Is it time for you to stop waxing and use smelly hair removal creams?Not ready to spend a lot of money on treatments?You can use a pumice stone to buff away body hair if you like the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans.
Step 1: You can find a stone.
Pumice stones can be found in drug stores, natural grocery stores and online.Pumice has a porous surface.It is usually grey or black.The rubber grips on the pumice stones can be attached to a nail brush or other buffering tools.Whatever you're comfortable with, use it.
Step 2: You should decide where you want to use the stone.
It's possible to use pumice on your body, but that doesn't mean you should.If possible, avoid areas with delicate skin and coarse hair.It would damage your skin if you tried to remove the coarse hair.If you cut your upper lip instead of getting your hair off, you would have a very red lip.Not a good trade-off.If you're bald and want to get that shine, the best place to use the pumice method is on the legs, arms, and shoulders.Between waxing sessions, the pumice method is a good way to maintain.Be if you plan to use the pumice on your face or bikini area.Waxing, tweezing, hair removal creams, or shaving should be considered first.Don't use the pumice on skin that is already damaged, red, or peeling.
Step 3: Warm water is a good place to wash your body.
If the hair is soft, this method will work best.Before you start, take a warm shower or bath.
Step 4: To clean the area you plan to use the pumice stone, use soap or shower gel.
If you use an abrasive on your skin, you risk scratching it, which makes you susceptible to infections.It's a good idea to clean the skin before you scratch it.
Step 5: You want to buff the area with soap, shower gel, or baby oil.
It can help prevent irritation when using the stone.
Step 6: Rub the stone against your skin.
You can alternate between clockwise and counter-clockwise.Your strokes should be brisk, but you should not apply too much pressure to the skin.Stop the process if your skin becomes irritated or painful.This is more likely to cut your skin if you use an up-and-down or sawing motion.Start at the edge of the area.Start at your wrist if you are using it on your arm.You won't have random patches of missing hair if you stop partway through.
Step 7: Continue until you buff the entire area.
Step 8: You can rinse the area with water.
Your skin may be red from the process.It's a good idea to use a Moisturizer to keep your skin from drying out.Don't use perfumed moisturizers as they may irritate the skin.
Step 9: To clean the pumice, use warm, soapy water and a brush.
Remove the dead skin and hair from the stone's pores to make it ready for your next use.You shouldn't have to worry about ingrown hairs if you use the pumice.The stone removed the top layer of dead skin.
Step 10: Don't be impatient.
You may not see the results right away.It may be days or weeks before you see a difference, depending on your skin and the type of hair you are removing.Wait a few days before using the stone again.If you use this method too often, it can cause irritation and over-exfoliate your skin.
