Listening to the feedback from their customers, most of the spa pedicure salons use a combined method of treating the skin of the feet. It includes both manual processing of the skin of the legs, and with the use of a special machine. Hardware pedicure is aimed at processing individual parts of the foot using various frazers, and manual pedicure, in turn, is aimed at removing the cuticle around the nail.
There are many nuances in the combined type of pedicure. To tidy up the cuticle of the nail, you must first hold your feet in warm water, however, the skin of the feet is treated only on dry feet.
Now in many salons, in order not to steam the skin of the legs, they combine hardware and European pedicure.

Stages of the SPA pedicure
The technology for performing this procedure is individual for each master, but there are four mandatory stages from which it consists. Further it will be possible to get acquainted step by step with the methodology for carrying out each of them.
Stage 1 is the steaming of the skin of the feet. The feet are lowered into a bath of water, to which a disinfectant has previously been added. The average water temperature should be 37-40 degrees, depending on the client's request.
Strongly hot water injures and irritates the skin, while cold water will not steam it out.
The duration of the steaming process lasts up to 12 minutes. Long stay in water will make the skin too soft, flabby. Also, various cosmetics are added to the water, which have a beneficial effect on the skin of the legs.

Stage 2 - peeling. At this stage, the skin of the feet is treated with different types of scrubs, which help to remove the upper dead skin cells and also soften it before applying the fruit acid. It is the acid that breaks down the keratinized skin, which is easily removed with special scrapers. After that, the feet become deliciously soft and silky, as all the calluses and cracks disappear. At the end, the feet are rinsed in clean water to move on to the next step.

The composition of such masks can be varied: natural plant extracts - chamomile, aloe, papaya, various oils and clays, seaweed and much more.
