Here's how to do it: 1. Start by preparing a bath of feet with warm water. Fill a pool with warm water and add half a cup of white vinegar. Soak your feet for 20 minutes.
2. After soaking, gently rub the nails of the feet and surrounding areas with a soft-bold nail brush to remove debris and soften the nails.
3. 3. Rinse your feet with clean water, then apply a thick dough based on sodium bicarbonate and a few drops of water on your feet nails. Leave to stand for 10 minutes.
4. Rinse the sodium bicarbonate paste and dry your feet by tapping.
5. Use a pumice or nail file to carefully file the thick nails of the feet, avoiding too much.
6. Finish by applying a lotion or moisturizing oil to keep the nails and the surrounding skin hydrated.
How does this trick work: the science behind all this
The components of this trick act synergistically to reduce the appearance of thick nails. Soaking with white vinegar helps to soften the nails and has antimicrobial properties that can fight mild fungal infections. Sodium bicarbonate acts as a mild exfoliant and has an alkaline nature that can help soften thicken nails. The image of the nails subsequently makes it possible to gradually reduce their thickness without causing damage.
