Why do you need?
Problems with the skin of the legs and nails can be many. These are ordinary corns, ingrown nails, corns, rough heels, and even warts. A pedicure machine does not solve all these problems, but, of course, it can significantly alleviate the condition of the skin. This tool looks like a scraper with a blade. It is quite easy to use it, it cuts off unnecessary coarse dry skin from the corns and heels.
In the modern market, the device is sold as a set of models with different lengths and thicknesses., with a different blade and design. Most often, as a gift to the machine there is a grinding file and a set of interchangeable blades.
Blades of medical steel are distinguished by their special quality, but they are more suitable for pedicure masters; for home use, you can choose other good blades.
How to make a procedure?
The machine can save you from many problems with the feet, but only if used correctly. Below we provide you with a brief instruction.
- Preparation of feet at home. The feet must first be prepared by steaming the skin on them. If you do not have salt for steaming your feet in the bath, you can use regular baking soda. The hydrogel will work best with this work, but this again, only if you have it at home. 20 minutes is enough for the procedure. In the presence of especially dense and coarse tissues on the skin, it is necessary to apply a cream on these places before soaking.
- Tool preparation. All this stage consists only in correct fixation of the blade on the machine. The blade is pressed against the retainer and snaps into place. This also includes the stage of processing the tool, if, besides you, someone else uses it.
- Foot treatment with antiseptic. This is done so that in case of an accidental cut, an infection is not scratched.
- Convenient location of the feet. It is very important. The razor should be at a 45 degree angle to the surface of the foot. At this angle, you should begin to slowly cut off the skin. You must take a position in which you could easily reach the entire surface of the foot. Skin should be cut off without pressure, in light movements, gradually.
- Machine calluses. After you have cut off the hardened fabric, proceed to the treatment of corns. The skin from them should be cut off separately and very carefully, if possible, tightening it. At the slightest discomfort, redness should stop working. In no case do not bring to the bleeding, then the wound will hurt for a very long time. Better to finish than to overdo it.
- Processing grinding file. This is required in order to remove all roughness and roughness of the skin.
- Moisturizing and soothing skin. This procedure is stressful for the skin, so after it you need to make a foot bath with oils or herbal decoction.
- Applying cream. Feet should be lubricated with a moisturizer with a high percentage of fat.
Tips when using
First of all, it is necessary to understand well that the use of the machine is not a panacea for all skin diseases on the legs.It helps well only when removing horny skin and dry corns. And for the best result, you will need not one session, but 2 or even 3 with some frequency. It is important not to overdo it. Too much skin will become more sensitive and will be subject to mechanical injury.
After the completion of the procedure, it is necessary not only to rinse the machine, but also to disinfect it. It is necessary to disassemble it and do the procedure with every detail. At home, alcohol or another similar liquid is quite suitable for this. After washing it is important to wipe the machine dry.

Reviews
Opponents of the use of the machine quite a lot. Some cite the fact that they couldn’t “stretch their hands” and cut their heels, others that these procedures make the skin addictive, after which other procedures become useless. Be that as it may, caution and care in this matter, as in any other, has not been canceled. This procedure can always be gradually abandoned at any time.
Nevertheless, machining the heels with a machine gets more and more adherents every year. Many users have described that now you do not need to go to salons and spend money on the road and the work of the master. Learning technology is not difficult, you need only patience and perseverance. Most girls are satisfied with the fact that if they suddenly “turn up” a date, then you can not be nervous and not pull the master, who is busy for a week ahead.
