Client X visits Aqua Ice Salon & Day Spa for the first time for a pedicure and brings her daughter along. When the pedicure begins, client X explains to me that her feet are constantly causing her discomfort. “The soles of my feet are sore, can you tell me what I can do to remedy them,” she asked. After taking a close look at her hard callused feet, I immediately realized the problem. “How do you routinely remove the dead skin off your feet,” I asked. She replied, “my pedicurist at Spa X would usually use a foot razor on me and my daughter.” I took a look at her 8 year old daughter’s feet to realize that she too had hard callus beneath her young feet.
The Problem- Calluses are commonly caused by constant rubbing of the skin. The skin forms a hardened layer over the area to protect itself from the rubbing irritation. Foot razors help to expedite this process because when shaving away the dead skin the razor literally cuts into your flesh and your feet try to protect against the cutting by hardening. This can cause soreness of the feet.
By the way, foot razors are banned in most states for sanitary reasons. Yet, some spas still use them and some people still oblige to this harmful service.
The Solution- Sometimes the harmful effects of foot razors can be irreversible, but you can tell your pedicurist to put down the razor and start using grainy exfoliating treatments that hydrate while removing dead skin. Salt scrubs or sugar scrubs are great grainy solutions to buff away dead skin. There are also tools without the harmful sharp scrapping feature, such as pumice stones that are safe to use.
