Pedicure pointers~ Advice from Hairthurium

Hairthuriums tips and advice for maintaining your
professional  pedicure results at
home.  Give your feet some TLC,  sloughing, moisturizing, and proper nail
shaping are just a few of the required practices for healthy feet. Visits to a
professional nail tech, are worth the investment! The following are a few
thoughts from Hairthurium to keep up at home.

Before we get into the ways to make your pedicure last
longer, let’s not forget to keep up on the upkeep of our feet! Having a nice
polish job always can make our feet look more presentable, but not if you have
dry, callused skin! Use a pumice stone to regularly slough off dead skin from
your feet to keep them soft, smooth and sandal-worthy!

This might be another pedicure tip that I don’t need to
remind you of, but let’s review it just in case. If you’re not already
moisturizing on a regular basis, it’s a must that you start! Moisturizing your
feet not only helps your pedicure look better by keeping your skin and cuticles
soft and hydrated, but it also helps your feet stay smooth and look great in
between trips to the salon!

 Another easy pedicure
tip that we often forget to do is to top off our pedicure with a top coat! If
you want your toes to maintain the high shine and luster, you’ve got to reapply
a top coat .All Top Coats typically lose their luster over time, so prevent
your polish from dulling, and keep your toes looking fresh with a touch-up!

 You know what else
kills a pedicure-heat! We might think that once we get our fast-dry top coat on
our nails, we’re pretty much good to go, but not quite yet. Nail polish takes
about 12 hours to harden so if you get your pedi and run to the sauna or jump
in a hot tub, you’re running the risk of ruining your pedicure!

Maintain healthy toenails, cuticles, and feet with regular
visits to the salon. Be very careful when choosing the right place to pamper
your tootsies, it takes specific disinfecting practices to ensure the
cleanliness of pedicure tubs and equipment. At Hairthurium, Denise takes
special care to properly clean her tools and spa. Developing a fungus or
infection from improper sterilization would be an awful experience.
