What to Know Before Adding a Pumice Stone to Your Foot Care Routine

A pumice stone is a useful skincare tool. It’s a powerful exfoliator that helps remove excess dry, dead skin, namely calluses. When it comes to foot care, a lotion for dry callused feet paired with a pumice stone can help you achieve visible results.

However, before incorporating a pumice stone into your foot care routine, there are a few things to be aware of. These tips can help you get the most out of your pumice stone as you visibly remove calluses and revitalize your feet.

Add a Pumice Stone to a Larger Foot Care Regimen

When you pick up a pumice stone, incorporate it into a larger foot care routine. Using a pumice stone alone may work to a degree, but is unlikely to help you reach the results you really want: visibly softer, smoother, and more supported feet.

Use the stone in conjunction with a natural, urea-based callus cream, along with routine foot baths containing warm water and Epsom salts. The callus cream helps loosen thickened, callused skin (apply nightly), the foot bath softens the skin further, and the pumice stone effectively removes that skin.

Only Use the Pumice Stone Occasionally 

A pumice stone is a powerful physical exfoliator. Both natural and artificial pumice stones have a rough, porous texture that’s effective at removing and reducing the appearance of thick layers of dead skin. This means occasional use goes a long way.

Excessive use of the pumice stone or pressing it too hard on the skin may cause irritation or damage. As effective as it might be, rely on your foot moisturizer for calluses for daily use and your pumice stone for weekly care sessions.

Pumice Stones Aren’t for Everybody 

Though pumice stones are very effective physical exfoliators, they’re not necessarily for everyone. People with particularly sensitive skin, for example, may want to use a gentler option, like a pumice sponge.

Additionally, people with diabetes, neuropathy, or poor circulation may need to consider other options. These conditions can result in an increased risk of infection via broken skin. Consult your podiatrist if you have concerns.
