comfortable shoes, and do not neglect relaxing and invigorating foot baths at home,” added Petrova.
