For fingernails, a smaller and more precise nail clipper is usually better. If you have thick or strong fingernails, look for a clipper with sharp and sturdy blades. For toenails, a larger clipper with more leverage is often needed as toenails are usually thicker. Consider the design and quality of the clipper to ensure a clean cut without splitting the nails.

 It depends on the quality of the tools and how frequently you use them. Generally, if you notice that the edges of nail clippers are getting dull or the files are losing their abrasive quality, it’s time to replace them. For professional use, replacement might be needed more often, perhaps every few months, while for personal use at home, they could last 6 – 12 months or even longer with proper care.

Store your manicure and pedicure tools in a dry and clean place, preferably in a storage case to protect the blades from damage. Face beauty tools like brushes should be stored with the bristles up or in a container that keeps them clean. Keep accessories like headbands and combs in a drawer or organizer to prevent them from getting dirty or damaged.

Many of our pedicure tools are designed with user comfort in mind. However, if you have sensitive feet, we recommend starting with gentle use of the tools. For example, use a foot file with a finer grit first. If you experience any discomfort, discontinue use and consult a podiatrist. Some of our callus removers and pumice stones also have special features to be less irritating.

Cut your toenails straight across and not too short. Wear shoes that fit properly, with enough room in the toe area. Avoid shoes that are too tight or narrow. Also, keep your feet clean and dry to prevent fungal infections that can contribute to ingrown toenails.

Soak your feet in warm water for a few minutes to soften the skin first. Then, gently move the foot file back and forth over the rough areas of the feet, such as the heels and balls of the feet. Don’t apply too much pressure to avoid hurting your skin. Rinse your feet after use.

Makeup brushes can be cleaned with mild brush cleaner or gentle shampoo. Rinse them thoroughly and reshape the bristles while wet, then let them air – dry. Makeup sponges can usually be washed with warm water and a small amount of mild detergent, squeezed gently, and left to dry. Tools like eyelash curlers and eyebrow razors can be wiped clean with a soft, dry cloth.

Makeup sponges should be replaced regularly. If you use it daily, it’s advisable to replace it every 1 – 2 months. Over time, they can accumulate bacteria and lose their elasticity, which can affect makeup application.

While some multi – purpose make – up brushes can be used for both liquid and powder products, it’s best to have separate brushes for each type if possible. Liquid products can be absorbed into the bristles and may affect the performance of the brush when used with powder products later. However, if you do use a brush for both, make sure to clean it thoroughly between uses.

For a natural look, use smaller and softer brushes for foundation and blush. For more dramatic looks like smoky eyes, you’ll need brushes with different shapes and sizes for applying and blending eyeshadows. Angled brushes are good for contouring, and flat brushes work well for applying liquid products like eyeliner.

Start by determining your natural eyebrow shape. Use a brow pencil or powder to fill in sparse areas. Use tweezers to remove stray hairs below and between the brows. For shaping, you can use an eyebrow razor for more precise control. Follow the natural arch of your eyebrow.

You can use a clean eyelash comb to comb your lashes daily, which can help separate them and make them look fuller. Applying a small amount of natural oils like castor oil to your lashes at night can also promote lash growth over time.

It’s a good idea to wash your hairbrush at least once a month. Remove the hair from the brush first. Then, soak the brush in a mixture of warm water and a small amount of mild shampoo. Gently swirl it around, rinse thoroughly, and let it air – dry.
