How long your feet stay smooth is entirely up to you.

Following certain recommendations after the procedure will prolong your results. Here are my top 6 recommendations after a pedicure:

1. Don’t walk around barefoot at home.
Our skin serves a protective function. The more pressure it experiences from hard floors, the more it builds up to protect itself. Buy comfortable slippers or socks — today stores offer many good options.

2. Don’t trim your nails, especially if you have a base coat.
This can cause chipping and increase the risk of breaking the nail too deeply. As the nail grows out, file it with a soft file ONLY along the straight free edge. Those who trim toenails round risk ingrown nails at the corners.

3. Don’t use pumice stones or foot files at home.
They damage the surface of your skin and make it difficult to properly treat your feet professionally. This often worsens your skin condition.

4. Choose treatments recommended by your pedicurist.
Select products tailored to your skin type and use them to maintain hygiene between pedicures.

5. Wear comfortable shoes that fit properly.
This helps prevent many foot problems throughout your life.

6. Visit your pedicurist regularly.
Regular maintenance is essential to preserve the health and beauty of your feet.
