File Scholl

The love of high heels and trendy uncomfortable shoes is a big test even for the youngest feet. Subsequently, the upper layer of the epidermis of the feet becomes rougher, flaky and looks unaesthetic, and there is not always enough time and money to go to a beauty salon. A modern woman needs a fast, radical and effective way to eliminate rough epithelium on her legs. There is a solution - an electric file School.

In the beauty market, the brand name Scholl has existed for quite a long time and has managed to establish itself as a good manufacturer of foot skin care devices. The founder of the company is Dr. William Mathias Scholl. Throughout his adult life, he studied the anatomy of human legs and their physiology. William tried to help people with pain in the legs, as well as improve health through the feet. It was he who initiated the idea of ​​a free examination of the feet, as well as the holding of a national week to care for them.

The company does not stand still, and together with the Institute of Medicine creates the latest devices and products for the care and improvement of legs and feet.Today, the company's products are known in more than 70 countries around the world.

The Scholl electric roller machine has several types and types: battery-powered, battery-powered, mains-powered. There are waterproof, conventional electric and double-action files that work only on applied forces. A special set for manicure on hands and feet has also been created. The manufacturer tries to please all fashionistas.

The packaging is made of ordinary transparent plastic. There are instructions for use inside. The device has a convenient streamlined handle holder. In terms of weight in the hand, it resembles an ordinary massage comb for the head. The case is made of rubberized plastic, pleasant to the touch. On the handle there is a silver ring, which, when turned, starts the rotation mechanism.

The color palette includes blue, white or pink body color. Inside there is a black replaceable abrasive roller. Thanks to its rotation, keratinized particles are removed from the surface of the heels and the foot as a whole. The roller is easy to replace if the abrasive layer is depleted and does not perform its function well. Depending on the model, a battery charger is included in the package. A roller cover is included to protect against damage.

Behind there is a special opening line. By clicking on it, the consumer can easily open the box without the use of improvised means.

As mentioned earlier, there are several types. Some of them:

Place of production - China. The kit includes instructions, the device itself, 1 roller nozzle, a cover for closing the roller. Powered by 4 batteries. Only suitable for use on dry feet, not intended for use on other parts of the body.Avoid contact with water, otherwise it will break. It has one rotational speed when turning the ring on the handle. They are mostly white and blue.

There is an analogue that can work both from batteries and from a charger with a USB output for a laptop or desktop computer.

To work, you need ordinary AA batteries (one set will already be inside). The manufacturer writes that alkaline and saline batteries cannot be used for this device.

The model is also made in China. The kit includes a waterproof housing, a battery, an abrasive roller nozzle with a cap, a charger with a small cable, and instructions. Area of ​​use - feet. Easy to use, you can polish both dry and steamed dermis while in the bathroom. The stores give a guarantee of 1.5 years. Case color - pink.

The model is made in China. It is a convenient machine-handle with two attached tapes of an abrasive layer of different hardness. The first surface has a coarse-grained structure of the abrasive layer to remove severely rough and cracked skin. The second side is softer in impact, which allows you to even out the epidermis layer and remove small roughness that will not tolerate rough exposure.

The model is similar in characteristics and configuration to another variety ("Velvet Smooth").Its only difference is that the processing roller contains diamond chips, so it is rougher and harder. This contributes to the removal of severely roughened skin areas. Keep the device in a dry place to avoid damage. In addition to batteries, you can use an AA battery.

After opening the box, the device needs to be charged. To do this, connect the charger from the kit to a special connector on the handle. Charging is in progress while the green indicator light is flashing. On average, this takes an hour and a half. The battery power is enough for long daily use without recharging, about 2-3 weeks. If the charger is broken, a 6V power supply can serve as an alternative

The device is made specifically for the treatment of nail plates on the hands and feet. The body is similar to a pedicure machine, but half the size. The kit includes 3 interchangeable nozzles (for filing, polishing and polishing nails). The device is powered by 1 AA battery, which is included. It is not designed to work in water.

To answer the question of which model to choose for foot care - conventional mechanical or electrical, it is necessary to conduct a comparative analysis.

Before starting work, the device should be freed from the protective cap. To start the rotational mechanism, turn the silver ring on the handle to the left. After that, the roller will begin to rotate rapidly. It is with this side of the device that you need to process the necessary area on the skin. This should be done very carefully so as not to damage the epidermis. The softer and smoother the movement through problem areas and the foot, the better and better the dead epithelium is removed.

The operation of the electric roller file is carried out only on clean and dry skin. There is no need to use any hot baths or gels for steaming, which significantly speeds up the process.

During the procedure, white dust is formed - this is the dead particles of the epidermis. It is important not to abuse the device, you should not treat the same place for a long time (no more than 3 seconds), if you overdo it, then the living epithelium is easily damaged. After use, wash your feet with plain water and apply a moisturizer.

When using a mechanical file, you should soften the upper keratinized layer of the skin (make a warming bath or apply a specialized warming cream-gel). Next, with translational movements, gently pressing on the file, process the feet.

The Scholl nail file also requires a certain sequence of use. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly before use. The device should not be used for very weak, thin and brittle nails. There is a risk of deformation of the nail bed. First, use the filing attachment to create the optimal shape of the nails. Then polish with nozzle #2. At the end, polish the surface of the nails to a shine.

It will be a big surprise, but the procedure can be used not only for rough, cracked skin of the legs and elimination of corns. If the hands (from the side of the palm) also do not please with their softness and tenderness, the Scholl file will help here too (there are less rigid roller nozzles that are sold separately)

If during operation the nail file began to perform its purpose poorly, then it's time to change the abrasive. To change, use only the same roller. Press the blue button and gently pull on it. Install the replacement and make sure it is well secured and in place in the apiaries.

After use, the file must be cleaned of the remnants of dead cells that have accumulated in the pores of the abrasive stone. If you have a non-permeable Wet&Dry model, remove the roller before cleaning. By pressing the button on the side of the holder, it is easy to get it.Rinse it thoroughly under running water so that no skin particles remain, otherwise your file will become a breeding ground for germs and bacteria. Wipe the case and all components with a dry cloth. Put on the protective cover.

Unscrew the lower part of the handle of the device to the left side (counterclockwise). Remove old batteries. Unpack and install 4 new ones. Insert them according to the plus and minus symbols drawn on the inside of the lid. Tighten the lid carefully so that the apiaries line up.

Nowadays, quite convincing fakes are made for absolutely all products, the Scholl file is no exception. In order not to buy a Chinese fake, when choosing a file, pay attention to the following points:

• Package. With a visual comparison, you can immediately see where the real product is. Branded packaging must have the Scholl logo (white inscription in a blue oval). Also sometimes the forms differ in height and width.
• Font. Very noticeable different-sized font on the front and back of the package. On the original, it is clear with respect to proportions and indents.
• Language. The original Scholl nail file is completely Russified, on the package, except for the name, there will be no other language. A fake may contain a mixture of English and Russian, or Russian may be completely absent.

• Equipment. Each package contains a list of the components of the kit. A fake may lack parts such as batteries, a cover, a replacement roller. In real packaging, the contents always match the written list of contents.
• abrasive roller. For a fake, the roller has a smoother structure.The original is more rigid, the abrasive is larger and visually looks better
• Sound. The work of a fake device is much louder. During operation, it vibrates noticeably in the hand. A real file is quieter and behaves calmly while working with it.
• A pen. The original handle is rubberized and has a company logo at the bottom. The handle of the copy consists of ordinary plastic, with a small gap at the cover for changing batteries.

• Switch. The turning ring for turning the file on and off has a characteristic click on the original, while the fake does not.
• Certificate of conformity. If there are still doubts, then you can ask the seller for the so-called certificate of conformity, which is issued by the Russian authority RosTest. This means that the device has passed a number of tests and is absolutely safe to use.
• Party code. On the back of the package, next to the barcode, a real file has a batch code - a digital code applied by the manufacturer. This data is not on the fake.
• Batteries. A real Scholl has 4 batteries inside, usually from Duracell. A copy requires a separate purchase of batteries.
• Button. When the roller is replaced, the process is easy in the original. There is a moment in the replica that the video gets stuck.

If one day the file stops working, do not rush to throw it away. The best and surest way to fix it is to take it to a repair shop, where for a small fee they will fix it and bring it back to life. Before going to the workshop, conduct a preliminary inspection, the battery may have been discharged or the batteries have run out of charge. If this is not the problem, then just try to clean it properly.Often it is the uncleanliness that is the cause of the breakdown.

The Scholl nail file is not a single product, there are a large number of prototypes. Their quality also varies. The most famous are:

• Apparatus for pedicure Clarisonic Pedi. This is a whole set consisting of the skin care machine itself, an abrasive in the form of a circle, a brush, a foot scrub, a bottle of balm, and a peeling serum. The set will pleasantly surprise you with a complete set. As users note, you should not expect great results, it only helps the feet, which are not at a very advanced stage. The price for this model varies from 8000 rubles.

• Device for pedicure Aeg Phe. The set consists of a handle holder, 4 interchangeable nozzles of different hardness and color, a brush for cleaning the rollers. The rollers themselves are a plastic case wrapped in prototype sandpaper, shortening their shelf life. It rotates quickly and removes the stratum corneum well. You can buy such a unit for about 1500 rubles.

• Mechanical file for pedicure Zinger. The company has long established itself in the market as a manufacturer of quality personal care products. Pedicure products are also included in their number. Goods are presented only mechanical plan. These are small foot files with different abrasive coatings. In some models, there is a small nail file inside the handle, which makes it more convenient to use.

• Kemei Electric Roller File. This is a Russian brand, but made in China. The set includes the device itself, a set of 2 rollers, a charger, a cleaning brush. Can be used on both dry and wet or steamed feet. Does its job well. In the store it can be purchased for 1600 rubles.
• Electric roller file Galaxy. The product is a Chinese counterpart. Battery operated, charger included. Has 2 interchangeable pedicure rollers. The device itself is small and easy to use. Treats leather well. You can buy it for 600 rubles. However, not all stores can find it, most likely, you will have to place an order in online stores.

The truth about the quality of the goods can only be obtained from the consumer. Owners of various models of the Scholl roller electric file speak ambiguously about it. First of all, buyers note the convenience and light weight, you can take it with you anywhere, whether it's a trip on vacation or to the country. Ease of use and easy maintenance of the device (change of roller, batteries, battery charging, cleaning) were also noted.

Most women (as well as men) note that the nail file does its job, but only in those areas of the arch of the foot that do not have a large layer of keratinized dermis. For "running" cases, it is proposed to combine the use of a mechanical and electric file. First, process the steamed foot with an ordinary mechanical nail file, and then polish the already dried foot with an electric one.

This method is not a panacea and will not replace a trip to a beauty salon to a good master. Some of the girls are completely unhappy with the purchase, talking about unjustified hopes and wasted money. This is due to the fact that a fake was purchased or the abrasive roller was not of the same hardness. In any case, such consumers recommend using a Scholl mechanical saw or equivalent.
