5 Reasons Why Every Man Should Get A Pedicure

Getting a pedicure is the most relaxing and effective way to maintain foot hygiene and keep it clean. Have you considered going for one? Never thought of it? Well, here are the reasons why every man should get a pedicure.

Most men believe that getting a pedicure is too girly or just not a manly thing to do.

If you’ve always felt that way, I have to tell you that paying attention to how you look and looking after your nail or any other type of grooming rituals isn’t going to dent your masculinity or make you less of a man.

You should change your perspective.

Going for a pedicure session at the spa is a MUST-DO routine for every man (as well as every woman).  It should be part of your grooming routine. 

I’m sure some of you (ladies and gentlemen) reading this right now would be thinking  “Why should a man get a pedicure?”

Or some would even make it a sexuality thing and say, “Isn’t that for a sissy?”

Well, it has nothing to do with gender, race or sexuality.

So, let’s explain what a pedicure is…

WHAT IS A PEDICURE?

Pedicures are therapeutic treatments for the feet that are done to remove dead skin, soften your feet, care for often ignored cuticles, treat and shape your toenails.

The average person should get it at least once a month. Depending on how quick your toenails grow, you can get a pedicure as often as you want.

While there are different ways to spoil yourself, like going to the club with your guys or buying that new expensive gadgets for your home, frequenting the local spa is also another less expensive way to pamper yourself.

I understand that some men feel conflicted about getting pedicures since beauty treatment has always been associated with women or homosexuals. Things have changed, getting pedicures or manicures is not always about beauty but about hygiene, caring for your hands and feet.

Every man should get a pedicure on a regular basis because of a lot of diseases – athlete’s foot, fungal infection, skin cancers, etc, manifest themselves in the feet and some can be life-threatening.

Still not convinced? Here are a few reasons to run to a spa near you next weekend and get that Pedi!

5 Reasons Why Every Man Should Get A Pedicure

#1. Relieves Stress

From personal experience, getting a pedicure or a manicure is a great way to relax your muscles and relieve stress. They are very therapeutic and gives you the feeling of being pampered. See it as a way to sit back, relax, and be happy without the stress of carrying the whole world on your shoulders. Make sure you stop by at the spa before the week runs out. It’s going to be a relaxing experience you’ve had this week. Thank me later!

#2. Improves Foot Health

Feet are breeding homes for bacteria, pedicures help get rid of dirt stuck under your foot and toenails. It also removes dead skins that can cause problems to your health. Pedicures also serve as anti-bacterial protection.

#3. Maintain Soft, Smooth and Clean Skin

Getting regular pedicures will maintain your skin and make it very smooth and fresh. Moisturizing your feet and hands regularly reduces the chances of getting blister, peel or crack. Exfoliating helps to remove dead skin, smoothen skin, and soften rough spots such as heels and nail beds.

 #4. Prevents Ingrown Toenails

Some men don’t cut their nails and keep it very long and dirty such that bacterias to live there. This is one of the bad grooming mistakes men make, and a big turnoff for women. 

While you can cut your nails yourself, it is, however, advisable to meet a professional pedicurist for a wholesome treatment. This is because you may cut your nails too short or leave tiny pieces at the edges which can lead to ingrown toenails. A professional will take better care of your nails and also cut to the correct length. Plus you will get a calf and foot massage to improve blood flow in your feet.

#5. Removes Foot Odor

Imagine removing your shoes in the office so your legs can breathe and receive fresh air, then the whole place starts to smell like dead fish. Hmmm, you don’t want to be that guy because nobody likes a stinky foot!

And don’t tell me you’d rather not remove your shoes to cover up the ‘dead fish smell’…Nah!

Your feet need extra care and protection, especially in the rainy season. You need exfoliation to remove the bacterial infection, which you can’t get rid of in normal washes and this can only be achieved through a pedicure.

Getting a pedicure once every blue moon would not chase away the bad odor from your feet, make it a monthly routine. 

Final Thoughts

It’s not such a bad idea to take an hour out of your “busy” routine for a manicure or pedicure. After all, this is relaxing and therapeutic for you. Plus it will also help you take your mind off whatever stress you are going through. Getting regular foot care can help prevent any foot-related diseases and keep your feet looking smooth and healthy. I hope you’re convinced, you can now book that spa appointment you’ve been itching to do.
