There’s a common myth that a pedicure should be done right before vacation ✈️
But podiatrists and scientific research suggest otherwise.
Callused skin is not “extra” skin — it’s the foot’s natural protection. It helps reduce friction and protects the skin from pressure and нагрузка.
When an aggressive pedicure removes too much of this protective layer right before a trip, the skin becomes more sensitive. Then come beaches, heat, walking barefoot, pools, and new shoes…
And instead of comfort, you may get:
• blisters
• cracks
• burning sensation
• increased sensitivity
• higher risk of fungal and bacterial infections
Studies in podiatry confirm that excessive removal of hyperkeratosis can damage the skin barrier and lead to micro-injuries.
That’s why professionals often recommend getting a pedicure 5–7 days before vacation 🌿
This gives the skin time to recover and adapt to increased activity.
Beautiful feet are not about removing everything — they’re about healthy balance and proper care 🤍
