Pumice Stone vs. Nail File
- A nail file is a tool used to grind down and shape the edges of nails. Several types of nail files are available.
- Nail files can be made of metal, ceramic, or glass. Emery boards are another type of nail file. They are made of emery paper and cardboard, making them less abrasive to the nails.
- A pumice stone is a pedicure tool used to gently file away calluses and other rough spots on the feet. They come in several shapes and colors.
- To use a pumice stone, soak your feet in warm, soapy water. Gently rub the stone back and forth across rough patches on the feet until they begin to feel softer.
- Be gentle when using a pumice stone. Rubbing too hard can break the skin and cause bleeding. Follow up with moisturizer after each use to keep the skin soft.
