I am guessing you just had a glance at your feet too. Thinking what to do? As Always, the simplest of solution for all your problems are here at this blog, The petite reviews. Let me get started about the importance of foot care.
Why to take care of your Feet with Pumice Stone?
We are aware that the skin below our feet are exposed to dirt and dust when open, this can lead to bacteria forming between our toes, or dangerous corns, and callouses.
Seasonally it can get flaky, which can lead to minor cuts and bruises causing pain and discomfort. Hence, it is important to take care of our foot the right way.
Dermatologists highly recommend to care of your feet; because our entire weight is on our feet and it is as vital as any other body part.
There was definitely a reason with age old traditions of washing feet before entering the house, main reason being hygiene. This tradition is long forgotten. We see people forgetting to care for their feet and have heard stories of people with corn on their feet (a really painful medical issue) and being unable to get rid of them leading to disorders or immobility.
The reason being lack of correct foot care. So let me introduce you to a very cute and easy-to-use tool. It is called the Pretty Useful, Magical & Ideal tool to Clean Easy, the PUMICE stone.
How to Take Care of your Feet with Pumice Stone easily and quickly?

I am sure many of you have heard of this stone or seen, used, tested and have experienced how it actually does wonders to your skin below the feet. If you have not heard about it, do not fret, we will cover everything here.
Whether you already know about it or you’re new to it; here is how to use it and all it’s benefits.
Go get your feet dipped in a tub of tepid water and read along 😉
What is a pumice stone?
A pumice stone is formed when lava and water mix together. It’s a light-yet-abrasive stone used for foot care. A pumice stone can also soften your calluses and corns to reduce pain from friction.
How to use a pumice stone the right way?
Change is the only constant, and changes in our skin happens throughout the year. Our feet are exposed to bacteria and dirt making it unattractive. Hence foot care becomes important during extreme cold winter months and harsh summer.
If you are still sitting with your feet dipped in a tub of tepid water, then start pampering your feet by grabbing a pumice stone and follow these four steps:
Step 1 – DIP your feet
Firstly dip in water both your feet and the pumice stone for about five minutes. This process eases exfoliating and dead skin feels less rough. The pumice stone feels smoother making it’s use light on the surface of the skin.
P in Pumice stands for Pretty – the pumice stone itself is pretty & petite and leaves your feet looking pretty and pure.
Step 2 – Exfoliate
Second step is to start cleaning and rubbing out the dead, dry skin by simply exfoliating your feet using the pumice stone. Scrub your feet gently in a circular motion and dip it often to soften it and check how much skin is falling off .Stop and repeat the process until it’s all removed .
U in Pumice stands for Useful: Isn’t it useful? a small little stone does so much work. It keeps our feet happy and us too. It is so user friendly ;most pumice stones these days come with a holder or are even attached to a brush to get pedicure done at your own home. Simply use pumice.
Step 3 – Inspect
The third step is: now that your’e feet and you are getting overwhelmed with the pampering,check the skin and see if it still feels flaky and dry or soft and smooth.
Don’t go too harsh if it’s not coming off easy, too much of scrubbing can cause skin irritation and inflammation and can lead to cuts. Be gentle! and if you are at a point where the skin feels good, smooth and clean then stop.
M – Magic: The pumice stone creates it’s own magic, by exfoliating and creating a whole new face for the feet and happy smiles on our faces. You don’t really need a magic wand; all you need is the right product.
I – Ideal : What did one feet say to the other? well; we are an ideal match ! hurrah. The feet look perfect and the pumice stone is an ideal tool for everyone, because it is handy, fits in anywhere and can be used anytime.
Step 4 – Rinse
Twirl! Twirl? you can do it now! The fourth step is to simply rinse off your feet in warm water and also leave the pumice stone in warm water. This stone accumulates dead skin in its pores. So, wash it thoroughly in water and leave it to dry. Wipe your feet too and see the wonder.
C- Clean: I am sure you’re feet is all clean and clear now. No more feeling that grrrskslslsl noise while you walk on the carpet barefoot. No more painful cuts on your feet. Because the pumice stone worked it’s magic and kept your feet clean.
Step 5 – Moisturize
Are you done with the pampering? and “self love time”! There’s one last step which is necessary and it is just so E-easy. After your feet our patted and kept dry; apply any body cream or foot cream. To keep the smoothness longer, keep your feet warm by wearing a pair of sock to avoid attracting germs.
