How often should you get a pedicure?
Typically you should get a full pedicure every month or month-and-a-half, which is to say about four to six weeks. This is usually the amount of time during which dead skin takes to build up on your feet.
It’s also approximately how long it takes for your nails to grow out of the original layer of nail polish or for the polish to get chipped or tarnished. A pedicure also helps avoid ingrown nails.
What are the benefits of a regular pedicure from a professional?
While routine pedicure procedures certainly contribute to overall toenail hygiene and foot health, there are additional advantages as well.
- Stimulates blood circulation:Regular pedicures from a professional help in increasing blood flow, promoting healthy blood circulation. This is important in alleviating pain and muscle tension, enhancing joint mobility, and promoting skin regeneration.
- Relief from backache:Hardened skin and calluses on the soles of your feet are not only painful, but also cause an inequitable distribution of body weight on your feet, potentially leading to back pain. Thorough exfoliation and proper care help in this, thereby reducing back pain and improving posture.
- Promotes relaxation and boosts mental health:Busy schedules leave little time for self-care and relaxation. Pedicures offer the perfect opportunity to take time out for yourself, rejuvenate your body and mind, and provide a confidence boost with well-groomed feet.
