A few years ago, pedicure foot files were only used as an essential part of a pedicure, but since then things have changed. Foot files are also used for spa treatments and for regular skin glow. For pedicures, the foot file is either used when the feet are soaked in pedicure solution or after drying the soaked feet in the solution. This is differentiated as wet and dry filing. Dry filing can be more effective than wet filing.
