Are pumice stones good for your feet?
A pumice stone can be used daily to help prevent or reduce calluses and corns by sloughing off dead skin. It can also be used daily to help reduce ingrown toenails and it's an effective tool for removing stubborn varicose veins. Be sure to use it with caution, and never use it directly on the skin.
Is there a difference between pumice stones?
Pumice is typically denser, more porous, and softer than a foot file. A foot file is typically made from an abrasive material like emery or metal. Foot files tend to be longer, but not as long as a pumice stone. A foot file has a long handle (for better leverage) and a shorter blade while a pumice stone has a longer blade and a shorter handle. A foot file requires both hands to use while a pumice stone is typically used with one hand and an elbow to hold the pumice in place.
How do I choose a pumice stone?
The best way to choose a pumice stone is to check the size on the box - usually the box states "pumice/grit size" or "pumice/grit size" and the size of the pores on the stone. You'll usually find that the stones with the biggest pores will be the roughest and the most abrasive, and the stones with the smallest pores will be the softest and the least abrasive. This can be a good way of choosing a pumice stone too because if they're abrasive they’ll be rough on your skin and you'll need a higher grit stone to smooth it down.
Can I use toilet pumice stone on feet?
You can use a toilet pumice stone on your feet to remove dry, cracked skin and calluses.
Are pumice stones reusable?
Pumice stones are an excellent tool for cleaning hard surfaces such as concrete and stone. Their abrasive qualities allow them to easily remove tough, ingrained dirt and grime. They are a great tool for cleaning off mud or dirt from hard-to-reach areas like the bottom of a pool or the shower stall.
