Centrum tip – A pain-free pedicure
Last updated: Wednesday, January 16, 2008
Treating yourself to a manicure or pedicure? It's a great way of boosting your appearance and self-confidence, and relaxing at the same time. Just make sure you don't get more than you bargained for: a nasty infection.

Take action:
Only go to licensed, trained professionals – ask for credentials if you're unsure; take your own tools, such as emery boards, to your salon (these can't be sterilised and could be dirty); don't be afraid to ask about the sanitation standards – make sure you're happy with how the salon is run; don't shave your legs before exposing them to circulating water in a pedicure spa – nicks from shaving can be infected by bacteria; don't ignore infections – consult a doctor if there is redness or soreness after a visit to a salon.
