1.4 Nail Buffer
● Place the thumb and the ring finger under the
handle of the buffer while the index and the
middle fingers are on its top and the pinky is on
its side. Apply a small amount of powder over the
buffer then buff the nails with downward strokes
from the base to the free edge of each nail until a
smooth clear gloss has been obtained. Buffing
helps in giving the nail natural gloss and
increases blood circulation to the fingertips. To
prevent heating and burning sensation, lift the
buffer from the nail after each stroke.

1.8 Callus Remover
● Insert the blade into the callous remover with
care. Lay the callous remover on the top thick part
of the callous. Do not lay the blade above the area
that is going to be cut, as this may result in
cutting the soft part of the foot, resulting in an
open wound. Applying light pressure with a
steady hand on the callous remover, gently glide
it over the callous. Repeat the process if
necessary until the callous is thinner. Smoothen
the callous with a foot file.
