Electric foot file

Foot care at home is in no way inferior to procedures in the salon. Every woman has access to the same professional products, tools, and even electric pedicure devices. It is a real misconception that a woman can only do a classic trimmed pedicure at home. You can do a mixed or hardware pedicure if you have an electric foot file. This device is extremely simple - a roller with an abrasive on the handle, which rotates at high speed and cleans the foot from dead skin. The saw is powered by electricity. The downside of such a tool is one - the cost and the purchase of consumables.

The advantages of dry pedicure are forcing more and more women to abandon the classic way of treating their feet and switch to hardware cleansing.

Using an electric foot file makes it quicker and easier to get smooth heels. You don’t need to rub anything on your own, no efforts are made, the skin does not need to be constantly moistened. Saves time and energy.

Preliminary preparation is not required: steaming and applying creams and oils.However, it is worth preparing for the fact that skin dust can rise into the air, and not everyone likes it.

These pedicure devices are used to keep the feet in good condition. If you have problems in the form of severe corns, deep cracks and increased dryness, then you will need a mixed type of care: working with a pumice stone on a wet surface, moisturizing the skin twice a day with creams with aggressive moisturizing, softening and antiseptic components (for example, urea), and then already - hardware grinding.

Many manufacturers produce electric pedicure files. Their principle of operation and appearance are similar, but, of course, there are differences.

This model is one of the most popular among women. Its estimated cost is from 1100 to 1500 rubles. The following little things make this file popular:

• Works both from the mains and from the battery, while you can use the device during the charging process.
• Humidity resistance of the body, the ability to rinse the roller under water without fear of damaging the machine.
• Two rollers included: one for grinding, the second for soft polishing. This is very convenient, given that often the skin is not perfectly smooth after resurfacing.
• The speed of revolutions is 3000 per minute. Powerful enough to quickly eliminate "weekly fatigue" from the legs.
• Includes finger separators and cleaning brush.

The weight of the device is 400 g, which is quite a lot, considering that a conventional depilator weighs about 75 g. True, most likely, the manufacturer indicated the weight with packaging and accessories.

This model is already more expensive, on the manufacturer's website it is priced at 2,200 rubles.However, there is nothing remarkable about it. The device does not work on a battery, but on four finger batteries. It is impossible to keep track of when they sit down. The declared speed of rotation is 40 revolutions per second, which is only 2400 revolutions per minute. With this power, the file will not polish slightly neglected heels.

Of the pluses, one can note the silicon carbide coating on the nozzle, which allows you to do a pedicure on both dry and wet skin. In general, for a higher price, the user receives a less functional device.

File from Avon - a direct competitor of the above model from a Swedish corporation (at a price of about 1000 rubles). This device is made of plastic, made in China, has an abrasive paper roller and runs on two AA batteries.

It is inconvenient that it is not on free sale - you have to wait until it appears in the catalog. All women complain about the low power, which does not allow them to do a pedicure quickly and efficiently. From the long movement of the file along the heels, the hand gets tired - it’s easier to rub your feet with a pumice stone once a week in the bathroom. However, someone says that the matter is in low-quality batteries. For the device to work well, powerful batteries are required. However, the price of a file “bites” less than in Oriflame.

A model that is not inferior to the very first of the review. Its cost also fluctuates between 1500-1700 rubles in the domestic market. Judging by the reviews, it can be noted that the quality is not bad. If you try, you can order this file on the well-known Asian trading platform - for 700-800 rubles.

Distinctive feature from a file scarlett - the inability to work from the mains adapter (first charged, then did a pedicure).The disadvantage is the lack of a charge indicator. A woman cannot know how much her available energy will last. You may have to interrupt the procedure and wait an hour until the file is slightly charged. Full charge cycle - 8 hours.

The kit comes with two nozzles and a cleaning brush. The big advantage is that the nozzles are freely available and cost around 350 rubles per pair - you don’t have to wait months for the necessary goods to be brought to the warehouse.

When choosing a battery-operated foot file, you should be guided by personal requests: it is important for someone that it be light, someone likes antimicrobial, and so on.

If you often suffer from irritations, then choose a file with a silver-plated roller, which prevents the growth of germs.

If you do not have very good lighting in the bathroom, then it is better to stop at a file with built-in lighting (like a depilator).

If your skin is too sensitive, then you need to look at the size of the abrasive particles on the rollers (the smaller, the better) and low power (so as not to injure delicate skin with a high rotation speed).

If you take a file for professional work, then you will need to adjust the speeds (under the skin of each client), as well as the presence of an antiseptic coating on the rollers, a waterproof case (so that you can sterilize) and diamond grit as part of the abrasive (so that it does not wear off).

If you choose the best from a huge range of electric files, then any one that has a laser notch on the abrasive is in the lead. She copes not only with minor imperfections of the heels, but even with rough corns. The speed and quality of cleaning are high, such devices gently remove dead skin while polishing it.

The next most popular are devices with a high rotation speed. Ideal - 4000 rpm, acceptable - 3600 rpm. If the rotation speed is lower, then the file is only suitable for thin skin.

If you read negative reviews about electric foot grinders and believe everything, then make allowances for the characteristics of each woman's skin. Read the specifications and compare them to your requirements.

Using a professional electric heel file has its own characteristics. Failure to follow the recommendations can lead either to damage to the device or to damage to the skin of the foot. The following important recommendations can be highlighted:

• The skin must be clean and dry before the procedure., no need to steam your legs before a pedicure. Grinding of heels for wet, sweaty skin is not carried out. From this, the abrasive is clogged, and further use of the file is impossible - all that remains is to change the nozzle.
• It is necessary to move the roller file in the direction “towards you”. Leading it away from you, you make a movement as opposed to the movement of the roller itself, which leads to its breakdown.

• The file works quickly and removes the skin from the feet very well., so do not press it into the heel and do not treat one place for more than 10 seconds.Although manufacturers say that battery-operated pedicure files do not remove the living layer of the epidermis, it is better not to believe them. Peel off the living layer - the skin will grow faster and be twice as rough.
• Handle the device only on the foot, it is not intended for toenails - and even less so for manicures. Hair and clothes getting under the roller leads to clogging and additional expenses for consumables.
• The file should not be used if the skin has deep cracks., there are warts, especially moles or papillomas.

Many women note the futility of the polishing procedure for legs that are in a state of disrepair: for example, after the summer season or for those who do a pedicure once a month, do not use creams, but are “on their feet” all day (sales assistants, couriers , teachers).

From the reviews, you can understand that electric files are only intended to keep the legs in good condition. The most advertised Scholl file is the least popular and is rated as the most useless. Processing with such a device takes at least 20 minutes. Many people prefer to steam their legs in 15 minutes while reading a book, and then rub their heels with a pumice stone for 5 minutes than to drive hard on their legs with an electric file for 20 minutes.
