How to Have a Safe Pedicure


Pedicure spa is a perfect place where you can unwind and relax. Generally, it's your feet that suffer the most because of your stressful and hectic lifestyle. This is because the muscles and the tissues of the legs are the ones who face the maximum stress.
Visiting a spa for a relaxing pedicure can do wonders for you and your feet, however, there are precautions you should be aware of to make sure your experience is a safe one. Conditions such as ingrown toenails, fungal nail and skin infections, bacterial infections, cuts, abrasions and possibly even more serious types of infections can occur with improper care. Check credentials.

Towels -To wipe the feet dry after the initial wash.

Cotton balls -For application of lotions

Cuticle pusher or Cuticle nipper- To nip or push the cuticles to provide a perfect finish

Lotion -To soothe and provide the pedicure effect
