Feet Fetish!
A pedicure is beauty treatment that treats foot and toes. It helps in preventing various diseases such as Athlete’s Foot, fungus in foot, etc. The word pedicure is a Latin translation of foot care. Getting a good pedicure in chennai not only adds shine to your foot, but it also leaves your foot moisturized and leaves you with perfectly shaped toenails. You can polish them in your favorite colors to give it a fun twist.
Goodbye Old Nail Paint
A standard pedicure treatment starts by removing any old nail polish you might have applied to your foot. Many people forget about toenails and they are the most ignored when it comes to grooming. It might have been ages since you last applied nail polish to your toes. It’s not good to leave your nails for so long with old nail paint.
Cut Off Those Ingrowths
Which is why the first step is to remove old nail paint from the toes. After this, any ingrown toenails are cut, and this might be a teeny bit painful. Once your toenails are cleared off, they are filed depending on the shape you like. Although you can shape them anyway, sticking to the natural shape will be a better choice.
Hot Water Soak
The best part is when the beautician asks you to place your foot inside a tub of hot water. Usually, moisturizing oil or cream is applied before this step to prevent your feet from getting dry. The hot water soak relaxes your foot and you can stay that way for about ten minutes. You can always try this at home by taking a large tub and filling it with hot water. Add few drops of olive oil or warm milk so that your tired feet will turn baby soft.
Scrub And Moisturize
As you enjoy the soak, the beautician uses a scrub to remove dirt and dead skin that is present in your feet. It is a wonderful feeling and might tickle you to an extent. Then, they are treated with a liberal dose of moisturizer. Most of the times, feet are left dehydrated. Moisturized helps in balancing the moisture content. Cuticle cream is also applied and then your toenails are taken care of.
The steps we have discussed so far are the standard procedure followed for most of the pedicure sessions. However, the nature of treatment might vary depending on the beautician and the kind of care your foot require. Some might cover your foot with a mask and then proceed to scrub. There are no hard and fast rules for performing a pedicure.
