Are Salon Pedicures Really Safe?

Who doesn't love a pedicure!?!

Is there anything better than going to the salon to get pampered and leaving with soft, smooth, beautiful feet? But something to consider before you book your next pedicure is that there can be risks involved.

Understanding Your Own Foot Health Before a Pedicure

It's important to understand your foot health before using and following the pedicure routines. By choosing a healthy foot care routine and diet, your feet can naturally look beautiful and glow up. Following are the key considerations that you need to follow here:

Pre-existing Conditions

There are some conditions that you need to treat first before going out for the pedicures. This is because certain skin conditions might increase or worsen your foot conditions. These are such as skin infections or skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis. People with diabetes should also take care and make sure to consult their doctor first.

Sensitivities or allergies

You should avoid using this on sensitive skin. Make sure that you are aware of all the types of allergies that can arise due to this.

Foot Hygiene

Regular foot care and the right choice of footwear are also important to keep your feet healthier. Make sure that you are following the moisturization practices.

Pedicure Health Risks

Nail salons are often aggressive on those calloused feet. Not only is this treatment not ideal for foot care, but it can also lead to health risks including open wounds and exposure to dangerous bacteria.

Salons should be gentle on your calloused feet, avoiding that cheese-grater treatment, which removes protective barriers your feet need and can lead to infections.

In addition, salons should also be sanitizing instruments, cleansing the soaking bowl after each pedicure, and avoiding jet use, as germs can be harbored in jets.

But are they?

Pedicure Safety Tips

So how do you know if your nail salon is taking these protective measures and using these best foot care practices?

You could ask if these safety procedures are being followed or request that they are done before your pedicure. But still, it's hard to know for sure if the salon you choose is risk-free.

Are they using the most effective cleaning products? How often do they deep clean? What infections might the person before me have transferred to the soaking bowl?

What methods do they use to get my skin smooth and soft? Will they damage the important skin on my feet leading to long-term problems?
