A pedicure is a beauty treatment for your feet. A pedicurist removes dead skin, softens hard skin and shapes and treats toe-nails, and also massages softening and soothing oils and creams into your foot to make it feel as though you are walking on air. Good foot care treats and prevents skin problems such as callouses, as well as in-growing toe nails and related infections. A pedicure can help your posture by enabling you to walk more comfortably. Combined with massage, a herbal or aromatic rub or a soak in scented oils, a pedicure can also soothe and relax you generally.
