Pedicure trays: what are and how to choose?

The procedure of a classic pedicure involves steaming the legs before it starts. To do this, use foot baths, which allow to soften the coarsened skin of the legs, to facilitate the process of its removal and just help to relax.

Even the usual hand-made foot bath will bring a lot of useful results. She will prepare her legs for the procedure, relieve fatigue, swelling and give a feeling of freshness and lightness.

Making it pretty simple:

• type in the water tank the temperature you need;
• put her foot in it so that the water covers the area to the ankle;
• after the procedure, dry the feet with a towel.

At the end of all further manipulations, the legs will need to be smeared with cream.

In addition, in the bath add all sorts of components that perform different purposes. Chamomile and calendula are well suited for dry skin, oak bark eliminates unpleasant odor, and essential oils soften overheated areas.

The hydromassage bath is a rectangular, square or oval shaped container with a partition in the middle. The device operates from the mains. Procedures in the bath are performed in a sitting position, as not every product can withstand the load of the whole body.

The product is equipped with a pump, an aerator for air supply, nozzles at the bottom of the bath for water supply and a water heater (not available in all models).

Previously, it was the prerogative of beauty salons, but now everyone can have such a product at home if they wish.

Hydromassage baths exhibit the following properties:

• relieve tired legs;
• eliminate swelling;
• soften the skin, preparing it for pedicure procedures;
• allow to do a pedicure thanks to nozzles;
• cleanse the skin;

• improve blood circulation;
• have a healing effect.

Depending on the type, there are several models of hot tubs.

1. Toning. Relieves muscle spasm, helps to relax and prevent seizures. For this purpose, various auxiliary components are added to the water: oils, herbs, and so on. When purchasing a particular model, ask what tools you can add to it. Some of them are able to clog the holes for draining water.
2. Contrast. The alternate cold and warm water supply stimulates blood circulation, tones and strengthens muscle tone.
3. Cleansing. Additional components allow you to clean the skin of the foot from dust, dirt and desquamated epithelium.

2. Acrylic - characterized by an average cost, keep warm well and have an elegant appearance.
3. Ceramics - strength, reliability and durability.Ceramic bowls can be treated with chemical compositions for disinfection, which is important for their use in salons. They retain heat for a long time, but such models are rather massive and heavy products.

The size of the product also matters. Some models are equipped with a bowl so small in volume that not every foot will enter it.

The next point is the presence of a supply for filling the bath with water, as well as a drain for its removal. These important features for the convenience of speed of the procedure, as well as for high-quality cleaning capacity should be paid attention.

The bath can be stationary and have rubber lining on the bottom to reduce its slipping on a smooth surface. Or on wheels, which is very convenient for use in salons. It moves easily even in the filled state.
