Arkansas Cosmetology Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

Which tool is primarily used to remove dead skin cells during a manicure?

An emery board

A foot file or pumice stone

The tool that is primarily used to remove dead skin cells during a manicure is the foot file or pumice stone. These tools are specifically designed with a rough surface that effectively exfoliates and sloughs off dead skin, particularly on the feet but can also be used in skincare routines for the hands to ensure that all areas are smooth and free of dead skin.

While other tools mentioned can have their respective uses in a manicure, they are not primarily intended for the removal of dead skin. For instance, an emery board is mainly used for shaping and smoothing the edges of the nails, a nail clipper is designed for cutting nails, and a cuticle pusher is effectively used to push back or remove cuticles but does not focus on the exfoliation of the skin. Therefore, the foot file or pumice stone is the most appropriate choice for the specific task of removing dead skin cells.
