What is a pedicure?

A pedicure is a treatment for feet and toenails. Nails are trimmed and shaped, cuticles are gently pushed back, and rough patches of skin can be smoothed.

Our feet carry us through life – and they do so with an astonishingly complex structure: They consist of over 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 tendons, muscles, and ligaments. Regular care is therefore all the more important, ensuring a pleasant feeling and improving the appearance of your feet.

Why regular pedicures make sense

Well-groomed feet are a real plus, not just in the summer. They make you feel good all around – whether in everyday life, at the office, or while walking barefoot on vacation.

Pedicure at home: step-by-step instructions

With the right preparation, your pedicure can be relaxed and effective, even at home.

1. Preparation is everything

Create a calm atmosphere and have all the necessary equipment ready:

2. The foot bath – the ideal introduction

A warm foot bath optimally prepares the skin for the following care steps. It also brings relaxation and softens the skin.

3. Care for nails and cuticles

Dry your feet thoroughly, trim your nails straight, and file any rough edges smooth. Gently push back cuticles using products such as the Health Routine Nail Care Pen , which uses a handy applicator to apply nourishing oils directly to the nail edges.

4. Skin care and moisture

Use a rich foot cream to keep your skin supple. For nail care, we recommend the Nail Growth Serum from Health Routine – a balanced combination of biotin, keratin, and panthenol ensures healthy, strong nails and a well-groomed appearance.

5. Conclusion: Massage & varnishing

A gentle massage provides relaxation —ideal after a long day. If you like, you can finish with nail polish: a base coat, two coats of color, and a top coat provide a glossy finish.
