Q&A for How to Perform a Professional Salon Pedicure

I use Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream. It works for me and that's what counts! It's also a very popular brand in general.

I personally use light/medium pressure when scrubbing off my callouses and it works well on my rough feet. Keep in mind that if you use too much pressure you could file off too much skin and that can result in bleeding and sensitive feet.

Use about one tablespoon per foot.

A cuticle cleaner is a substance that cleans your cuticle to make it easier to push back your cuticles.

You can use a scrub, or make your own using brown sugar and coconut oil. It is more effective.

You can use dish soap or bathroom cleaners.

Use a steam sterilizer, barbicide or hospital grade bactericidal/virucidal/fungicidal liquid that is mixed with water.

While buffing a nail will help you to remove some of the top layers with ridges or indentations, I don't recommend trying to thin your nails beyond that.

Removing dead skin will make your feet smooth. Regularly use a lotion or foot cream to moisturize your feet, especially the heels.

Soak your feet for at least 5 minutes and less than 30 minutes.
