Good foot care treats and prevents skin problems such as callouses, as well as in-growing toe nails and related infections. A pedicure can help your posture by enabling you to walk more comfortably. Combined with massage, hot stones, a herbal or aromatic rub or a soak in scented oils, a pedicure can also soothe and relax you generally.

Before you go Keep it clean

A pedicure may well begin with a relaxing foot soak to soften the skin, and this will often be scented, but some basic foot hygiene will ensure you … get off on the right foot.

Choose your pedicurist with care

There are quite strict guidelines for people carrying out pedicures and manicures. Make sure you choose a pedicurist who has evidently high-standards of hygiene. A pedicure should be carried out by a qualified nail-technician.

How long will it take?

A pedicure usually takes between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on what kind of foot treatment you’re having. Allow time afterwards to ease yourself back into standing up!

Precautions

If you have any fungal or other foot infections, it is better for your feet and, frankly, for your therapist, if you get those treated medically first.

What to expect from a pedicure

A pedicure usually begins with a therapeutic foot bath or spa, where your feet are soaked and cleansed in warm, scented water. Some foot-baths are like a mini-Jacuzzi for your feet. Creams and aromatherapy oils will be massaged into your feet to refresh and soften your skin. Many pedicurists will give you an acupressure or reflexology-based foot massage to really relax you. Some pedicures include the use of hot stones. Others use mud, wraps and even algae. Some pedicures include a healing or antiseptic oil or cream on your feet. You may also have an exfoliating rub with salts or minerals to slough off dead skin. Your cuticles will be removed, and your toenails cut and shaped, using oils to soften them beforehand. Your pedicure will usually close with a massage of your feet and lower legs and possibly another soak in the foot bath before a good quality polish is applied to your nails.

Hot tip!

Your choice of footwear is really important when you go for a pedicure. Whilst ordinary shop-bought nail polish usually dries completely within five minutes or so, proper pedicure- standard nail polish may take up to 12 hours to dry completely! You don’t want to have to push those nails into socks and trainers for your cycle home. Whatever you arrive in, make sure that you have flip-flops or open sandals to wear when you leave. Even if you aren’t having nail varnish applied in your pedicure, you’re unlikely to want to throw your feet straight back to the tough work of pounding you around the street in a pair of court shoes. Give your feet a break and take something more comfortable with you to wear afterwards.

Afterwards

A good pedicure is heaven, and will leave you feeling fresh, light and relaxed. Your feet will probably look and feel better than they have for years. You’ll want to look at them and show them off, and will make rash promises to yourself about how much better care you’ll take of them in future. Start by putting some comfortable shoes on!

Different kinds of pedicure

There are lots of different foot treatments available now in spas and in specialist centers. Usually, the difference between them is just the type of products used and the sequence they’re used in. They may also have a different way of cutting or “dressing” the nails. You can usually tell what you’re going to get from a spa’s description of the treatment.

These are some examples of the different kinds of pedicures you can get:

French: this classic pedicure includes expensive, long-lasting nail varnish for thecosmopolitan lady, whitens the tip and squares off the nail

Intensive paraffin wax: this pedicure includes warm wax being rubbed into your nails, feet and lower legs to moisturize and soften.

Deluxe/luxury pedicure: this whole-foot treatment includes a foot massage, softening paraffin wax and heated towels or a wrap which warms and soothes your feet, and softens and hydrates your nails.

Gel pedicure: this is a treatment that uses clear or colored gel, which is bonded to your nails for a long-lasting glossy finish.

Q.How do you keep your skin looking so radiant?

.I have three-step regime for my face and I exfoliate once a week. I also use body butter with exfoliator to give my skin a glow. I also use a crème body wash for bathing as it leaves my skin soft and moist.

Q.What would you advice those with dry skin? 

.Tissue oil is the best remedy for dry skin and not only in winter, all year round. It moisturises and repairs your skin. It can also be used on the face. 

Q. What products do you use on your body to keep the skin moisturised and even-toned?

.I love Palmers products, I use their gel for the day and Cocoa butter at night. 

Q. Can you share with us any of your beauty secret that have worked for you

.Here is a simple remedy that works for me and my skin. Drink rooibos tea with lemon, day and night. It gives your skin a glow and not only that, it also kills anti-oxidants and revives the skin too. 

Q. Nowadays, you get body scrubs, wraps and so forth. Do you do any of the body treatments and how do they help the skin?

.Body scrubs work but you need to find the one that is suitable for your skin type. You can visit Spa for a body wrap, which relaxes muscles and detoxifies the skin. Some people react badly when using body scrubs as their skin becomes too dry, so rather get a brand that will work well with your own particular skin. 

TIPS

Visit a Spa once a month for a body treatment. It will help your skin glowing.

.Drink at-least eight glasses of water a day.

.Add a few drops of essential oils when bathing such as lavender, jasmine or olive foam bath oil to moisturise your skin.

Welcome back ladies. I hope that shopping for appropriatetools for your quick make-up tips was successful. We will start now a step-by-step make-up application and remember, do not be scared to make mistakes in front of your mirror. Practice makes perfect!

Are you ready? Let’s go.

 Step 1: Foundation

Clip or pull your hair off your face. The face should be freshly cleansed and moisturized. Do not forget your sunscreen if it is day time. Take foundation on a small natural dry-damp sponge. Dab a few blobs of foundation on your forehead making sure to blend properly into your hair line and out to the temples. Dab a bit more on the cheeks and spread under the eyes, sides of the nose and around the lips area, chin and jaw line. Make sure that you have spread evenly all over.

Step 2: Concealer

If you want to get rid of the freckles or dark circles around the eyes, pat on the concealer (which is one shade lighter than your foundation) over the foundation.

 Step 3: Powder

Set you foundation by applying your foundation by applying the powder (either compact or loose) with the powder brush and make sure to remove any excess, by gently going over still with the brush.

Step 4: Eyebrows

Brush your eyebrows to remove any excess of foundation and powder with the eyebrow brush. Sketch color on the existing hair by doing small stroke in between the hair line to fill in the space. DO NOT draw a hard continuous line – it looks artificial

 Step 5: Eye shadow

Choose two or three toning eye shadow shades using your brushes. Cover the eyelid using a medium shade, starting from the inner to the outer corner. Apply shadow to your eyes in parallel, one shade at a time, generally putting the darker shadow just above the crease of the socket, blending it smoothly into the lid color.

Step 6: Eyeliner

Eyeliner is optional with eye shadows. It can also stand alone. Use it to emphasize the eyes or for sophisticated effects. Start from the inner corner of the eyelid towards the outer corner, drawing the line close to the lash base.

 Step 7: Mascara

Use the eyelash curler before applying the mascara.

Hold your mascara wand horizontally to your upper lash and

stroke upwardly into the lashes. Do not forget the lower lashes!

Hold the wand vertically and paint mascara to these tiny lashes.

Step 8: Blusher

The eyes should dominate the blusher. You would prefer a gentle glow of freshness and radiance. Always blend with the brush so the blush does not look like patches or lines. Smile brightly to see the “apple” of your cheeks, drop the smile and stroke your blush working on an outwards direction (towards the temple)

 Step 9: Lips

 Using your lip liner, which should be the same color as your lipstick, redefine the lip’s contour.Then using a lip brush fill in the lips with the lipstick or gloss.

 Step 10: Finishing touches

 Do your hair, put on your earrings, spray on your fragrance – you are gorgeous and ready!!!

 There you are ladies, your 10 step towards enhancing your beauty. Hope you enjoy our little tips and don’t forget to have fun when applying your make up.
