Soak Your Toes for a Pedicure

Soaking your feet during a pedicure can be a really relaxing and enjoyable experience. With some warm water, Epsom salt, scented oil and a couple of other tools, you will be on your way to feet relaxation heaven.

Steps

  1. Fill a plastic tub with warm water. Make sure it is warm, for cold or hot water will not help make it more enjoyable or relaxing.
  2. After that, add Epsom salt to the water. If you would like a more relaxing, spa-like pedicure experience, you can also add in your your favorite scented oil.
  3. Now, place your feet in the water and soak for at least ten whole minutes. Try using a timer. Soaking your feet as long as possible will help you remove the dead skin easily later.
  4. After soaking, remove one foot (right or left, your preference) from the water and leave the other to soak.
  5. Rub a pumice stone on the bottom of your foot (the one taken out from the water), concentrating on the roughest areas. Foot files also work well for removing dead skin. Try both to see what works best for you.
  6. Place the foot you just scrubbed back into the water and repeat the previous step on the opposite foot.
  7. Remove your feet from the water and gently pat them dry.

Tips

  • Make the most of your soaking time during your pedicure by reading your favorite magazine, listening to music or surfing the net. The longer your feet soak, the softer they will feel.

Warnings

  • Please, never use a pumice stone on the tops of your feet. Focus on the heel and the big toe.
