Every one deserves to have clean, and well taken care of feet. The name pedicure comes from the Latin words pedis, which means "of the foot" and cura which means "care." A pedicure is a great way to relax, and be pampered. It is also a great way to keep your feet looking great, and feeling even better. Pedicures helps prevent many diseases and disorders of the nail, and can help to aid in healing other parts of your body. Here are some of the ways pedicures help your body and why they should be done every month.
Removing Dirt & Bacteria
Soaking your feet in a bath of warm water, and a combination of signature ingredients will help to remove any dirt,and sweat while loosening dead skin cells. It will also help to eliminate foot odors caused by being trapped in damp, warm socks or shoes. The warm water helps to increase blood flow, which will improve circulation to the feet and legs. By improving the circulation, you can help reduce any swelling you may have from walking on your feet all day. This is also the time that your feet will be examined by the professional, to see if there are any nail fungus or injuries that need to be addressed. Be sure to go to a licensed professional, and check out the foot baths. Whirl pool baths, can build up with bacteria and transmit foot fungus, like athletes foot, from person to person. It is best to go to a salon or spa that uses disposable liners. They are always fresh and clean for every client.
Your nails become dry and brittle from cold weather and wearing shoes for hours at a time. Properly cutting and filing the nails will help prevent breaking, splitting, can prevent irregular nail growth, and infections. Taking proper care of your cuticles by pushing them back and trimming hang nails, helps prevent infections on the nail, around the nail, and underneath the nail. If you neglect getting regular pedicures, it can result in infections, injuries, along with brittle nails.
Exfoliating Your Feet
Every pedicure has an exfoliation process. The exfoliation of the the skin removes any excess skin build-up, which helps prevent calluses. The exfoliation will also help to smooth calluses, which allows your body to create new skin growth. Getting your feet exfoliated, helps to allow your weight be distributed more evenly across your feet. This helps reduce leg, foot and back pain that can be from standing or walking for long periods of time, as well as improve balance. It is recommended that athletes, especially runners, have a pedicure a week before a big game or race.
Getting a Foot Massage
The foot and leg massage is one of the best parts of the pedicure. It allows your body to fully relax, while it works out your feet, which is the hardest working area of your body, and can even help promote healing in other parts of your body. The massage will get your blood circulating, which helps you to feel relaxed, increase blood flow to the heart, reduce pain, and help keep your body warm in cold months. Regular pedicures also help increase your bodies overall circulation. The massage goes into muscles and joints to help loosen and relieve tension. The reflexology massage in a pedicure can help to relieve pain in other parts of your body, such as the hips, and back. Your feet will then feel relaxed, fresh and clean.
Monthly pedicures are recommended to keep your feet healthier, which help to create a healthier body, and improve your quality of life. Pedicures help to increase your energy, relieve stress, and can even help improve a persons self-esteem. Stop in and get a pedicure done this month.
"It is said that you can judge a person by how clean there feet are. Invest a little time and money to take care of your feet, after all they are one of the most important parts of your body."

7 Hot Nail Trends For The Spring & Summer
Nail trends are quick and easy ways to add a pop of color or make a statement to any outfit. The 7 biggest trends in nails are solid colors, tips, nail art, pastels, neutrals, glitter, and textured polishes. Here are the hottest nail trends, along with the hottest nail colors.
1. Solids. Solid colors work good for any occasion. If you have darker skin, do all white nails. For a color that goes great on all skin tones, try coral. To keep your look classic, use red nail polish. If you like to match your lipstick and your nail polish, fuchsia is the color to use. And for a metallic look, use silver but add an extra layer to make it extra shiny.
2. Tips. Nail tips don't just have to be the classic french white, you can do colored tips as well. Do a twist on a french manicure with one color underneath, and another color as the tips. You can also add glitter at the tips in place of polish. Try a reverse tip with the bottom of your nail in a different color then the rest of your nail. It will make a statement and have people noticing your awesome manicure.
3. Nail Art. Nail art can be done with stickers or free handed. You can do the ombre nails just by using different polish colors and a sponge. Use a fine tipped polish to draw designs on your own nails, or buy the sticker decals to put on your nails. Any way you do the design, it will make your nails stand out from all the rest.
4. Pastels. Pastel colors are not only in for clothes, and hair, they are also in for nails as well. You can use a coral, baby blue, baby yellow, or even a lilac for your nails. You can even match them with your out fit for the day. Try also to combine two colors together and do half the nail one color, and half the nail another color to mix it up a bit.
5. Neutrals. Neutral nails can go with any thing you wear and for any occasion. The key to the neutral nail trend is to use a polish that matches your skin tone, and not just use a clear or a neutral color. The best results are if you go a little bit darker then your skin tone, to get the full effect. Make sure you have a nicely done manicure before painting your nails.
6. Glitter. Glitter nail polish is just about always in style. The biggest glitter nail polish colors that are in right now are light pinks or peaches, emerald greens, and darker blues. To really make the glitter come out, use a color that matches the glitter as a first layer (after your base coat) and put the glitter polish on top. It really adds an extra pop to your polish.
7. Textured. Textured nail polish is one of the newest and biggest nail trends of the year. The textured polish look gives an edge to the normal manicure. You can try the sand polish, foil finish polish, or even the latex like polish. They all give a different texture then the normal polish that you can not only see but feel as well.
These are the 7 hot nail trends for spring and summer. All of these trends can be done at home or in the salon. If your nails are in bad shape, then you can even get all of these trends (except the textured one) done in shellac, which will help make your nails grow healthier and stronger. It also doesn't chip. Try out these nail trends to add a new twist or pop of color to your style.
