Ohio State Board Nail Technician Practice Exam

In a pedicure service, the purpose of soaking the feet is to?

1. Warm up the feet

2. Cleanse the feet

3. Moisturize the skin

4. Exfoliate dead skin

The correct answer is: Cleanse the feet

Soaking the feet during a pedicure service is primarily used to cleanse the feet before further treatment. Option A, warming up the feet, may be a secondary benefit but it is not the main purpose of soaking. Option C and D, moisturizing the skin and exfoliating dead skin, can be achieved through other steps in the pedicure service, but it is not the main purpose for soaking. Therefore, option B is the best answer as it directly relates to the main purpose of soaking the feet during a pedicure.
