Soak Before You Spa: Unlock the Secret to Perfect Pedicure Prep
The ideal soaking time for a pedicure is crucial to prepare the skin and achieve desired results. Soaking in warm water (95°F - 100°F) relieves pain, reduces inflammation, and softens skin, but excessive sweating can promote fungus growth. Shorter soaks (10-15 minutes) are suitable for sensitive skin, while medium-length soaks (25-30 minutes) provide deeper relaxation but require caution to avoid irritation. Adding Epsom salt or essential oils can enhance the experience, promoting muscle relaxation and combatting specific skin issues.
