At Nail Salon Malvern in Ardmore, we understand that getting a pedicure done is just one half of the job, the other half involves looking after the feet and that’s what we ensure, along with providing the best level of service during the treatment.



How can you make sure that your feet remain perfectly taken care of for longer, just how do you prolong the time of the next appointment? Here are some tips for you to consider from Nail Salon Malvern.

1. Always Keep Your Feet Hydrated

Post pedicure, one is left with the sense of smoothness and softness and that’s done through exfoliation and moisturizing. So now if you want this feeling to stick with you post the pedicure waiting for the next appointment isn’t going to be a viable option, there’s something you can do. Hydration is key, something every exfoliation lacks so always keep your feet hydrated.

• Use a Rich Foot Cream: If you don’t want to apply a foot cream, don’t, however, if you do, and you have one that’s rich in nutrients, get a pedicure, that’s how you make the best of both worlds. Look for foot creams or lotion containing aloe vera, cocoa butter or shea butter. All three retain moisture and make the feet feel soft and nice.

• Nutritive Sleep: To increase the moisture levels of the skin, consider giving a good foot massage with cream and then wearing socks before going to sleep. Try this on particularly for the winter months as the skin tends to get dry a lot faster and this makes sleeping easier.

• Stay Away From Intense Climate: Avoid exposing your feet into scorching surroundings, to hot air vents or harsh cold which leads to cracks in the skin.

2. Avoid Soaking Your Feet Right After A Pedicure

Resisting the urge to indulge your freshly manicured toes into your favorite bathtub or any bucket of water is tough, instead try to avoid such situations immediately after a pedicure. Prefer to keep them out of contact with water for four to six hours and during such time frame it is best this nail polish is fully dry or shimmer so the chances of it smudging is low.

• Washing With Care: If you need to wash, do not soak your feet with water for a long period of time. Simply, rinse your feet, do not be tempted to use hot boiling water as it softens the texture of the polish.

• Wait To Swim: After a pedicure, it is best to keep your feet dry for a little while so that the saltwater doesn’t harm the pedicured polish.

3. Take Care of Your Feet

This applies to spa pedicure- those that have been treated with a foot mask, been exfoliated or had paraffin wax applied. Be careful how you wiggle your feet to avoid scraping the toes or nails.



• Soft Breathing Footwear Preferred: It is advisable to wear soft and breathable sandals or flip to avoid touching the polish for around two hours after the pedicure. Do not wear a shoe which is too tight or one that rubs the skin which may cause irritation or a bruise on the nail.

• Do Not Use Heels: Heels exert pressure to the toenails and the toes which highly increase the chances of chipping the nail polish or irritating the skin. Avoid wearing heels for a day as this might keep the toes and feet in appropriate condition.

4. Care for your nails

Such procedure helps facility on the number of visits and the duration until the next spa appointment for a pedicure. Most importantly the toes will always be in a great condition.

• Trim The Toes Regularly: Give yourself a couple of weeks after the pedicure, then proceed to cut your toenails. Be careful not to cut very deep as to cause pain.

• File Rough Edges: In order to avoid snagging, gently file any rough edges. This also helps in tearing the nails as soft filing aids in keeping it smooth.

• Touch up the Polish: You can also just use a top coat to touch up the polish so as not to let the entire coat go dull and chipped. In addition, polish the pedi imperfections that should not take long to get done.

5. Refrain from Strenuous Jobs

After getting a pedicure, there are several chores that add strain to the nails or the skin around the toes, which is to be avoided till the nails are strong.

• Avoid Long Walks or Strenuous Exercising Sessions: There’s a need to pause from long walks and active exercise including the loss of pedicure signs like bleeding, chipping or smudging of the nails.

• Use Gloves While Cleaning: Harsh chemicals used in general cleaning products can be damaging and irritating to both the skin as well as the newly painted toenails, so remember to wear gloves when cleaning or washing so that the exfoliating toes remain protected.

6. Apply Sunscreen Over Your Feet

Most people are busy taking care of their upper bodies applying sunscreen while forgetting to protect their feet from harsh sun damage. Over exposure of the sun can dry out the skin and cause your toenails to turn yellow. Because of this, it is advisable to always protect the skin on your feet by applying sunscreen on them if you are planning to go outside in the sun for a longer time.

• SPF Protection: Try selecting an SPF enriched sunscreen and apply it over the tops and sides of your feet and toes focusing on using it generously.

• Use a Moisturizing Sunscreen: Ideal for providing protection from sunburns, a moisturizing sunscreen can provide a soft feel to your feet being enriched with beneficial properties.

7. Look After Corns and Calluses on a Routine Basis

Calluses and rough skin on one’s foot can be excellent breeding grounds for infections. To prevent this, regular treatment for the affected area is extremely important alongside a pedicure.

• Use a foot scrub or pumice stone: For best results, it is recommended that you scrub your feet with a foot scrub or pumice stone once a week. This helps you in comfortably getting rid of calluses while also sufficing your skin needs.

• Treat Yourself to a Foot Mask – Relax With Delicacy: Also, a foot mask can be a great deal as last-minute foot treatment. After a pedicure, a foot mask can help in retention of moisture, and restore a blind foot.

8. Don’t Wait Until Its Too Late To Make an Appointment for Your Pedicure



So that your nails and the rest of your feet will always be looking good and healthy, it would be better to book a new appointment while the effects of the previous one whittle down. As a rule of thumb, Nail Salon Malvern recommends that clients visit every 3-4 weeks. This will allow for proper care and maintenance of your feet.
