FEET

HOW TO GIVE YORSELF A PEDICURE :

1. Remove the nail-varnish completely.

2. Cut your toe-nails to the desired length. Make sure that they are not long, if you are going to wear closed shoes. However, with an open sandal you can wear them slightly longer Use a good nail-cutter to trim your nails with.

3. File the nails into a shape which is suitable for the toes. Do not have them pointed. It is best to file the nails straight, and slightly rounded off at the ends.

4. Soak toes in a basin of hotwater for 10 minutes. If the feet need a lot of cleaning, then add 3 table spoons of ordinary hair shampoo to the hot water before soaking them in it.

5. After that, scrub your feet throughtly with a pumicestone, and the toes with an old, discarded hair-brush.

6. Apply cuticle-remover with an orange-wood stick all alsong the cuticle, and push the skin back gently to remove the dead cuticle which grows inside. Dont forget to clean under the nail too.

7. Use hot olive-oil to massage your toe-nails and heels for about five minutes.

8. Wash and dry your feet thoroughly.

9. Use a good body lotion to massage your feet, leaving out the nails.

Separate the toes from each other with a swab of cotton-wool, so that the nail-varnish, when applied, should not get smudged. Apply the nail-varnish carefully and let it dry before you step into your footwear.
