Tips for Perfect Pedicure in Winters:
Tip #1 Soak your feet in warm water
By now we all know that dry feet are common during the winter season. Hence to get rid of dry and cracked heels, soak your feet in warm water for a few minutes to hydrate the skin. Note that water should not be hot because it can otherwise strip the natural skin’s moisture leaving your skin drier. Add some salt to warm water, sit back, relax, and w ait until your feet become softer. This winter feet care tip is simple but has a significant impact on your feet health.
Tip #2 Exfoliate to remove dead skin
Once you are done soaking your feet in warm water, the next step is to exfoliate. Exfoliation is the key for healthy and smooth feet at home. All you need to use is Vega Foot File which is specially designed to remove hard, rough, and calluses surfaces on feet. The results are – smooth and softer feet in the comfort of your home. This is a dual sided pedicure tool that comes with a detachable metal file and ergonomically designed which makes it easy to use. It is perfect to get rid of the dead skin layer. Add this to your winter feet care routine as per your need. Follow up with moisturizer consisting of rich ingredients like shea butter or coconut oil. You can also lather your feet with moisturizer and wear socks overnight. This will help to lock in the hydration overnight.
P.S.- Couple the wonder stone – Vega Pumice Stone to scrub away dead skin layer and achieve smooth skin like never before. Be gentle and don’t overdo it. Learn how to use pumice stone if you are new to this.
Tip #3 Trim & shape your nails
Feet care also includes nail care. We often wear socks, shoes, or boots during the cold season that can squish or compress our feet, so regular nail trimming and shaping are important to avoid ingrown nails or painful pressure points. So, trim and shape your nails using any Vega Nail Clipper and Vega Nail Filer. These nail care tools by Vega are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. The nail clipper helps to trim the nails with precision and utmost ease. On the other hand, nail filer helps to smooth out the uneven and rough edges. Does it get any easier than this?
Tip #4 Don’t forget the cuticles
As you begin your cold weather pedicure guide at home, don’t forget to give due attention to your cuticles. Winter weather can also dry out your cuticles, leading to hangnails or painful cracks. Hence, push back your cuticles gently using Vega Cuticle Nipper which is a ultra-sharp manicure and pedicure tool to smoothly trim hangnails and cuticles. Its ergonomic design makes it easy to use while its extra sharp, hand-filed precision blades assure ultimate performance to leave your nails well groomed.
Tip #5 Maintain feet hygiene
Dry, cracked heels and fungal infections often go hand-in-hand in the colder months, so it’s important to maintain proper foot hygiene. Ensure your feet are clean and dry before applying moisturizer. Wear shoes and boots that allow your feet to breathe and avoid bad foot odor.
