Show number. Dauphine, Strasbourg, France. Pedicures can minimise the risk of fungal infection and improve your circulation. The exfoliation techniques used during a pedicure remove dead skin cells, and the massage element boosts circulation and reduces the risk of cracked heels and calluses.
Pedicures also leave your feet feeling softer and looking great, too. Fish pedicures carry the added risk of staph infections. Ask your therapist about the associated risks of the pedicure you want before you book. From chocolate pedicures to fish, the different types of pedicure available range from conventional to out-right whacky.
You should aim to get a pedicure every weeks. Because it takes this long for dead skin to start forming, and targeting it during the early stages can be beneficial. To help maintain optimal foot health, pedicurists recommend having a pedicure once every weeks. Most pedicures are based around the classic pedicure, so expect your feet to be bathed in a warm foot bath, then exfoliated using a pumice stone or foot file. Next, your toenails will be trimmed, your cuticles treated, and your feet and sometimes your calves massaged.
Moisturiser will be applied to leave your feet feeling soothed, smoothed, and nourished and your pedicure will either end there or you can choose to have your toenails painted. Traditionally, a pedicure begins by bathing your feet in warm water to soften the skin. An exfoliating foot rub is then used to slough off dead skin, before toenails are trimmed and shaped.
Some pedicurists will massage your feet and lower legs to aid relaxation before applying a moisturising cream, oil or wrap. The treatment ends with the application of nail polish — in your choice of colour — to your toenails. Dermatologists do not recommend the cutting of cuticles, as it can lead to infection, so ask your pedicurist to clean, but not cut, your cuticles.
