During a pedicure, this product is used to remove dead skin cells.

• A. Sloughing lotion
• B. Foot soak
• C. Cuticle remover
• D. Hand scrub

Answer: (A)

Exfoliating dead skin is the goal here, and sloughing lotion is designed to do exactly that on the feet. It contains exfoliating agents that loosen and lift away dead skin cells, helping to smooth the surface after soaking. A foot soak mainly softens skin and relaxes tissues, which makes exfoliation easier but doesn’t by itself remove dead skin. A cuticle remover is meant to dissolve or loosen the cuticle tissue around the nails, not the thick dead skin on the feet. A hand scrub is formulated for the hands, not specifically for pedicure needs on the feet. So the product used to remove dead skin cells during a pedicure is the sloughing lotion.
