More and more men are indulging in pedicures and with good reason. Pedicures can be very helpful with proper nail growth and enhancing overall foot health. Proper nail maintenance can reduce foot issues such as ingrown toenails when properly groomed on a regular basis.
So what does a mens pedicure consist of along with a chance for him to relax? Here are basic steps:
A foot soak.
Buffing of dead skin for callous removal.
Shaping of nails and cuticle push back.
Lotion applied to the foot and calf with massage.
Buffing of all toenails and if desired, clear nail polish may be applied.
It is recommended pedicures are completed on a monthly basis. Many spa menus are now offering male specific treatments with treatment rooms for privacy. Choose the spa location carefully ensuring cleanliness. Look for a location that offers a certified medical nail technician(MNT). MNT’s obtain additional training beyond a nail technician license and are specifically trained in aseptic techniques.
So if you have a guy in your life that has everything.....treat his feet with a men’s pedicure. He along with his feet will thank you for it!
Here's to his foot health!
