History of pedicure
If you rely on historical information, pedicure arose quite a long time ago. The need for foot care arose for a reason. In fact, in ancient times it was possible to determine a person’s status in society by the appearance of their feet. Influential nobles painted their heels with flashy colors; the color palette was determined by the amount of money people had.
In ancient Egypt, nobles had their feet kissed every time they wore open shoes. It has long been noted that acupressure of the feet has an impact on health. For example, Cleopatra had her feet massaged every day using different essential oils.
In the Middle Ages, foot care was unacceptable and even prohibited; this trend resumed only in the Renaissance. At the same time, beautiful pedicures came into fashion, and various pedicure ideas with rhinestones, stones and sparkles appeared.
