How to Give Yourself a Pedicure

Have your feet felt the effects of Winter this year? Spa/salon pedicures tend to be a little pricey and it’s always nice to be able to do something yourself at home if you can. It’s easy to do an at home pedicure and it will save you tons of money!  Anyone can do it; all you need are a few simple tools and products. The best part? You can relax in the comfort of your own home and get caught up on all of your favourite tv shows/movies at the same time.

What you’ll need:

-Foot file (callus smoother)
-Exfoliating product/body scrub
-Large bowl or foot spa if you have one
-Foot soaking product (could be anything from Epsom salt to your favourite essentials oils…or you can get a product specifically made to be a soak)
-Nail polish of choice + base and top coat
-Nail polish remover
-Foot lotion
-Nail clippers + nail file

How to:

1.  Soak your feet in warm water mixed with your favourite foot soak
2. Exfoliate/scrub your feet using the foot file first and then scrub with an exfoliating product (don’t forget to rinse off your feet!)
3. Trim and file your toenails
4. Moisturize your feet with a rich lotion while focusing on your ankles (the most dry part)
5. Rub nail polish remover on your toenails to get rid of any leftover moisturizer/oils/old polish. Then apply your favourite base coat, nail polish and top coat.

Relax and enjoy your pedicure…
We all need a little pampering every once and a while…you deserve it!
