It is no secret that delicate female legs require special care. Many fashionable and modern women prefer not only a well-groomed and beautiful manicure, but also an impeccable pedicure, as well as perfectly smooth legs, especially feet. Rough and dry heels definitely do not make female legs attractive. This problem is easily solved by a file (also called a grater) for the legs, which will help make the skin smooth and soft. As experts in the field of pedicure say, a variety of foot care methods is not as important as constantly cleaning the skin with a foot file and applying a nourishing cream.

For the smoothness and tenderness of the heels, each representative of the fair sex needs to have a foot file at home. A foot grater is a self-care tool that is designed to grind the heels and remove the so-called corns. Many foot files have two sides, one of the surfaces is necessarily medium or high abrasive, and the other is always much softer. Double-sided files exist for a reason. The rough side is made to be able to quickly and effectively get rid of corns, while the soft side is made for grinding. Thanks to the soft side, the skin of the legs becomes soft, smooth and silky. After using a foot file, it must be washed and disinfected to ensure that the surface is hygienic and to prevent the emergence and development of microbes.

What are foot files?

In order to properly care for the skin of the feet, you need to know how to choose the right foot file. Nowadays, there are many different types of this device and each of them has its own characteristics.

When choosing a foot file, consider:

• method of exposure to the skin: mechanical or electrical;
• type of abrasive material: emery, laser, pumice, diamond or ceramic coating;
• abrasiveness: small or large.

Each of these options has its pros and cons, so before you go to the store to buy a foot file, you need to decide what suits your needs the best.

• File with laser coating. A modern look of the file, whose grinding metal surface is additionally covered with laser engraving. Thanks to this, we have a file with an irregularity in the form of a pattern, which is able to delicately care for the skin of the legs. As in the case of emery files, these devices are stiff and abrasive.
• Single-sided coated foot file.
• Foot file with double-sided coating.
• Nail files with metal coating. They are able to quickly and productively help get rid of rough skin and even calluses on the foot. You can use such files only on rough skin, so as not to harm your skin.
• Foot files with ceramic coating. These nail files are great for ladies with sensitive skin.
• Files with an emery coating. It is very easy to process the skin of the foot with such a file. The file does not injure the skin and does not create discomfort during the heel cleansing procedure. The files are quite effective: you can clear the skin of corns in a short time.

How to choose the right foot file

There are a few things to consider when choosing an ideal foot file for your skin:

1. The body of the nail file must be made of high-quality plastic or wood.
2. There must be a comfortable handle for convenient use.
3. The coating of the working part should not be worn off after the first or second use.
4. It is advisable to purchase a file with two working sides.

Foot file - how to use

There is no single correct way, so each girl chooses the one that she likes the most. There are three options for using a foot file:

Wet (this method is recommended by many experts)

1. First of all, you need to pour hot water into the bath and steam your legs in it.
2. Wipe your feet and carefully process them with a file. It is important to remember that you need to rub in one direction to reduce the risk of injury to the skin.
3. Rinse your feet, dry and apply cream.
4. This method works great if you use pumice stone, laser or ceramic files, but do not forget that regular contact with water can shorten the life of the device.

Dry

A great option for those women who do not want to spend a lot of time. In this case, there is no preliminary preparation and steaming of the legs, because the skin is cleaned immediately. The dry method has two big disadvantages:

1. you can easily damage the dermis, so you should resort to it only if there are no cracks on the foot and use it exclusively as a light polishing;
2. a lot of dust.

Using cream

This method is a bit similar to the wet one, but instead of a bath with hot water, the legs are softened with a cream. The most important thing is to choose a suitable product that does not cause allergies and moisturizes the skin well.

Everything happens in just two simple steps:

1. before starting the procedure, it is necessary to apply a special cream on the legs and rub it well;
2. after waiting for the cream to be completely absorbed into the skin, you can start processing the skin with a foot file.

Unlike the dry method, this method does not harm the skin and does not leave dust, but keep in mind that the ideal condition of the legs can only be achieved with comprehensive skincare.
