As the seasons change and sandals are a more acceptable form of footwear in Eastern Idaho, it brings a season we like to refer to in the salon as “Pedi Season”. Everyone’s getting their friends together for a little pampering, or coming in and getting some much needed relaxing time. Most don’t realize pedicures are for more than just pretty toes and a relaxing service. They’re also great for maintaining the hygiene, health, and more of your feet! Sit back, relax, and let’s chat about all the benefits from getting regular pedicure services year round!
Promotes Hygiene and Prevents Infections
Our feet go through so much from day to day! They support us through so much walking and standing, and they’re usually trapped in shoes – especially in the winter – for hours. Because of this, there’s so much dirt, sweat and bacteria that can build up on our feet, which can cause infections. Coming in for regular pedicures can help promote the hygiene of your feet, minimize the risk of fungal infections, and keep your toes healthy!
Exfoliation brings Smooth Feet
You know the rough, dry patches and calluses on your feet? Guess what, many people have them! In fact, many people that have them come in for pedicures to help prevent them! Exfoliation and addressing calluses are all part of a great pedicure. You’ll leave with smoother looking – and feeling – feet by the end of your service. Working on your calluses regularly can also help prevent them from getting painful or leading to other foot problems.
Improves Blood Circulation
One of the most enjoyable parts of a good pedicure is the foot massage. Here at Tami’s Salon and Spa, our techs are trained by Licensed Massage Therapists on massage techniques that can help you relax, unwind, and will help improve blood circulation. Improved circulation offers many benefits, including reduced swelling, relief from tension, and promotes the overall health of your feet.
Prevents Ingrown Toenails
Let’s just be honest for a minute, sometimes it’s hard to reach your toes to ensure you’re trimming them properly! Regular pedicures make it easy to ensure your nails are cut and shaped properly, which reduces the risk of ingrown toenails! This also helps maintain healthy nail growth.
How Often is Recommended?
This can vary person to person, especially because of lifestyle factors including your activity level and preexisting foot conditions. We recommend coming in every 4-6 weeks to maintain optimal foot health, even in the winter.
For many of our clients, pedicures aren’t just a luxury, they’ve become a necessity for foot health. From the seniors who can’t bend over to trim their toes to the friends coming in for a girls day and everyone in between, pedicures are becoming an essential part of one’s self care routine! By prioritizing regular pedicures, you’re, in turn, receiving healthier feet and a happier you. Treat yourself today, you won’t regret it!
