A high-quality hardware or edged pedicure takes time, which is not always available. With the development of the nail industry, new, gentle ways of caring for the legs and nails, and their restoration, have appeared. It is to such innovative technologies that the Brazilian pedicure belongs.
Unlike mechanical methods, it does not require steaming, it is extremely simple to perform, and is done within 30-40 minutes. It is about this interesting technique that we will talk about today.
What is the difference between Brazilian pedicure and other methods
This technique was first used in Brazil, hence its name. To reduce the consumption of precious drinking water, a special emulsion was invented.
Thanks to the components it contains, it not only softens dead and keratinized skin, but also acts as a nourishing, healing and regenerating agent.
The emulsion contains the following substances:
- keratin, calcium;
- tea tree oil;
- vitamin E, beeswax;
- witch hazel, allantoin;
- urea, bleaching and leveling polymer.
Depending on the manufacturer and the claimed action, the composition may have an antibacterial, pronounced hypoallergenic, antifungal effect.
Due to the fact that professional tools and precision of movements are not needed for Brazilian pedicure, the technique is readily used at home, as well as beginner masters who are just getting their hands on.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a Brazilian pedicure
The Brazilian technique is rapidly gaining popularity due to significant advantages:
- a one-time set can be used not only in the salon, but also on the road, on vacation or at home;
- the procedure has a pronounced SPA effect, is very pleasant and does not cause any inconvenience;
- in the process, the master conducts a professional massage, dispersing the blood and relieving fatigue from the legs;
- with regular use, the effect is clearly pronounced – the risk of cracks, fungus and ingrown nails is reduced, the skin takes on a healthy appearance, becomes smooth and velvety;
- feet sweat less, and the nail plates do not exfoliate, they become stronger;

For the first time, mass paid pedicure services were offered by David Low, in 1780, in London. He removed calluses and corns, which caused discomfort and prevented normal movement.
