Men who want to enjoy some downtime and self-care visit spas. Indulging in pedicures smooths rough feet, relieves associated aches, and can even minimize stress. If you’ve never been to the spa for this service before, here’s an overview of what you can expect from an appointment. 

Why You Need a Pedicure

Feet and toenails don’t typically receive the attention they deserve. Most people only scrub them quickly in the shower, or trim their nails in a rush when it’s time.

A professional pedicure resolves any problems that could develop when these areas are neglected. Dry skin is common, especially in spots that are under constant friction, such as the big toes and heels. Calluses can develop when you walk a lot, or wear shoes that are overly tight. A little bit of extra attention will leave your skin soft and your toenails pristine.

What Happens During a Pedicure

The process begins with a luxurious foot soak in warm water. This softens the skin and nails, making it easier for the technician to remove dead skin. Next, it’s time to remove any debris lingering beneath the nails, then use a nail trimmer to cut them down to size. The professional may also use a nail file to shape the nails and smooth away any jagged edges.

With a foot file, they will vigorously slough away the dead skin on the heels and on big toes. If there are any calluses, they may use a softening solution to minimize the roughness as much as possible.

You can often choose a pedicure that includes a relaxing foot massage. With this service, the technician will use some type of soothing lotion to gently knead your feet and ankles. Depending on the type of pedicure you request, your legs can also be exfoliated for extra relaxation and softness.
