Oh, those legs! Pedicure and .... everything, everything, everything!
 The summer has come, and with it, a warm welcome, it was time sandals, "flip flops" etc. And therefore, our legs have to be prepared for the fact that we can expose them with confidence and pride. During the summer is very important foot care. After all, from a variety of reasons, they are suffering and look worse coarsens the skin, cracks, corns, legs quickly tired, swollen ankles. On the heels often formed sores, for example, the backs of sandals. And they sometimes become infected, causing inflammation. In general, it's time to do your legs seriously!

So, what includes a pedicure? Contrary to popular belief, it's not just nail care, and cover them with lacquer. The word "pedicure"   It consists of two Latin roots: pedis, which means "foot" and cure - "withdrawal". The name of the procedure is precisely conveys its essence. Start with hygienic measures :

purification   - Legroom is better to use a special bath. Fill should be warm water with a special detergent and softening composition: You can buy ready-made, but you can prepare by using a solution of baking soda and infusions of chamomile, sage, calendula, oak bark. In such a bath, you can add tea tree extracts, spruce, willow, and thus strengthen its disinfectant and bactericidal action. Adding apple cider vinegar helps to soften rough skin. You can also hover legs in unsalted broth treated potatoes. This procedure makes the skin soft and silky feet.

exfoliation   - The removal of softened particles of keratinized skin, corns. For this perfect special cosmetic grater or pumice. It can help and special creams for skin peeling feet, including pumice chips. Good natural scrubs from apricot kernels, green tea and mulberry leaves - they clean the skin without irritating it, and vegetable oils (olive, shea, sunflower seeds) excellent moisturize it, make smooth and gentle.

food   - After cleaning the foot should be rinsed with cool water and blot with a towel, carefully remove the moisture between the toes. Then massage with any nourishing cream specifically for feet - the choice they are now truly boundless, and approximately the same effect. Foot Cream normalizes blood circulation, has a deodorizing effect, heals wounds, prevent the smell of sweat, softens, soothes and nourishes the skin. In short, unlike other cosmetic products, products for the feet must have a sufficiently wide range of effects and use leg rests face creams - Wrong Tactics

Well, now you can go and nails!

• After removing omertveshih cells and dirt under the fingernails long fingernails trimmed If the average length of the nails, the nail file to file cosmetic. Businesses are advised to start with the corners of the nail to the transverse incision of the nail plate is not broke down and broke. Toenails should not be long, and only the thumb nail should be left slightly longer to cover the tip of a finger. If the nail is inclined to grow into the skin - especially not round off and cut the nails only in a straight line without cutting corners, otherwise they will grow even more.

cuticle   - An important element of a pedicure. A few years ago, it was the so-called popular manicure, the cuticle when separated from the nail plate and clipped. This procedure is quite traumatic and even dangerous. Recent studies showed that the cuticle has an important function: it protects the nail bed from the introduction of disease-causing bacteria. It is therefore now used mainly edging manicure - cuticle is not cut, but just gently shift the base of a wooden stick, after inflicting on the cuticle of a special cream dissolving it. The advantage of this method is that the cuticle is not damaged, and therefore does not remain open gates for infection. Cuticle with regular use means for softening and removal becomes thinner, slowing its growth.

• completes the procedure with nails - lacquer . Many women neglect this important step, and, in fact, the film on the surface of the nail lacquer protects it from bacteria and microdamages. Now there are nail polishes that do not contain formaldehyde and other components are withering. These varnishes quickly adapt to environmental conditions (temperature and humidity), so keep a long time. When applying the varnish, for the convenience of put between the toes special separators or cotton balls. Apply the paint in broad strokes from the base of the nail to the edge. For the legs, preferably choose a discreet neutral shade, which gives the nails well-groomed appearance and, at the same time, combined with any accessories and paint on hand.

Extremely useful for health and beauty legs and feet massage and simple exercises For example, as follows:

1. Alternately mash each finger of the foot.

2. Stroking, massaging his hands one by one lower leg from foot to knee joint on each leg.

3. Perform standing by placing one foot rubber ball in a circular motion to roll his way to work the entire foot. Repeat 10 times.

4. Sitting on a chair, legs bent at the knees, the feet are placed in parallel. Lift left, then right heel and both simultaneously. Repeat 16 - 20 times.

5. Sitting on a chair, grab and lift your toes variety small objects.

Foot massage   extremely useful for general health, because it is believed that it is on the foot are biologically active points associated with all organs. Massaging certain zone of the foot, can affect the health of the organism. For example, a massage toes positively affect vision, the inner part of the foot - the gastrointestinal tract and the heel area - on the excretory system and renal. It is useful to make such a device. Take an ordinary box. Fill it with small stones or peas and the morning walk (shifting from one foot to the other), that is, to do a kind of massage the soles.

A few tips

If you are plagued by "corns", are useful oil compresses. Take cotton socks thoroughly saturate any vegetable oil and wear. Top - a plastic bag (without holes), and then one more socks. A few hours later, remove the poultice and rinse the feet with warm water. At night helpful to rub in the foot castor oil - it softens the skin, rejuvenates, heals polished places.

Quite often deliver misery emerged from the base of the thumb "bone". For small deformations good help treatments: massages, physiotherapy sessions, exercise. If the appearance of "bones" due to flat feet, the process of its growth can be slowed down if the pick orthotics, insoles. Personally, I helped a good herbal (forbs) hot bath followed by a massage. So, in this case, do not despair, assume that the "pits" are not treated, and only in the visible output operation. Although there are modern methods of operating, rather sparing and recovery time are small (1-2 weeks), but then you can wear any shoe model and afford the heels of any height.

If you have cracked heels, try this recipe: add to raw egg 1 tbsp. spoon vegetable oil and acetic acid. Stir thoroughly until the mixture thickens. Every time after washing feet to rub in the heel part.
If you have corns, it is useful after the washing of the feet at night to rub vegetable oil. Better olive. You can apply after a bath in the corn bread crumb soaked in vinegar. And when the corn is withered - it removes the mixture.

If you take care of your feet constantly and carefully, you will have no problems, and they will always be healthy and beautiful!
