What is a combined pedicure?

The procedure for skin care and nails is called a pedicure, which is known to almost every girl. Moreover, it is divided into several types: hardware, edging, SPA. And not all are recommended to perform only one. So there was a combined pedicure.

What's the procedure

Combined pedicure is a combination of trimming and hardware type of exposure. That is, the legs during the procedure are processed with a special machine and tools. This allows you to quickly and efficiently make the skin and nails well-groomed. Sometimes just one procedure is enough for this.

Who is suitable

The pedicure procedure is in demand not only in the summer season, when open shoes are worn, but, strangely enough, in winter. And at any other time of the year. Combined pedicure because of its uniqueness by combining two technologies at once has its own testimony. So, the owners of tender and sensitive skin, on which, when changing one type of shoes to another, calluses, blisters and burrs appear, only the edged form will not help. Moreover, with such a technology during pedicure, there is a risk of injury.

Treatment of the skin around the nails with the device is not always effective: the cuticle can not be removed completely, and when cutting the pterygium, the surface of the nail is sometimes damaged. In addition, those who have very dense skin on the soles are categorically contraindicated in steaming. When removing old calluses and corns after the bath, there is a risk during the edged pedicure to remove too much skin, including healthy ones. Therefore, it is the combined pedicure that is the best way to bring the legs into order.

How is it performed in the salon

Since the combined pedicure combines both the trimming technique and the hardware, the procedure usually begins in the salon of the master with the soaking of the legs. In a bath with nourishing oils or lotions, the skin is steamed for 5-10 minutes. After this, with the help of nippers and scissors, the cuticle is removed, nails are cut off.

Performing work as carefully and carefully as possible, so as not to cause injury to the client. In addition, the procedure is performed exclusively by sterilized instruments. A mold is attached to the nails. When the skin of the legs completely dry out, with the help of different attachments on the pedicure apparatus, the cornified layer is removed from the heels, feet, pads of fingers. The procedure is carried out as neatly as possible. And only on dry skin! Otherwise, the nozzles (cutters) will be clogged with damp, horny skin, which will reduce the effectiveness of the procedure to a minimum. After the pedicure is finished, the legs are rinsed in warm water and blotted with a towel.

How to Make a Home

Often girls try to save on a hike in the salon, so they carry out the procedure at home. It is worth noting that a full combined pedicure is possible only if there is a professional or semi-professional apparatus. Those that are sold in stores for home use for 300-500 rubles, will not work. They can not cope with too rough skin of the legs, so the procedure will be almost useless.

In general, pedicure at home is exactly the same as in the salon. With the only difference is that the nozzles and cutters will have to be selected independently. To make the pedicure safe and effective, you can rub the legs with a pumice stone or a special brush before processing. In this case, the machine will only carefully and gently ground the feet. After finishing the procedure, you can apply a decorative coating on your nails. And, by the way, without this, many do not imagine a pedicure. Design can be anything, but there are also fashion trends in this direction.

How to decorate your toenails

Fashion trends pedicure to date dictate the following conditions: the design of the nails of the hands and feet, if possible, must either coincide, or be sustained in a single color scheme. And it looks really stylish! When you make yourself a certain design on your hands, you can immediately ask the master (or yourself) to perform it on your feet.

Cost, by the way, in the salon is more expensive it will be a pedicure. The design on the toenails is more difficult to make - the area for work, as a rule, is smaller. There is a universal option that fits all without exception, - a French jacket. On his feet he looks as impressive, stylish and fashionable as on his hands. Therefore, if there is absolutely no idea what to add to the pedicure, you can refer to the ageless classics. If necessary, the master in the salon can increase the free edge to perform an even smile line. And on the big finger, even something to draw. And yes - a simple lacquer on the nails of the legs is not maintained for longer than on the hands. Therefore, you can ignore the expensive procedure with gel-varnish, using the most usual and familiar varnish.
