Warm weather means sandals and bare feet at the pool or beach, so many people schedule pedicures to ensure their feet are looking their best. But pedicures do more than just make your feet look good.
Consider that the average person takes 8,000 to 10,000 steps every day (http://bit.ly/kmZiTb). All the weight from those thousands of steps is borne by the feet.
A pedicure provides relief. It includes a massage that releases tension, alleviates pain in the feet, and improves circulation. The exfoliation done during a pedicure removes the calluses that form around the heels and toes, which, if left untreated, can feel uncomfortable or even painful. Nail cleaning and trimming is important for removing dirt and bacteria.
There are aesthetic benefits too, of course. Exfoliated feet feel softer and look nicer in sandals. Neatly trimmed nails look better and, as we all know from experience, there are no nail polish mishaps when someone else paints your toes!
Lest you think that pedicures are just for women, think again. Many men enjoy them too, although most of them choose to skip the polish. And those who enjoy regular pedicures will tell you that they are not a luxury, but an essential element of looking and feeling great at any time of the year
