2. Cut and file your nails appropriately; remove in growth if any because it leads to ugly deformed nails. Remove the lose skin peeling off from the sides of your nails gently because if it gets pulled out in the process of cleaning it will hurt.
3. Then apply cuticle cream on your nails generous just like they do in your manicure and pedicure sessions at spas. You can also apply some on your feet and hands to exfoliation.
4. Now fill up the bowls with warm water and dissolve sea salts and soap solutions in it. The pebbles should be kept at the bottom of the bowls to comfort your feet and hands. Soak your feet or hands in the water for 10 minutes. The sea salts will exfoliate your skin.
5. Scrape off the cuticle cream with a fine scraper and clean your feet. The pumice stone in your home spa is for rubbing the back of your feet and removing dead skin cells.
6. Wash off the soap and lather with cold water to relax all your senses completely. Massage aromatic oils on to the freshly washed skin to soften it and keep it supple.
7. This entire exercise should take not more that 20 to 25 minutes. You can surely spare half hour for yourself and your nails.
