Yes You Heard Right: The Health Benefits of Spa Pedicures!

Anyone who has been for a spa pedicure will tell you how fresh and beautiful their feet look after receiving some pampering on their feet.  In addition to having sandal ready gorgeous toes, there are many physical health benefits to having a spa pedicure.

Relieves Uneven Pressure

During a spa pedicure, the esthetician spends a significant amount of time buffing calluses and dead skin off of the bottom of the feet. Having calluses can cause an imbalance in how you distribute weight on your feet, leading to painful and tired feet after standing all day.

Dead Skin= Unhealthy Skin

When thick, dead skin forms on the bottom of your feet, it is impossible for your skin to breath.  Having your calluses removed will improve the overall state of you skin- after all, skin is an elimination organ and it’s important to have it functioning at an optimal level.

Massage for Improved Health

Most spa pedicures include a foot massage, usually with a focus on reflexology or acupressure.  When the points in the feet are stimulated, it produces healing effects in other areas of the body- particularly the organs.  Massage is relaxing and besides- who doesn’t love to have their feet massaged?!?!

Aromatherapy to Induce Calm

Another aspect of a spa pedicure is the smells. For example, in our pedicures and manicures we use smells like Orange, Chocolate, Vanilla, and Peppermint.  These oils have benefits such as being uplifting, immune stimulating, energizing, relaxing, hormone balancing, congestion relieving, detoxifying, and much more!  In our pedicures we use only the highest quality organic essential oils.

Protection against Funguses and Bacteria

The feet have the perfect conditions to harbor bacteria- warm, moist, and confined to socks and shoes.  During a pedicure, the cuticles and under the nails will be cleaned out- inhibiting the growth of microorganisms.

So there you have it, the benefits are numerous.  Next time you go for a pedicure, you’ll realize the benefits go far beyond pretty toes!  Click here to learn more about our spa pedicures
