Pedicure improves the appearance of the feet and their nails. The word ‘pedicure’ is derived from the Latin words ‘pes’, which means ‘foot’, and ‘cura’, which means ‘care’. Pedicure helps in taking care of the feet and the toe nails. It is helpful because it prevents nail diseases and nail disorders.
Pedicure is not just limited to nails; the dead skin of feet is rubbed off with the help of a rough stone called ‘pumice stone’. Pumice stone is a light glass formed on the surface of some lavas. It is used as a scrub.
