Simple Home Pedicure

Pedicure is a way to improve the appearance of the feet, and nails. The word pedicure comes from the latin word pes, which means foot, and cura, which means care. It also means the care of the feet and toe nails. There is no need to go to a saloon for pedicure. Follow easy steps at home and get beautiful feet.


1. Soak the feet in warm water, adding a few drops of dettol or any other disinfectant. Scrub the toe nails with a fairly stiff nail- brush. Rub any hard skin with a pumic stone. Never try to cut hard skin as this can be dangerous. Dry the feet carefully, especially between the toes.

2. Massage the feet with a little foot cream. ( Better buy one containing menthol which is very cooling).

3. Apply cuticle cream around the nails.

4. Using an orange stick, wrapped with a twist of cotton wool and dipped in cuticle remover, gently press the cuticle back. The cuticle should never be cut unless the edges are engaged.

5. Cut the nails straight across and then smooth the edges with an emery-board. The nails should not be so short that the soft flesh at the ends of the toe is exposed.

6. Use a little varnish remover on cotton wool to dry off the nails and remove any cream.

7. Cotton wool pads can now be put between the toes. This is to avoid smudging- and the varnish applied, covering the whole nail and over the tip.

Ways to Take Care of Your Feet

Beauty starts with the feet. The most beautiful face will show the strain of tired , aching feet. They will also cause a loss of balance in your walk and promote tension and irritability. Never wear high heels, pointed toes, etc, as these prove harmful with difficult feet. Women usually persuade themselves to sacrifice comfort for smartness. The following simple exercise will help a great deal when the feet have constricted in shoes all day.


1. Sit with legs crossed. Rotate the feet six times towards each other and six times away from each other.

2. Sit with legs stretched, straight out in front. Bend the toes up as far possible and then down as far as possible.

3. Put a pencil on the floor and try to pick it up with your toes. This will strengthen the feet.

4. Sit on a chair with feet on the floor and spread out the toes as far as you can. This will tone up the feet muscles.


If you have troubled feet, consult a chiropodist. The trouble generally is caused by a fungus and is very contaginous. It starts by a slight redness and itching but as it gets worse the skin flakes off in white sheds. After bathing,it is essential to dry well between the toes and to dust with a medicated talcum powder. If the condition does not clear up; it is advisable to see the doctor.
