You should get a pedicure often enough that it doesn't look like a badly done paint job on your toes. But how often is the question? Pedicures are special because they not only work to soften and shape nails but also remove dead skin from the bottom of your feet while moisturizing. The American Podiatric Medical Association recommends getting a pedicure every six to eight weeks-or every two to three months if you're lucky!-but some podiatrists recommend going even less often.

Now that you know how often to get your toes polished, you can think about what type of pedicure is most beneficial for your needs.
