Combined pedicure: what is it and how is it done?

Beautiful and well-groomed nails should be not only on the hands, but also on the feet, so the fair sex visit beauty salons not only for a pedicure, but also for a pedicure.

Previously, the primacy belonged to the classic edged pedicure, later it was slightly replaced by the hardware version of such a procedure. Nowadays, most of the masters offer a combination pedicure. Let's figure out what it is, and how such a procedure is carried out.

A combined pedicure is an amalgamation of a range of services designed to take care of your feet. The main advantage of such a procedure is the ability to take into account the peculiarities of the girl's skin and nails, as a result of which the maximum effect is achieved, which will last for a long period.

A combined pedicure consists of the following procedures:

• hardware that allows you to put your toes in order;
• edged, which allows the master to work out in detail individual sections of the cuticle.

An integrated approach provides the fair sex with perfect care for both nails and skin of the legs and feet. In addition, carrying out such a procedure allows you to speed up the process of restoring damaged skin areas (for example, during the formation of corns).

Thanks to the combination of both hardware and trim pedicure, this procedure can be performed even by girls with very sensitive skin on their legs.They develop corns, calluses or blisters when they switch from demi-season to summer shoes or vice versa. They cannot carry out only an edging pedicure, since the skin is already traumatized, and it must be carefully processed using soft nozzles for hardware manipulation.

In turn, a hardware pedicure cannot cope with a coarse or overgrown cuticle, and here the cuticle comes to the rescue. In addition, if the nail plate is thin, cutting off the top layer with the help of the apparatus can severely injure it.

Since during such a manipulation, the skin is greatly softened and the risk of cutting off a lot of the epidermis, including healthy ones, increases. This leads to the fact that it is very painful for girls to step on their feet until the natural process of skin regeneration takes place.

Combined pedicure combines the advantages of both techniques.

Combined pedicure has several advantages over other foot care techniques.

• Women's legs are given a well-groomed appearance due to the fact that the skin that has grown on the surface of the marigold is removed, thus it is possible to cope with the problem of ingrown nails.
• The marigolds visually appear a little larger after the excess cuticle has been removed.
• You can transform your nails beyond recognition by giving them the desired shape.
• Coarse areas of the skin on the feet are completely removed.
• The young lady gets rid of corns and calluses.

• Any decorative coating can be applied to the nails.
• The dermis is not injured, since each section of the skin is worked out taking into account the characteristics of each girl.
• The combined pedicure procedure can be done no more than once a month. Thanks to this, you save money on trips to the beauty salon. At the same time, your legs are in a well-groomed condition, as if you are performing procedures much more often.

This procedure is devoid of disadvantages as such. The only drawback may be the lack of professionalism of the master, who has not mastered the perfect technique of performing hardware pedicure. In the course of inept work with the machine, you can injure the nail plate or the skin of the foot.

You cannot immediately after steaming, proceed to the procedure of skin resurfacing, because this way you not only will not achieve the desired result, but you can also get burrs over the entire surface of the foot. In addition, wet skin will clog into the sander, reducing the efficiency of the sander.

Therefore, carefully follow all the actions of the master. It is worthwhile to carefully approach the choice of a salon, focusing on customer reviews, as well as the experience and professionalism of nail masters.

Technology for performing a complex procedure for the care of feet and nails consists of several manipulations.

• Visual assessment of the condition of nails and heels - a specialist carefully examines the condition of the nails and skin. Clarify whether you have any contraindications, existing allergic reactions and manifestations. In addition, the nail master discusses whether a decorative covering of the marigold and some kind of design is necessary.
• Disinfection - with the help of a special disinfectant, the hands of the master and the legs of the client are treated. All instruments must undergo a preliminary sterilization procedure so that there is no risk of infection.
• Carrying out water procedures - the girl lowers her legs into a bath with pre-heated water. The temperature of the water should be comfortable; a few drops of essential oil or sea salt are added to it to improve the effect of steaming the skin.The legs should be in the water for about 15 minutes.

• Implementation of the scrubbing process - after the skin on the legs has steamed and become soft, the master will apply a scrub. It can include particles of sugar, salt, or certain minerals. Carrying out gentle massaging movements, the specialist will carefully remove the keratinized and dead layer of the dermis.
• Correction of nails - the old decorative coating is removed. The master removes dirt particles, cuts the length of the nail and polishes its surface. Then he starts working with the cuticle, removing its excess part.
• Working with feet - while a beauty salon specialist deals with your nails, the skin on the feet and heels will dry out. Using a pedicure file, grater or pumice stone, the master processes the rough dermis on the heels, and then proceeds to the hardware part of the pedicure. Toes, feet and heels will be polished with special care. Calluses and other defects of the skin are gradually removed.

• Nail design - at the request of the client, they are decorated with the help of design or painting.
• The final stage - a fat cream is applied to the dermis of the legs, which is characterized by nourishing properties. The nail master performs a light massage of the feet until the product is completely absorbed into the skin.

Such a technique for performing complex manipulations excludes water procedures and steaming of the legs.

Let's consider this process in stages.

• Assessment of the condition of the legs and nails, disinfection are carried out by analogy with the previous version.
• A remover is applied - a special substance that allows you to cope with corns, cracks and rough skin. Napkins are applied on top of the area treated with the remover, and the legs are wrapped in cling film. Leave them in this state for 6-10 minutes.
• After the specified time has elapsed, the film is removed and the remaining part of the remover is removed.

• The process of processing the feet involves the use of the apparatus with the included low speed mode. Particular attention will be paid to the areas of the legs where the remover was applied.
• Further, by analogy with the previous option, the nail plate is processed, during which the old decorative coating is removed, the nails are trimmed, the excess cuticle is cut off.
• At the final stage, a decorative coating is applied, and a nourishing cream is applied to the skin of the legs.

As you can see a combination pedicure is a safe way to get your feet in order. The main thing is to choose a high-class experienced nail master, and then beautiful and well-groomed legs will delight you for a very long time.
