How to Use A Pumice Stone

Do your feet need a little extra TLC this winter? If you're ready to swap rough heels for baby-soft skin, a pumice stone is about to become your new best friend. This little natural skincare tool is simple yet so effective—and when paired with the right products, it's practically spa-worthy.

What is a pumice stone?
A pumice stone is a lightweight, porous rock that forms when water mixes with lava. It's often used to gently buff away tough, dry skin. Think of it as the exfoliating hero for your feet. It's all-natural, budget-friendly, and way easier to use than you'd expect.

How to use a pumice stone
Before grabbing your pumice stone, soak your feet in warm, soapy water. This softens the skin, making it easier to slough off dead cells. You can also add a few drops of your favorite essential oil with hydrating properties for a refreshing, relaxing soak.

(1) Wet your pumice stone. Wet the pumice stone to avoid irritating your skin. Gently rub it on the rough areas in circular motions or back and forth, focusing on your heels and calluses. Let the stone do the work—there's no need to press too hard!

(2) Rinse and repeat. As the dead skin starts to lift away, rinse both your feet and the stone regularly. This keeps the process smooth and effective.

(3) The finishing touch. Rinse your feet and pat them dry with a clean towel. Follow up with a natural moisturizer for dry skin to lock in hydration and keep them soft. For an extra treat, try a luxury airless skincare cream—it's perfect for adding a bit of indulgence to your routine.

Bonus tips:
Limit pumice sessions to once or twice a week to avoid over-exfoliating.
Use it on damp skin only; dry buffing can cause irritation.
After each use, clean your pumice stone with warm water and a little soap, then let it air dry.

Make it a ritual
Using a pumice stone can easily become part of your self-care routine. Pair it with clean beauty products that prioritize natural, effective ingredients, and your feet will thank you.
