Pumice is a natural stone made from molten volcanic rocks (the result of a brutal eruption of magma). It is a porous stone with abrasive properties. There are pumice stones in white color, its raw form, or even gray, red or black. The one we are offering you comes from Kalymnos, a mountainous island in the Dodecanese archipelago in the Aegean Sea, off the coast of Greece.

A pumice stone helps exfoliate and remove layers of dead skin cells in depth. It is generally used for the care of the feet or elbows since the skin there is particularly thick.

Unlike the hands, we too often neglect our feet! However, your feet need as much attention and care as the rest of your body. Corn on the foot can appear due to friction from shoes. It is therefore important to have regular care for your feet every season.

Hardened skin is the key feature in the formation of hoof and calluses. They are often characterized by a yellowish discoloration and appear on the tops and sides of the toes, on the sole of the foot and behind the heel.

Calluses are often less defined than the horns on the foot and often less hard. Calluses are often felt as a diffuse burn while corns can cause sharp pain when walking and can affect your well-being during daily activities. However, the causes of foot horns and calluses are very similar.

Use the wet pumice stone on damp, clean feet, ideally while showering or bathing. Gently rub in circular motions to smooth out any rough edges, paying particular attention to the edges and any rough areas until the skin becomes soft. Re-wet the pumice stone from time to time during use: dry, it is less effective. Rinse and dry feet. Rinse the pumice stone with clean water. Pumice can be stored for a long time. It should be changed when it becomes smooth.

The pumice stone is preferably used once a week because daily use risks weakening the epidermis of the soles of the feet.

For optimal use, let the feet rest in hot water with shower oil for 10 minutes before carrying out the scrub. The hot foot bath will have the effect of softening the thick skin on the heels as well as that located under the soles of the feet. After the foot bath, rub from bottom to top (not in a circular or back and forth motion) the heel and the bottom of the foot at the level of the big toe. Normally, no pain should be felt since it is dead skin.

Don't forget to gently dry your feet before applying foot cream. For a greater effect, you can wear socks to help the cream penetrate well. This weekly foot treatment is preferably carried out in the evening just before going to sleep.
