Pedicures are popular throughout the year. Regardless of the cost of the pedicure or how tony a salon may be, they are not without their risks. There are a few simple things you can do to keep yourself safe at the salon. Cut down on germs by making sure the pedicurist cleans out the whirlpool with bleach between pedicures. A stainless steel tub is preferable to a plastic tub for hygienic reasons. Bring your own instruments, and never let anyone use razor blades on your feet. Have the pedicurist cut your toenails straight across to avoid ingrown toenails. One last thought is to opt for lighter polish colors like beige and light pink - - darker shades can stain your nails.
Tip: Moisturize your feet daily with foot cream. These have been designed to hydrate the drier, thicker skin of your feet and stop the heels from cracking. See my previous post from December 9, 2009 for more information about cracked heels.
