The duration of the Spa pedicure is two hours. The furnishings of the office promote maximum relaxation: beautiful design, pleasant calm music, aromatherapy.

Softening

Pedicure begins with steaming the skin of the feet. To do this, they are immersed in a bath with an antiseptic solution. It would be good if the bath was a hydromassage one.

The skin will become soft and prepared for the next stages. Dead epidermal cells will be easily separated from the skin so that it becomes smooth and soft. The epidermis of the feet is thick, and after the bath it will become permeable to nutrients, and they will pass deep.

Cleansing

The next stage is cleansing. It is carried out either with a grinding machine or a scrub.

Dead skin areas are mechanically removed from the surface of the feet, this stimulates cell regeneration and rejuvenation. A scrub based on sea salt is suitable for the procedure. In this case, salt particles serve as the abrasive.

For a Spa pedicure, a moisturizing scrub is used to make the procedure softer for the skin and speed up the recovery process.

Since the skin on the feet is rough and there are often corns or calluses, one scrub will not be enough for complete cleansing. For this manipulation, special products containing fruit acids are used. They deeply and carefully cleanse the skin of remaining lifeless cells. After this procedure, the legs become perfectly smooth and look healthy.

Then the feet are washed with warm water and proceed to the next stage.

Nutrition

A nourishing and moisturizing mask is applied to the feet. It contains natural ingredients, vitamins, and oils. The most useful are algae masks, as they contain a huge amount of microelements.

The massage is carried out using a special technique, which has a gentle effect on the energetic points of the feet. Each area of ​​the foot has a nervous and energetic connection with the internal organs; each point has its own specific organ.

Thus, massage relaxes the entire body, relieves muscle tension, relieves fatigue and headaches. Under the influence of a massage, blood circulation in the legs improves and more nutrients are supplied. After the procedure, you will feel fresh and rejuvenated.

Paraffin wraps

Paraffin wraps are done before or after the massage.

They enhance the effects of other stages and make the skin very smooth and silky. Heat penetrates deeply into the tissues and stimulates their metabolism, nourishing the skin. Paraffin is famous for its moisturizing and rejuvenating effect.

The spa pedicure ends with a cooling lemon or mint tonic. Then the specialist deals with nail treatment and decoration.

Products for SPA Pedicure

SAWING PRODUCTS

They are added to pedicure baths designed to soften the skin of the feet. They must contain an antiseptic to disinfect the feet, a humectant and a surfactant (surface tension factor), which facilitates the penetration of active ingredients into the tissues. Dead Sea salts are considered one of the best surfactants. Due to the large amount of minerals, such as potassium, magnesium, calcium and sodium, they provide excellent tissue hydration. Along with artificial ones, natural antiseptics, such as tea tree oil, can also be used. If the product contains soap, it should be very mild, closer to shampoo.

SCRUBS

They are used to facilitate the removal process or soften the skin, especially in the callus area. Scrub must have abrasive properties to perform this function, but at the same time not be so aggressive as to remove living skin. IN scrubs for pedicure, they usually contain either particles of sea sand, or ground apricot or almond seeds, or pumice, or simply quartz crystals or small plastic beads. The scrub formula may also contain vitamins, various aromatic oils and other moisturizers, which further improve the condition of the skin of the feet. You can also treat the skin of your feet with a special pedicure file; they are available for sale in a large variety today, including in our studio.

MASSAGE PRODUCTS

Massage oils used to reduce friction, moisturize and energize the skin. They allow the massage therapist's hands to glide freely over the skin. The rate at which the skin absorbs oil is determined by its molecular weight - the larger the molecule, the slower it is absorbed... Lanolin and mineral oils are excellent examples of large molecules that do not penetrate the skin, because massage oil should not be absorbed quickly. Most products used for foot massage are a mixture of therapeutic oils that are intended to improve the health of the skin, such as jojoba oil or oils with vitamin E. Glycerin or silicone can be added to reduce friction during massage.

Massage lotions contain smaller molecules and are therefore more quickly absorbed by tissues. They may contain small amounts of fruit acids and special oils that give the skin a healthy and elastic appearance. They can be used at the end of a pedicure to extend the period of softening and moisturizing the skin. If these products are chosen correctly, they help reduce calluses. Common lotion ingredients include tea tree oil, vitamin E and jojoba.

Reflexology massage usually performed during a pedicure, since the main “object” of influence in this type of massage is the feet. The fact is that it is on the soles that the largest number of reflexogenic points are located, which are functionally connected to a specific organ of the body. By pressing on one or another point on the sole, you can activate or suppress the activity of the corresponding organs. In addition to the health benefits, reflexology is a very pleasant procedure; it improves not only your state of mind, but also contributes to the acquisition of a healthy and prosperous appearance.

ADDITIONAL PRODUCTS

These are products designed to enhance the effects of pedicure. There are a variety of intensive callus softeners that help soften and remove excess skin tags around the heels and pressure points on the soles of the feet. These are, in particular, preparations with a 12-15% content of fruit acids. They are applied directly to the callus and left for a short time (10-15 minutes) to soften the keratinized skin. This then makes it easier to remove the callus using a scrub or file.

Foot masks are formulated with mineral clay, marine extracts, moisturizing fruit acids, aromatherapy oils and other therapeutic skin softeners.

For feet they are also an excellent addition to a pedicure. They also help improve blood circulation, and deep tissue heating helps reduce inflammation. Paraffin also contains aromatic oils, which enhances the pleasant sensations of the procedure. But hot paraffin is not suitable for people with varicose veins, sclerosis and diabetes! In these cases, it can cause skin damage.

Stages of Spa Pedicure

The mask is applied up to the knee with massage movements; after application, the legs are wrapped in a piece of natural fabric (cotton, flannelette, terry towel) in order to achieve a warming effect and allow the substances included in the mask to penetrate deep into the skin.

For the second and third stages, products from the SPA-pedicure series are used - a new elite line of foot care.

However, if you have little free time, then you can skip some steps, but be sure to do them next time along with the others to appreciate the advantages of a true spa pedicure!

• Massage. If you happen to wear high heels, and generally spend a lot of time on your feet, then a massage will help get rid of the pain that you experience at the end, and maybe throughout the entire working day. To perform a relaxing massage and get rid of excruciating pain, rub oil (for example, olive) on your feet. Now take one foot and wrap your fingertips around the sole, pressing your toes tightly to the middle of the foot. Press the balls of your toes into your foot, moving from the middle of the sole down. Do this manipulation 5-10 times. Then grasp the foot again and massage the hollows between the toes, moving from the knuckles to the ankle. With one foot resting on your knee, place the thumbs of both hands on the sole. Press firmly on the sole, massaging it in a circular motion. Tap the sole with your fist and tap the heel. Pat the sole of your hand with the back of your hand, massage each toe, grasping it, and pull a little. Do all these actions with the second foot.
• Foot bath. To prepare the skin and nails for subsequent actions, you need to soften them by placing your feet in a warm bath of water and sea salt, to which a few drops of lavender, sandalwood, orange, lemon or tea tree oil have been added. If you have several favorite oils, you can mix them, thereby preparing a vitamin mix for your feet. The soaking procedure lasts 15 minutes, during which it is a good idea to add rose petals to the water and turn on pleasant relaxing music.
• Peeling. Pumice will help you remove rough skin, but people with dry skin on their feet should be careful when using it. If you want to use pumice to remove dead epidermal cells, then you need to add a couple of teaspoons of olive oil to the foot bath. Do not rub the same area several times - once is enough, otherwise it will harm the skin and cracks will form on it. Proper use of pumice involves moving it from the edges to the middle of the foot or to the heel. Also, instead of pumice, you can use a foot scrub - prepared yourself (we'll talk about this a little later), or purchased at a cosmetic store.
• Applying a foot mask. After the excess layer of epidermis is removed, it’s time to take care of nourishing the skin and nails. To do this, you need to use a foot mask, which should be applied for 15-20 minutes and rinsed off with warm water.
• Trimming nails. After the nails and skin of the feet have received the necessary portion of vitamins, you should take care of the shape of the nails. Initially, trim them using scissors or clippers, trying to give them a rectangular shape to prevent ingrown nails and fungal infections.
• Nutrition. Additionally, apply lotion or foot cream, it can also be another mask or wrap. The mask should be left on for 10-20 minutes and washed off with warm water.
• Polishing. Polish the surface of your nails with a special polishing file.
• Varnish coating. Apply base coat, then base color and topcoat.

All metabolic processes are accelerated, intensive rejuvenation of skin cells occurs. To consolidate the result and protect the layer of young skin, the master applies a moisturizing mask of algae and healing mud to the feet with a brush, or a nourishing cream with essential oils, a variation depending on the wishes of the client and the recommendations of the master. After about 10-15 minutes, the mask is washed off to perform massage the feet and legs with a moisturizing massage lotion.

While the feet are blissful after the massage, the master treats the nails - pushes back and removes the cuticle, trims and polishes the nail plate, coats the nails with varnish or a medicinal composition.

Hardware spa pedicure, paraffin therapy - procedures to improve the condition and appearance of your feet

During hardware foot care, a device is used for intensive grinding with special attachments of the rougher skin of the feet and corns, and softer grinding of the toes. After this, special substances are used that act only on dead skin areas, after exposure to which the skin softens and its unnecessary particles are removed. This is exactly the kind of spa pedicure recommended by doctors for patients with diabetes and pregnant women, because products based on natural ingredients do not have any harmful side effects on the body.

With the help of paraffin therapy, which accelerates blood flow and lymph movement in tissues, the quality of the skin noticeably improves and microcracks disappear. After treatment with an antiseptic solution, the feet are dipped several times in a paraffin solution heated to the desired temperature, after which thermal bags and socks are put on them. After 15 minutes, the paraffin is removed, and a spa pedicure like this, even after one session, allows you to feel an improvement in the condition of the skin, which becomes soft, smooth and elastic.

To improve the condition of the skin of the feet, various means and methods are used, which include spa pedicure. The results of the procedure last for a long period. In this case, you can conduct the session yourself, having prepared the necessary materials.

Spa pedicure

There are a large number of ways to care for the condition of the skin, so many women wonder what a spa pedicure is. The procedure is a type of care for the skin of the feet and nails and consists of several stages, including cleansing the epithelium, aromatherapy, deep nourishment of the skin and foot massage. The relaxation stage is an important aspect of the procedure, which is carried out not only in spa centers, but also in beauty salons.

Differences from regular pedicure

The difference between such a session and a pedicure is the absence of rough effects on the skin. The integrity of the skin is not compromised, since nothing is cut or filed down. Rough areas and calluses are eliminated by dissolving with special means. The process is characterized by a gentle effect without pain or discomfort. The risk of injury is completely eliminated.

Due to the uniform removal of the upper stratum corneum of the skin, the effect of a pedicure is preserved for a long time. In some cases it can last up to 30 days. The session will take about 2 hours.

During the procedure, the person completely relaxes. This is facilitated by special music for meditation or tracks with sounds of nature. In addition, candles and incense are used. Maximum comfort is ensured by equipping the office with pedicure chairs in which you can sit comfortably. Some salons have vibrating massage chairs that massage the client’s lumbar region and back during a pedicure.

During the session, the master uses massage and various drugs that stimulate blood circulation and help relieve fatigue from the lower extremities. Thus, the procedure combines aesthetics and medicine.

What is needed for a spa pedicure

If you decide to carry out the procedure at home, you need to prepare in advance all the necessary tools and cosmetics. For a spa pedicure you will need:

• sea ​​salt;
• pumice;
• bath with warm water;
• a hard sponge or pedicure brush;
• cling film;
• container for preparing scrub;
• essential aromatic oil;
• towel;
• moisturizing cream.

Foot care takes about 2 hours. During this time, the skin is treated with various preparations, therapeutic mud, plant extracts and thermal water. To soften and steam the skin, use a hydromassage.

Fruit acids soften the skin of the feet, and scrubs with small and large exfoliating particles help deeply cleanse the skin. All cosmetics for a spa pedicure should soften and moisturize the epithelium. To do this, it is recommended to use various masks, tonic gels and paraffin wraps.

Spa pedicure technique

The technology for performing a spa procedure includes 3 parts. At the first stage, it is necessary to carry out hardware or classical treatment of the legs. Steaming occurs step by step. First, the feet must be treated with antiseptics, making a bath with a special composition or sea salt. Disinfection is carried out so that toxins do not penetrate into the deep layers of the epidermis.

To steam, feet are immersed in a container of water, the temperature of which is 37-38°C. If the liquid is cold, the procedure will not have the desired effect, and too hot water will cause irritation. Special salts, essential oils and other cosmetics are added to the solution. It is not recommended to perform the steaming procedure for longer than 8-15 minutes, since water helps to dilate blood vessels, increasing the permeability of cells through which beneficial substances enter, and an excess of these substances can have a harmful effect.

Step 2 in spa pedicure: exfoliation

At the second stage, peeling is carried out, which is the removal of dead epithelial cells. First, the skin is treated with a scrub. Scrubbing substances are necessary for:

• soft tissue toning;
• deep cleaning of the surface of the feet;
• improving blood flow through massaging movements;
• nutrition and hydration of the deep layers of the skin;
• removal of dead cells.

Scrubs can use sea salt, pulverized sand, sugar or coffee as the main component. To carry out the procedure, you can use substances with larger particles, such as nut shells and berry seeds. These components are used to treat oily skin.

When scrubbing is completed, a dissolving serum is applied to the skin. It should contain plant extracts and acids. These components penetrate deeply, dissolving compacted areas and destroying calluses and corns.

Scrub recipes for spa pedicure

To carry out the procedure yourself, you can use products prepared according to traditional recipes. Homemade masks and scrubs do not require large expenses, since the ingredients can be found in any housewife’s kitchen. To prepare the scrub you will need:

• sea ​​salt - 1 tbsp. l.;
• dry or liquid cream - 1 tbsp. l.;
• olive oil - 1 tbsp. l.;
• grapefruit oil - a few drops.

All components are thoroughly mixed and applied to the skin.

A coffee-based scrub is no less effective. It requires:

• ground coffee - 1 tbsp. l.;
• sour cream or honey - 1 tbsp. l.

The ingredients are mixed, applied to the skin and massage the surface of the feet with light movements.

Minimal costs are required to prepare the product, which consists of:

• 1 tbsp. l. cane sugar;
• 1 tbsp. l. olive oil.

This composition is used to massage the fingers, feet and calves for 10 minutes. The remaining substance can be stored in the refrigerator and used in the future. Sessions are carried out once every 1-2 months to keep the skin soft and well-groomed.

The final stage of the spa pedicure

At the final stage, a massage of the lower extremities is performed. It will take 5-10 minutes to massage each foot. The procedure helps to influence many energy points located in the human foot. These points are responsible for the functioning of different organs, so the session can improve not only the condition of the skin, but also your well-being.

After the procedure, the body is charged with energy, which has a beneficial effect on health. Baths with sea salt, plant extracts included in scrubs and masks, aromatic oils have a beneficial effect on the general condition.

When performing a massage, the work of internal organs is stimulated, it also helps eliminate back and joint pain and relieve chronic fatigue syndrome.

Massaging will help get rid of problems with sleep and swelling of the legs. After this, a nourishing cream is applied, which will make the skin smooth and velvety and prevent dryness and cracks.

Renewed skin needs to be looked after, so between the mask and massage you can do a paraffin wrap. The procedure is carried out not only in the salon, but also at home. Before this, you need to visit a doctor, because they refuse to use paraffin if you have:

• fresh scars;
• open wounds on the skin;
• peripheral vascular diseases;
• diabetes mellitus;
• varicose veins;
• hypertension;
• cardiovascular pathologies;
• allergic reactions;
• infectious diseases of the dermis;
• gynecological diseases;
• poor tolerance to high temperatures;
• pregnancy.

A large number of contraindications are explained by the fact that when exposed to the substance, the body heats up, which can negatively affect an unhealthy body. Before the procedure, a sensitivity test is performed by applying a small amount of paraffin to the skin. In addition to diseases included in the list of contraindications, wrapping should not be done during the period of exacerbation of any chronic diseases.

The session can be held at home. To do this, you will need to massage your feet, lubricate them with moisturizer and dip them several times in paraffin, heated in a water bath, in a microwave or oven to 55°C. After this, the legs are wrapped in cling film and socks are put on. When, after 20 minutes, the feet become wet and the substance begins to cool, remove the paraffin and put on cotton socks overnight.

In this case, you must follow the rules and do not keep paraffin on the skin for more than 20 minutes. It is removed starting from the ankle and moving towards the fingers. The procedure using hot paraffin is designed for regular use - at least once every 3 days. To enhance the effect, you need to wrap yourself up after wrapping and rest.

If you perform the procedure at home

You can conduct a spa pedicure session yourself, having prepared in advance all the necessary materials and cosmetics. It is recommended to use professional products to enhance the effect, but if these are not available, then substances that were prepared independently using folk recipes will do.

The bath can be replaced with any other container that is suitable in size. The events should be conducted by a loved one so that you can completely relax. This cosmetic and wellness procedure does not require a large amount of expenditure and, if the recommendations are followed, has a similar effect as a session in a salon.
