An attractive face is not enough to give you an impressive appearance. Your hands and feet are a vital part of your body, which if not well-maintained, can spoil your entire looks.

Although we all love to have fine-looking hands and feet, we often miss visiting the beautician for the regular manicure and pedicure. Many a time we don’t find time or we don’t feel like spending money for the exercise. If you have been avoiding a manicure and pedicure by a professional for the past months for any reason, then do it yourself and feel delighted.

Doing the task at home is time-saving and inexpensive and can be done in your leisure time. To begin with, you must remove the nail colour from your fingernails with cotton soaked in a nail polish remover. You will also need to have the correct tools, and having something like the Zwilling 97103-003 Twinox Manicure set can be a great advantage. Then make a mixture of a mild shampoo, salt and warm water to soak your hands and feet. After soaking them for five minutes, remove the hard cuticles that form a part of your fingernails. Use a cuticle removing tool to push them back.

Now, take a nail clipper to trim your toenails to give them a neat look. For giving a desired shape (rounded or rectangular) to your nails, you can file them with an emery board.

Once, you have shaped the nails; take an apricot or a sugar scrub to exfoliate your hands, arms, feet and legs. Lastly, apply a creamy moisturizer or a hand/foot cream to soften the skin.

Now, pick your favorite nail colour and paint your fingernails to complete your manicure and pedicure at home.
