The NS8 Foot Files: WHY Wetter is Better!

The question is often asked, “Is it better to file your feet wet or dry?” Of course, there are views on both sides. Ultimately, the decision will depend on your preferences, situation, and needs. But let’s go through a few reasons why we believe foot filing is better done wetter.

Traditional Salon pedicures involve soaking feet in water before the filing, cutting, and clipping begins. But many at-home routines skip this step. It’s essential to take the time at home to prepare your skin and make for a smoother experience and optimal results.

Here are a couple of reasons why filing wetter is better.

• EASIER TO FILE - Soaking feet before filing, softens nails and skin, making filing easier.

• EASY TO REMOVE DEAD SKIN WITHOUT IRRITATION - Softened skin allows dead cells and rough patches to be easily removed without as much friction, heat or irritation.

• NO MESS - Filing wet in the shower means you can easily wash away the excess skin and file your feet without the mess!

The next decision is to choose a suitable foot file. There are a few things to consider, like durability and strength. Many foot files deteriorate over time and lose their grit and effectiveness. But as we have discovered, not all foot files are the same!
