What is it about a professional manicure and pedicure that makes it a powerfully therapeutic experience? I swear that I can walk into a nail salon, and an hour later, walk out a brand new woman.
Process
Soak your hands for two to three minutes and your feet for five minutes. Now, time to exfoliate! We love Tree Hut’s affordable body scrub, but for an easy at-home fix, just mix one tablespoon of sugar with one tablespoon of baby oil gel and gently scrub away the dead, dry cells. It smells fantastic and leaves your skin feeling like silk. Rinse and pat dry.
Soften your cuticles by rubbing a bit of oil on them. By now, your cuticles should be nice and soft, so go ahead and push them back with an orangewood stick to get a really nice shape. You can also use this tool to clean the dirt from under the nail.
