Natural exfoliating double sided pumice stone and scrubbing brush with sisal fibers.
This dual sided foot tool is perfect for exfoliating and cleaning the feet. The stone helps to clean and rejuvenate the feet and heals removing dry skin, while the bristles can massage the skin and remove dirt from the surface of the skin.
A pumice stone can exfoliate skin and soften calluses. However, incorrect use can cause bleeding or increase infection risk.
Preparation
-
Gather all of your materials in one place. Make sure that your stone and water are clean.
-
Soak your dry, callused skin in warm water for 5 to 10 minutes. This will help to soften your hardened skin. Add soap or an oil to your water for extra softening and to increase moisture. If you’re using a pumice stone on your elbows, knees, or face, complete this step in a warm bath or shower.
Using The Pumice Stone
-
While you’re soaking your skin, also soak your pumice stone in warm water. Never use a dry pumice stone on your skin. A wet pumice stone will glide across your skin easily and will reduce your risk of injury.
-
Remove the target area from the soap bath and pat dry with a towel. If your skin is still rough, soak for a few more minutes before patting your skin dry.
-
Remove the pumice stone from the warm water and apply it to your skin.
-
Rub the abrasive side of the pumice stone over your skin in a circular motion with light pressure. Massage your skin for two or three minutes. If your skin begins to feel sensitive or sore, stop immediately because you’re most likely using too much pressure.
-
For your feet, focus your attention on your heels, the sides of your toes, and other dry areas you recognize.
-
Continue rubbing the pumice stone on your skin until you’ve removed the dead skin and revealed softer skin underneath.
-
After two to three minutes of light rubbing, rinse your skin. If you still see patches of dead skin, repeat this process. Also, rinse your pumice stone for every session to keep the surface clean.
-
You can repeat this process daily or a few times a week to maintain soft, supple skin.
Finishing up
-
When you’re done, apply a Poofy lotion, or body butter or oil to your skin to maintain moisture and keep your skin soft. For a boost, put on moisturizing socks after moisturizing your skin.
-
Clean your pumice stone after every use. Under running water, use a bristle brush to scrub dead skin off of the stone. Apply a small amount of soap to make sure it’s clean and free of any dirt. Bacteria can grow on the surface.
-
Do not share your pumice with other people. Each family member should have their own.
-
Allow the stone to dry on its own. Set it in a dry area away from moisture to prevent bacteria growth.
-
For deep cleaning, boil your pumice stone in hot water for five minutes. Allow it to air dry away from damp areas.
-
Your stone will wear down over time, becoming too smooth to remain effective. If your stone becomes too small, smooth, or soft, replace it.
