Natural Volcanic Pumice Stone

Pumice begins as molten lava. As it cools, gases escape and leave behind thousands of tiny air pockets, which is why this stone is light enough to float in water. Those same pockets give it a natural, gentle grit that buffs away dry, rough skin without harsh chemicals or plastic scrubbers.

Each stone is polished just enough to soften its edges, so it keeps its natural scrubbing texture. Because pumice is formed by nature, no two stones are exactly alike in color, shape, or texture.

I like to keep one by the tub for luxurious home-spa evenings and another by the shower for daily upkeep. On wet skin, a minute of light buffing in the shower keeps feet feeling smooth and ready for a nourishing moisturizer, like my Comfort Cream.

How to use

If your feet, knees or elbows are thick and rough, soak in warm water for 5 to 10 minutes to soften. Then while skin is still wet, rub gently over these areas in small circles. Rinse and follow with a moisturizing cream. If very rough, it will take several applications over time to soften and smooth the skin. Be patient. Don’t try to rub it all away at one time.

Care

Rinse the stone well after each use and let it dry completely between uses. Replace it when it becomes worn smooth or discolored. With care, your pumice can last for years.

Caution

Let the stone do the work; light pressure is all you need.  Use on wet skin only.  Do not use on broken, irritated, sunburned, or sensitive skin.
