At Home Pedicures

I know how we all love to be pampered, but in this economic climate not all of us can.  Follow these simple steps for an awesome at home pedicure.
    
      1. Remove nail polish then soak your feet in warm water and Pedi Soak.
      2. Use a Pedro Stone to work off the rough edges around the bottom of your feet, focusing on your heal   area. 
      3. Let feet soak for a few more minutes to rinse off removed dead skin cells.
      4. Dry your feet and nails.
      5. Apply cuticle remover with a Q-Tip using a rolling movement to slightly push cuticles back.
      6. Clip nails and file them smooth.  When you are filing your nails make sure you are using smooth strokes starting at the edges and swiping the file towards the center of the nail. (For thin nails do this as step #1)
      7. Clean out products from under the free edge of your nail using your cuticle pusher.
      8. Use a cuticle pusher to gently push back cuticles and then remove the excess cream.
      9. Massage in cuticle oil.
      10. Rub those lovely feet with a massage cream.
      11. Remove excess lotion and oils from nails with a gentle polish remover.
      12. Apply a base coat, polish and finish with a top coat.
