Pumice, from Black Volcanic Lava

A coarse grained pumice for exfoliating the feet.

£5.00


Collected from mountain summits in Lebanon, these pumice stones were ejected as foamy lather from a now extinct volcano. These Lebanese pumice will add an air of elegance to any bath suite. The stone has large pores giving it a very effective exfoliating action. Look after it, and it will last for many years. The stones are generally black but due to the natural variation, a few are dark grey, and some reddish black.

What is a pumice for?

To exfoliate areas of hard skin, to stimulate circulation and to make the skin feel more comfortable.

Composition
Pumice, chiefly composed of silicon is technically a form of natural glass.

How do you use a pumice?

Rub gently onto area of thick skin such on the feet and toes, elbows and knees. It is ideal if these areas have been soaked in water first. If you have not used a pumice stone for some time, do not try to remove all the hard skin in one go, instead just try to introduce this kind of exfoliation on a regular basis.

How to care for your pumice stone

Take care not to drop this stone to avoid damaging bathroom fixtures or damaging the stone. After use scrub the pumice stone with a stiff bristle brush, then allow to dry after use.

Tip
It is much easier to remove areas of thick skin with a pumice if Savon Noir exfoliating soap is applied to the area first. Savon Noir separates the dead skin away from the living skin, making pumicing more effective, less ticklish and giving the smoothest, most professional finish
