How to get pretty feet with a pumice stone
12 Sep 2011 11:14 AM |

First things first: what is a pumice stone? A pumice or foot stone is a stone made up of thousands of sharp, microscopic crystals of volcanic rock. The abrasive nature of the particles makes them ideal for breaking down really tough, callused areas of skin. Soak feet in a warm bath for 15 minutes to soften then starting from the heel, use the pumice stone to gently buff away dead areas of skin, working in circular motions. Repeat several times over callused areas and don’t attempt to remove all your tough skin in one hit. Repeat once a fortnight over a few months to reveal fresher, softer skin.

I've just bought me a 2in1 pumice stone and brush for $2 ... love how their so cheap and EFFECTIVE! The other fave in my home pedicure kit is my tube of Avon Paraffin foot mask cream! Love the deliciously soft skin afterwards that lasts for days!

I guess you don't need this if your feet are not dry/scaly or hard???

I love giving my feet a pamper session, the blissful feel afterwards is fantastic and your feet look great.
