Aftercare

To keep your feet soft, healthy, and looking their best after your Elim pedicure: 👟 Footwear Wear comfortable shoes and avoid tight footwear for the rest of the day to let your feet breathe. Avoid walking barefoot in public places (e.g. swimming pools, gyms) to reduce the risk of infection. 💧 Hydration Apply a good-quality heel balm or moisturiser daily to maintain hydration. Drink plenty of water — hydrated skin stays soft and healthy. 🛁 Bathing Avoid soaking feet in very hot water, saunas, or steam rooms for 24 hours as this can dehydrate the skin. ✨ Maintenance Use a gentle foot file once or twice a week to prevent hard skin from building up between appointments. Book regular pedicures every 4–6 weeks for the best long-term results. ⚠️ Avoid Don’t pick or peel any dry skin — let it shed naturally. Avoid applying harsh, non-recommended products to your feet, as they can irritate or undo the treatment results. ✨ Your feet should feel smoother, softer, and more refreshed straight away — with results that last even longer if you follow simple at-home care.

To keep your nails looking beautiful and lasting longer: 👐 Daily Care Apply cuticle oil (like Dadi’Oil) 1–2 times a day to keep nails and skin nourished. Use hand cream regularly to prevent dryness. 🚫 Protect Your Nails Avoid using your nails as tools (opening cans, scratching off labels etc.). Wear gloves when cleaning, washing dishes, or using chemicals to prevent lifting or damage. 💧 Be Gentle Don’t pick, peel or bite your gel polish or extensions — this can damage your natural nails. Always book a professional removal. If a nail lifts or breaks, avoid pulling it off — contact me for a safe fix. ⏰ Maintenance Book infills or reapplications every 2–3 weeks to keep nails looking fresh and strong. Regular maintenance prevents lifting, breaks, and overgrowth. ⚠️ Avoid Avoid prolonged soaking in hot water (baths, hot tubs) as this may weaken the gel. Be cautious with tanning oils, sun creams, or insect repellents — some ingredients can dull the shine of gels. ✨ With proper care, your gel polish, rubber base, or extensions will stay glossy, strong, and beautiful until your next appointment.

To help your tan develop evenly and last as long as possible: ⏳ Development Time Leave your tan on for the recommended time (usually 8 hours, or 1–4 hours for express tans depending on the depth you want). Avoid showering, swimming, or getting wet during this time. 👕 Clothing Wear loose, dark clothing after your appointment to avoid marks or rubbing. Avoid tight waistbands, bras, socks, or shoes straight after tanning. 🚿 First Shower When it’s time to rinse, shower with lukewarm water only — no soap, shower gel, or scrubbing. Pat your skin dry with a towel instead of rubbing. 💧 Hydration Apply moisturiser daily to keep your skin hydrated and help your tan fade evenly. Drink plenty of water — hydrated skin holds colour longer. ⚠️ Avoid Long hot baths, saunas, steam rooms, and swimming pools (chlorine can cause fading). Exfoliating or waxing until you’re ready for your next tan. Perfume, deodorant, or oils directly on the skin during development, as they can affect the finish. ⏰ Longevity A Sienna X tan typically lasts 5–7 days, fading naturally. Exfoliate gently before your next tan to ensure a smooth, even result. ✨ With the right care, your Sienna X glow will stay flawless, natural, and streak-free for days to come.
