Step By Step Advice For Pedicure At Home

Thanks to our fast-paced lives, it often happens that we don’t find the time to visit the salon for our beauty regimes. Even if we do, we’re so concentrated on our facial beauty that our feet are usually left ignored. But not anymore. With this easy-to-follow step by step method for a home pedicure, we can now revel in the pleasure of having clean and happy feet at all time.


What you need?

Here is everything that you need to have by your side to get those sparkling clean feet:

  • A tub of hot water
  • Few towels
  • A nail paint remover
  • A foot scrub
  • Manicure kit (nail cutter, nail filer, and nail buff)
  • A cuticle softener (optional)
  • A foot file
  • A moisturiser
  • A toes separator (optional)
  • A nail paint

Now that you have what you need. Let’s get started with the process.

Step 1: Clean & Soak


Use your nail paint remover to remove old nail colour. Now, add some liquid soap or body wash to the tub of hot water. Also, add a pinch of salt and that of sugar. Dip your feet in this water and let them soak for about 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 2: File

Now, take out one of your feet from the water, dab a little with the towel and use the foot file to scrub the heels. Repeat the same with the other foot.

Step 3: Scrub

Now, using a foot scrub of your choice, exfoliate the skin gently. Don’t be too harsh, else you will risk getting some unwanted rashes. If you don’t want to go for an artificial scrub, you can use ground coffee for this purpose. Once you’re done scrubbing, dip your feet in the water again.

Step 4: Shape

You can now cut and file your nails and give them the desired shape. Make use of your manicure kit to perform this step efficiently. With the help of a buff, smoothen each nail.

Step 5: Cuticles

Apply a drop of cuticle softener on the base of every toenail. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes. Then, use a cuticle pusher to push back the cuticles of each toe. Here, make sure that you use the curbed end of the cuticle pusher against the base of the nails. Dip your feet again and remove any leftover softener.

Step 6: Polish

Its now time to give your nails a finishing touch by applying your favourite nail paint. You may or may not use toe separators for this step. Once applied, wait for the nail paint to dry off completely.

Step 7: Moisturise

Simply apply a good moisturiser to help your skin stay hydrated for the next couple of hours.


While this is fairly easy to do, if you wish to enjoy your pedicure even more you can also call in for salon services at home and revel in a completely laid back foot care session!
