Scrubbing
Take a pumice stone, (a light porous volcanic rock) and scrub it on your feet. Make sure that you are applying equal pressure to all parts. Too much pressure can create rashes on your skin. Squeeze the require quantity of foot scrub in your hands and apply it on the top and bottom of your feet. This will help to exfoliate the remaining dead cells. Finally, wash your feet in clean water and allow it to dry.
Tending cuticles
Apply honey or cuticle softening balm on your toenails to remove the dead skin. You can even use a small nail file or cuticle tool to snip the dead skin. Be careful and make sure you are cutting only the dead skin. Finally, apply some moisturising cream on your feet.
Applying nail polish
For applying nail polish you can place toe separators in between each toe. It will help you to paint your nails comfortably. First, apply the base coat and allow it to dry. After one or two minutes you can apply your favourite nail colour.
It not only for beautifying your feet but also naturally this way of doing pedicure will relax your leg muscles and make the blood circulation normal. As our feet holds our full body weight every time we stand and work, high pressure is given to the nerves of our lower part of the legs. So sometimes the blood cannot flow against this pressure. Thus, stays or moves slowly towards up. This pedicure makes this to settle down and give a good functionality to the nerves and muscles.
