Foot Care Or Pedicure
A Footcare or Pedicure is a beauty treatment for your feet. A pedicurist removes dead skin, softens hard skin and shapes and treats toe-nails, and also massages softening and soothing oils and creams into your foot to make it feel as though you are walking on air.
Good footcare treats and prevents skin problems such as callouses, as well as in-growing toe nails and related infections. A pedicure can help your posture by enabling you to walk more comfortably. Combined with massage, hot stones, a herbal or aromatic rub or a soak in scented oils, a pedicure can also soothe and relax you generally.
Different kinds of pedicure:
There are lots of different foot treatments available now in spas and in specialist centres on the high street. Usually, the difference between them is just the type of products used and the sequence they're used in. They may also have a different way of cutting or "dressing" the nails. You can usually tell what you're going to get from a spa's description of the treatment.
These are some examples of the different kinds of pedicures you can get:
French: this classic pedicure includes expensive, long-lasting nail varnish for the cosmopolitan lady, whitens the tip and squares off the nail.
Intensive paraffin wax: this pedicure includes warm wax being rubbed into your nails, feet and lower legs to moisturise and soften.
Deluxe/luxury pedicure: this whole-foot treatment includes a foot massage, softening paraffin wax and heated towels or a wrap which warms and soothes your feet, and softens and hydrates your nails.
Gel pedicure: this is a treatment that uses clear or coloured gel, which is bonded to your nails for a long-lasting glossy finish.
For those who simply want to relax, the use of massage oils, creams and lotions coupled with some basic reflexology techniques can help with overall relaxation. As part of our everyday routine, foot care can help reduce stress, which can help reduce the likelihood of other medical illnesses developing. Our feet are subjected to many years of hard work and enable to carry out even the most basic of everyday tasks and movements. We should look after our feet to the best of our ability so they can continue to serve us well for many years to come.
Daily Foot Care:- The feet should be cleaned daily to reduce the development of odor and the risk of disease. The feet are a very important and undervalued part of the body and it is important to keep them healthy. People who ignore their feet often develop all kinds of problems requiring years of treatment and thousands of dollars of medical bills.
- Each day when you bathe, make sure that you wash carefully between the toes with an antibacterial soap such as Dial or Lever 2000 to remove the bacteria and fungus that tends to thrive there.
Dry the feet carefully with a towel. This will help prevent athlete's foot.
- If wearing socks, use a cotton or wool blend. These natural fibers will allow your feet to breath. You should change your shoes everyday. Alternate 2-3 pairs of shoes, so the shoes will dry out completely before you use them again. Avoid high heels that tend to jam the toes into a small triangle, this will help prevent corns and calluses. Your shoes should be made of leather because it allows the feet to breath.
Foot Care Tips:- Once a week you can soak your feet in warm, soapy water containing a small amount of bleach (100 parts water mixed with 1 part bleach) so your feet will be clean and smell fresh. Using too much bleach will cause the cuticles to dry out and they will become sore and cracked.
- Once a week push the cuticles back with an orangewood stick (available at your local drugstore). The cuticle is the skin that grows from the toe onto the base of the nail (nail root). If the cuticles grow over the nail they look sloppy and can cause hang nails (pieces of dead skin at the nail root or the side of a nail). While pushing the cuticle back, be careful not to push too far. If you push the cuticle too far it will become painful. Only push it back to the skin of the toe. Next clean under the free edge of the nail tip with the orangewood stick. A good time to push back your cuticles is after you have taken a shower or bath. This is because the warm water softens the cuticle.
- There is never any need to use a nail strengthener on the toes because toenails are much stronger than fingernails. Using a nail strengthener on the toenails may make the nails difficult to cut.
If you like, apply color polish to your toenails. In the summer when women wear sandals or open toe shoes, it is a nice effect when the toes are polished. People enjoy the color, style and improved appearance of polished nails.
- Sometimes nail polish, dirt and bacteria can stain the nails. This can be removed by using a Q-tip or an orangewood stick with a cotton tip. Soak the cotton in 10 parts water mixed with 1 part bleach, then rub the nail where the stain is. This will remove most stains from the nails.
- A vitamin called biotin makes nails stronger in animals. Some studies suggest that it may help strengthen human nails. Biotin is available at health food stores.
- Make sure you cut your nails straight across, otherwise ingrown toe nails can develop. If you develop an ingrown nail you need to see a podiatrist or dermatologist as soon as possible. Putting off a visit to a specialist will only allow the problem to become worse.
