The removal of dead skin cells during a pedicure typically occurs after the initial soak and nail trimming/shaping. This process usually involves the application of a scrub or chemical peel to the feet and lower legs. It is done to soften and loosen the dead skin layers, making them easier to remove. The goal is to reveal smoother, healthier skin underneath.
This procedure offers several benefits, including improved skin texture, enhanced product absorption (such as moisturizers), and a generally more aesthetically pleasing appearance. Historically, methods of skin smoothing have been practiced across cultures, with modern pedicures building upon these traditions using advanced techniques and formulations.
