Summer is here and the sandals and flip flops have come out to play! Although us ladies love to have our toe nails painted at this time of year, there’s more to pedicures than just pretty feet. So if you’re thinking of booking a pedicure in Basingstoke check out our below health benefits and make sure your feet get the full service.
Here at Beauty Spot Basingstoke we like to encourage our male clients to treat their feet as well, as there are many health benefits to regular pedicures.
The average person does 8,000 – 10,000 steps per day, which is around 30 miles per week – more than a marathon! Therefore it’s really importance to look after your feet. On a more serious note foot problems can be a serious concern for anyone with diabetes.
Here are our top 5 reasons as to why pedicures are good for the sole and the soul!
1) Exfoliation
The removal of dead skin cells helps to prevent bunions, corns and calluses, encouraging fresh new cell growth.
2) Hydration
Using a foot bath to soak your feet in warm water with special oils helps to cleanse your feet and hydrate your skin. Applying foot lotions to moisturise your feet helps to prevent cracked heels, blisters and nails from splitting.
3) Infections
Removal of bacteria and dirt from your feet will help to prevent fungal nail diseases and keep your feet from ponging! Keeping toe nails trimmed helps to prevent ingrown toe nails which can also cause infections.
4) Circulation
Massaging your feet helps to stimulate blood circulation which is extremely beneficial, especially for anyone with diabetes, and can significantly help to relieve tension in your feet and calves and reduce foot pain.
5) De-stress
A good foot massage is very therapeutic and can be very relaxing easing stress, anxiety, tension and stiffness, improving your mood and helping to promote a good night’s sleep.
