So Eco Natural Wooden Foot File

So Eco Natural Wooden Foot File is a foot file on a biodegradable wooden body, with an abrasive surface for buffing away the hard skin that builds up on heels and soles. Hard skin comes off a layer at a time rather than in one pass, so the way to use it is to work until the surface feels even and then stop — not to keep going until something looks different. Wood instead of moulded plastic means the file can be thrown out at the end of its life without a plastic handle outliving it. It is a tool for the thick skin of the feet, not for the face or anywhere the skin is thin.

Benefits

• The abrasive surface takes hard skin down a layer at a time, so you can stop once the heel feels even instead of overshooting in one go.
• The wooden body is shaped to grip, which counts on a file used bent over your own foot and often with wet hands.

How to use

• Buff the hard area in short strokes, checking the skin every few passes.
• Keep to the heels and the soles rather than the top of the foot or the ankle.
• Stop while the skin still feels comfortable; there is no set amount you are meant to remove.
• Keep the file away from cracked, inflamed or broken skin.
• Dry it fully after use and store it dry rather than in the shower.
