Baths for pedicure: what are and how to choose?

The classic pedicure procedure involves steaming the legs before it begins. To do this, use foot baths that can soften the roughened skin of the legs, facilitate the process of its removal and just help to relax.

Even a regular, do-it-yourself, foot bath will bring a lot of useful results. She will prepare her legs for the procedure, relieve fatigue, swelling and give a feeling of freshness and lightness.

Making it pretty simple:

• dial in the water tank the temperature you need;
• put feet in it so that the water covers the area to the ankles;
• dry the legs with a towel after the procedure.

At the end of all further manipulations, the legs will need to be lubricated with cream.

In addition, various components that perform different purposes are added to the bath. Chamomile and calendula are well suited for dry skin, oak bark eliminates unpleasant odors, essential oils soften rough areas.

A bathtub with a hydromassage is a rectangular, square or oval-shaped container with a partition in the middle. The device operates on mains power. Procedures in the bath are performed in a sitting position, since not every product can withstand the load of the whole body.

The product is equipped with a pump, an aerator for air supply, nozzles at the bottom of the bath for water supply and a water heater (not available on all models).

Previously, it was the prerogative of beauty salons, but now everyone, if desired, can have such a product at home.

Hydromassage baths exhibit such properties:

• relieve leg fatigue;
• eliminate swelling;
• soften the skin, preparing it for pedicure procedures;
• allow you to do pedicures thanks to nozzles;
• cleanse the skin;
• carry out massage of several types;
• relieve pain;
• affect the reflexogenic zones of the feet;
• improve blood circulation;
• have a therapeutic effect.

Depending on the type, several models of hot tubs are distinguished.

1. Tonic. Relieves muscle spasm, helps to relax and prevent seizures. For this, various auxiliary components are added to the water: oils, herbs, and so on. When purchasing a particular model, ask what means you can add to it. Some of them can clog holes for draining water.
2. Contrast Alternating supply of cold and warm water stimulates blood circulation, tones and strengthens muscle tone.
3. Cleansing. Additional components allow you to clean the surface of the skin of the feet from dust, dirt and desquamated epithelium.

First of all, you need to pay attention to the material from which the device is made.

2. Acrylic - The average cost is characteristic, they keep heat well and have an elegant look.
3. Ceramics - strength, reliability and durability. Ceramic bowls can be treated with chemicals to disinfect, which is important for use in salons. They retain heat for a long time, but such models are rather massive and heavy products.

Product size also matters. Some models are equipped with a bowl of such a small volume that not every leg will fit into it.

The next point is the presence of a supply for filling the bath with water, as well as a drain for its removal. These important features for the convenience of speed of the procedure, as well as for high-quality cleaning of the container should be paid attention to.

The bath can be stationary and have rubber linings at the bottom to reduce its sliding on a smooth surface. Or on wheels, which is very convenient for use in salons. She easily moves even in a filled state.
