Home Pedicure for Soft and Bright Feet

Hello readers.. Hope you all like the reviews I wrote about Vivel active fair fairness cream and Ponds face wash in my previous posts. In this post I am gonna instruct you all how to do a PERFECT PEDICURE AT HOME for soft feet. Feet lifts our body and It works as a locomotive organ. Day by day, many dead skin cells form the top skin layer of the feet and make it rough and horrible to look. Many of us really don’t realize how important it is to take care of our precious feet properly. Follow the ways I have given below for soft, bright and beautiful feet.
To write a review here, I did pedicure today. 🙂 🙂 🙂 I am attaching the steps with pictures to explain you all clearly about HOME PEDICURE. Enjoy..!! Share this useful post with your friends and family.


STEP 1

Trim your feet nails and shape them properly. Remove old nail polish. (There was no need to trim my nails today as I don’t have long nails 😀 )

STEP 2
Fill a small tub (As in the picture below) with warm water. The water shouldn’t be too hot or less warm. The heat should be bearable for your feet. Mix a handful of salt and any shampoo in this water and make it lather. Soak your feet in this tub of warm soap water and allow your damaged and rough feet to get soft by the warmness. See this picture, this is how I done today. 🙂 🙂


After 15 minutes of soaking feet in warm water, Scrub your feet edges and rough parts with a foot scrubber (See the picture below). If you don’t have a foot scrubber get a pumice stone or loofah to scrub your feet. Scrub gently in the sensitive parts and harder on the rough areas to remove all the dead skin cells which give your feet a unpleasant dark and rough horrible look. Scrub both foot for at least 10 minutes.


After the scrubbing process is complete, take your legs out of the soap water and wash your feet with lots of clean and cold water. Wipe with soft towel and moisturize immediately with any cold cream or moisturizer for nourishment. Your pedicure is complete now 😀 :D.. All you have is soft and beautiful feet now. Both guys and girls can do this once in 15 days to beautify and protect your feet. Polish your nails after pedicure if you wish. THE BEST TIME TO DO PEDICURE IS AT NIGHT BEFORE GOING TO BED.


MY FEET AFTER PEDICURE 🙂 🙂 🙂


Hope you all like this post and its useful for you all. Kindly share this post with your friends and feel free to write feedback and suggestions 🙂 🙂 I am glad to reply you all and solve your beauty issues. 🙂 🙂 I feel very tired now. I am gonna eat and sleep now so I will write my review about CLEAN AND CLEAR FACE WASH tomorrow. Good night guys and girls :) 🙂

Hair Care Regime for Soft and Strong Hair

1 Reply
Beautiful hair beautifies a person. Maintaining your hair soft, supple and shiny is not a hardest thing. A few simple tips make a good hair care regimen which protects and develops the beauty of your hair. Till the age of 12, I never cared about my hair. It was very long that it was about to touch my knees. Because of improper maintenance and diet my hair got dry and started appearing like brush. Seeing this my mom took me to the parlor and had cut my long hair.. 🙁 Now I am 16 and having a super supple hair because of my good maintenance. Most of my friends are jealous of my soft hair 🙂 Today I am going to share with you, my simple hair care regimen which made me get my lovely hair.

1. OILING… OILING… OILING is the first and best tip for healthy hair.

BENEFITS OF OILING HAIR
a) Nourishes hair and scalp by moisturizing it.
b) Improves blood circulation in the scalp and makes hair roots strong.
c) Cool downs the body and relax us from stress.
d) Cures dandruff and adds shine to hair.
e) Strengthens weak and brittle hair

  I oil my hair twice a week two hours before washing my hair because I don’t like to leave the oil in my hair. You can leave the oil overnight if you are comfortable with it. Coconut oil, Olive oil and other good branded oil works best on hair. We can make our own hair oil at home which provides great hair growth and softness.

HOMEMADE HAIR OIL

Ingredients
1. Amla powder (Gooseberry)
2. Tulsi podwder ( Holy basil)
3. Coconut or Castor oil

Method
  • Mix the ingredients with oil and heat it. Filter the oil and store it in a clean bottle and keep it in a clean, dry place.
  • Take a little amount of oil and heat it whenever needed. Massage your hair and scalp with this hot oil and leave for a while before washing. By this hot oil massage, the oil penetrates deeper into the scalp and nourishes it well.

2. The second thing I have done to get my healthy hair is CONDITIONING..!! Yes. Conditioning my hair does the trick. After you shampoo  your hair, it loses the moisture, natural oils and become dry, which easily leads into breakage of hair. Dry and thin hair breaks easily, so you have to condition your hair to nourish it and prevent hair breakage. You can buy any branded conditioner like Dove, L’Oreal Paris or Garnier. I have tried these three products and three of them were really good. If you don’t want to buy, you can make your own conditioner at home. It is very easy and natural. Here’s how..

Homemade Hair Conditioner
Mix Curd with lemon juice and apply over your hair and scalp after shampooing. Leave for 5 minutes and rinse thoroughly with plenty of clean water without leaving any residue. (This surely doesn’t make your hair smells odd. I have tried it). By using this conditioner your hair shines like silk and you would love to run your fingers through your soft hair all the time.

3. VITAMINS AND MINERALS
Inner health is more important than the outer maintenance for strong and supple healthy hair. I take a folic acid pill, Vitamin b3 pill and Vitamin A, C, E pills everyday to maintain good hair health. If you’re not lazy like me, you can get these vitamins by natural food intake like Egg, milk, greens and vegetables.

That’s all friends.. Follow these 3 procedures without fail to have really HEALTHY, SUPER SOFT, DANDRUFF FREE, STRONG and LONG HAIR :). Within a week, you will start to see astonishing results.
