How to Give A Pedicure

This article was mostly written for the guys to know how to give their wife/girlfriend/friend etc a pedicure, as most women know how, but also for those women who may not know how. Anyone you do this to is going to be very grateful.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Foot Bath w/different settings(Can be bought at many different stores)
• Foot lotion
• Foot scrub
• Foot soak
• Pumice stone
• Toenail clippers
• Emery board
• Towel
• Very warm water
• A wall plug (to plug the foot bath into)

1. Have the person receiving the pedicure sit down in a comfy chair that is somewhat nearby a wall plug.

2. Kneel or sit down in front of their feet and proceed to clip their toenails to the desired length. See Tips.

3. Get the foot bath and add very warm water to it.

4. Set it down in front of the person, and plug it in.

5. Add the proper amount of foot soak(according to bottles instructions).

6. Place the towel beside the foot bath.

7. Have the person place their feet inside the foot bath and turn it to the desired setting.

8. Relax for 15 minutes while the foot soak and foot bath massager work to soften the feet (and calluses on them).

9. Have the person remove their feet and set them on the towel.

10. Open the foot scrub and squeeze a quarter sized amount onto one of the feet.

11. Massage in the scrub, concentrating on areas where the skin is rough and callused.

12. Repeat for the other foot.

13. Have the person put both feet back in the foot bath and wash off the foot scrub.

14. Remove feet from the foot bath and dry them off with the towel.

15. Grab the pumice stone and rub it over the remaining calluses. See warnings.

16. Open the foot lotion, squeeze a small amount into your hands and begin to massage one of their feet all over.

17. Repeat step 16 for the other foot.

Tips & Warnings

• You can usually find foot spa kits at certain stores, look around the stores in your area that might carry one. They usually have better quality items then the grocery store.
• People have differing opinions as to whats too short and whats too long for toenails, so be sure to ask the person what they would like.
• If you'd like, while massaging the feet with the lotion you can also massage from the knees down in a downward motion.
• Dont make the water scalding, this is supposed to be relaxing, not torture.
• When using the Pumice stone, don't rub too hard or you will scrape skin off, and they probably wouldn't like that.
