The Important Benefits of a Winter Pedicure Boise Treatment

With your feet constantly covered up during the cold winter months a pedicure is probably the last thing on your mind. When our toes aren’t on full display it’s common for us to feel as though our feet are no longer a concern. However, nothing could be further from the truth. That’s why unDONE Salon would like to provide you with the following reasons why it’s important to maintain routine pedicure Boise treatments.

#1 Relax & Relieve Stress

When people think of a pedicure, they tend to visualize pretty toes. While polished toes are a nice touch, a pedicure Boise treatment is much more than that. While we have adopted the standard idea that a pedicure is only needed during the summer, the truth is it’s better to maintain your pedicure Boise treatments during the winter months. Why? Simply put, a pedicure does many things for our health and peace of mind.  

When we take the time to relax and have our feet and lower legs worked on during a pedicure Boise treatment, we are unknowingly releasing feel-good endorphins that stimulate relaxation. This stress reducing treatment of receiving a pampering service helps us to let go of the stress that dominates our lives. Before our treatment even begins, we feel more relaxed and less stressed by the minute.

#2 Maintain Critical Hygiene Habits

During a pedicure Boise treatment, critical hygiene habits are taken care of for us. Not only are our nails clipped and polished, our dead skin is scrubbed away. These basic, yet often overlooked services are important when it comes to maintaining healthy legs and feet. When our toenails go untreated and grow too long, the nail presses against the inside of our shoes. This, in turn, can lead to ingrown toenails and bruised nail beds. When we have our nails and cuticles treated, we are allowing them to breathe and continue to grow healthy.

With that in mind, the removal and scrubbing away of dead skin helps activate the regenerative properties of our own bodies which helps our skin maintain its elasticity. It’s not uncommon for us to suffer from dry skin throughout the winter. Maintaining routine pedicure Boise treatments throughout the year will help keep dry skin at bay when it comes to our feet. While applying lotion may seem like a good solution when it comes to dry feet, the lotion cannot absorb when there is a barrier of dead skin between your feet and the lotion. This, in turn, can cause the feeling of itchiness because your skin is smothering. That’s why our brain tells us to scratch it away so our skin can breathe again.

#3 Boost Circulation & Ease Muscle Tension  

During your pedicure Boise treatment, you will receive a lower leg and foot massage. This not only helps you to feel good at the moment but provides you with a relieving massage that will last for days. Massage not only helps to reduce your stress levels, it increases your circulation while promoting elasticity, and easing muscle tension. All of these things are good for your whole body! When your lower legs and feet don’t hurt, you stand and sit straighter, thus improving your posture which will result in less back pain. When your feet don’t hurt you tend to walk lighter, promoting hip movements that can help to alleviate lower back problems.

Maintaining routine pedicure Boise treatments isn’t crazy talk, it’s healthy. When you think about pretty polished toes, think about your summer pedicure. When you think about moisturized, non-itchy skin, think about your winter pedicure. A good pedicure Boise treatment will last you approximately a month. That’s why it’s important to come into unDONE Salon every 4-6 weeks for a pedicure to maintain healthy nails, and feet. Ready to schedule your next pedicure?
