I found this treatment after browsing some websites, and bringing together all the best information on what would help me immediately.
Combine today's treatment with a long-term regimen as well, and you'll have happy, beautiful feet in no time!
Now on to the discussion.
You will need:
- One toenail clipper
- Several gradients of pedicure sanding paper/buffer
- Thyme Oil (optional but highly recommended) for maintenance
 |
| Includes sanding stick and 4 sided sander with different strengths. |
Step 1: Wash your feet with warm water and clean-rinsing (we don't want heavy moisturizers) soap.
Step 2: Trim your toenails. If there is dirt or grime in under the nail, get that out as well.
Step 3: If there is any dead skin along your nails (to the sides and elsewhere), you can get that out with the point end of your nail trimmer attachment (the part that folds out.) If the nail gets dusty at any point, use a moist paper towel to wipe away excess.
Step 4. Use the multi-sided nail sander across the top surface of your toenails (horizontally if looking straight down, across the direction your nail grows in.) Start out with the biggest grit (the bumpiest textures) to sand out the most noticeable marks and such. Then work your way down to the smoothest grit. Voila!
Step 5: Apply the thyme oil in order to preserve your work. This is your maintenance plan, to kill all the fungus. Get a cotton pad, put some drops of thyme oil on, then wipe down each toenail completely, including edges and niches. Use new pad for each foot.
And then you're done, all in five simple steps! Keep maintaining your feet, trimming nails regularly, and using that thyme oil.
How often would u buff your toe nails?
ReplyDeleteHi Yvanna -
ReplyDeleteBuff the nails until they look as good as you want them to (assuming the fungus is not so advanced as to have eaten away at the nail.) If you continue with the Thyme oil (find it at Whole Foods or any health retailer, just call and ask) applications both morning and night, you may not need to buff them any more at all.
After my first time buffing, I only needed to do it once more, and that was when I grew overconfident and stopped using the Thyme Oil as often as I needed.
