What not to do the first day after a pedicure: 3 rules to keep heels smooth

After going to the salon for a pedicure, the legs literally take on new life and the heels become smooth, like a baby’s. To prolong this softness and increase the time before a new intervention, it is advisable to take regular care of the skin with the help of a nourishing cream. And also pay special attention to protect the feet on the first or second day after the pedicure, when they heal after grinding.

If you have had a pedicure and are going to wear new sandals, we hurry to dissuade you from this idea as soon as possible! At a time when the skin on the legs is especially soft and tender, it is easier to get calluses and corns. It is better to wait a few days before wearing it – and be sure to stock up on patches, silicone pads and other auxiliary elements.

In general, masters do not advise putting on open shoes immediately after a pedicure – we have explained in more detail what this can entail in this material. It is best to protect treated feet by wearing clean socks and flat shoes or closed-toe sneakers. And considering that this summer many people combine socks with a variety of open shoes, this solution looks not only practical, but also very stylish.

To keep the skin of the feet soft and cared for, scrubs are essential. But in the first days after a pedicure, it is better to use products with soft, not large particles. Too powerful scrubs can injure the treated skin of the legs – especially if during the pedicure the master accidentally cut you or sawed off somewhere more skin than necessary.
