Taking care of your feet is equally important as much as you take care of your face. Feet constantly remain in touch with the ground, so they need to be well taken care of. It is especially crucial in the winters because the dry wind of this cold season makes the skin lifeless, dry, itchy, and cracked.

Before diving into learning what is the right way to use a pumice stone, let’s understand what this stone is.
What is a Pumice Stone?
A pumice stone is an abrasive, yet light stone used to get rid of dead skin. This stone is also incredibly useful in removing calluses and corns that cause pain and discomfort to your skin. While there are innumerable pumice stone uses, it’s important to know the right way to use them to avoid cutting or chipping if it is not used correctly.
The benefits of using good-quality Pumice stone include:
- It helps remove dead skin cells.
- It gives softer and smoother skin thus allowing the moisturizer to work effectively on the area.
- It gives fresh skin while also brightening the area, if regularly cleaned by the stone.
- More comfortable feet, heels, elbows and knees.
Now that you have a basic idea, let’s understand the step-by-step guide on how to use a Pumice Stone:
How To Use a Pumice Stone?
- Soak Your Feet: Begin soaking your feet in lukewarm water for approximately 5-10 minutes to soften the skin before exfoliating. Don’t soak for too long else the skin will get wrinkled
- Let the Skin Soften: Pat dry the skin with a towel and wait for a few minutes for the skin to soften before you use a pumice stone
- Rinse Vega Pumice Stone: Dampen the pumice stone in warm water. Never use dry pumice stone because it may lead to injury like cuts or bruises
- Rubbing the Stone: Start rubbing the abrasive side of the pumice stone gently in circular motions. Keep going until the dead skin cells are effectively removed. Avoid pressing too hard and let the pumice stone do its work effectively
- Rinse Off: Focus on the areas of your feet and heels where the dead skin is built up. Now, rinse the dry skin off and check carefully if you have cleaned properly. Clean the pumice stone after every session for a clean and effective surface
- Moisturize the Skin: Once you are done with exfoliating, pat dry your feet with towel. Apply moisturizer such as coconut oil or your regular body lotion to get soft and supple skin easily.
Use Vega pumice stone at least thrice a week for soft and supple skin. In order to take care of pumice stone and prevent bacterial growth, keep it clean by following the steps mentioned below:
