Why is Pedicure Important

A pedicure means giving proper care to your feet. It helps keep feet clean, soft, and pain-free — a quick way to feel better and walk easier.

Why pedicures matter

Getting a pedicure does more than make your feet look neat. Here are big benefits:

• Keeps‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ skin soft and smooth — forcibly gets rid of the dead skin and calluses that are formed especially if you are walking a lot or wearing closed shoes.
  
  
• Stops infections early — nails that are clean and cuticles that are properly trimmed lessen the chances of fungal growth or ingrown nails.
  
  
• Improves blood flow — a gentle foot massage works hand in hand with blood flow, thus it helps in alleviating the swelling as well as the tiredness of the feet due to long hours on your feet.
  
  
• Relieves stress & fatigue — a warm foot soak and massage are sure to calm you down and relax after a long day.
  
  
• Prevents heel cracks and pain — moisturizing and exfoliating are the two factors that help in prevention of cracked heels, a problem that goes commonly with hot weather or frequent ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌walking.

Here’s a quick tip: if you spend many hours walking or wearing shoes in humid climate, try pedicure once every 4–6 weeks. That often keeps skin healthy and nails neat in short, good maintenance for tired feet.
