What is the purpose of using foot masks in pedicures?

To soften the skin
To exfoliate dead skin
To remove polish
To whiten nails

The correct answer is: To soften the skin

Using foot masks in pedicures primarily serves to soften the skin. The masks are formulated with moisturizing and conditioning ingredients that penetrate the skin, providing intense hydration. This softening effect is crucial for preparing the skin for further treatments, such as exfoliation or callus removal, and for ensuring a smoother texture and overall improved appearance. While other processes in a pedicure may include exfoliation, the main focus of the mask is to hydrate and soften, making it easier to manage rough or dry areas. Understanding the specific function of foot masks helps in recognizing their role as a foundational step in enhancing the effectiveness of the entire pedicure process, promoting healthier and more supple feet.
