If you are planning to remove hair on your body with a pumice stone, you need to get some additional supplies. These supplies may include a moisturizer, a soft towel, as well as a bristled brush for cleaning the stone.
Once you have the supplies, follow this step-by-step guide to learn how to use a pumice stone for hair removal:
-
Gather and clean your supplies
Put all the supplies in the place where you want to carry out the process. Before using any material especially the pumice stone and water, be certain that it is clean.
-
Prepare the area with unwanted hair growth
Soak the areas with hair in warm water for some minutes. This is to ensure that the skin around the hair is softened. You can add a moisturizer, oil, or soap to the body part.

Remove hair with your pumice stone
Remove the stone and start rubbing it in a circular motion over the hair in the target area. Make sure the abrasive part of the stone is in contact with your skin.
Don’t apply too much pressure during this process to prevent injury.
Stop using the stone and massage the spot for about three or more minutes.
If you notice any sore or unusual sensation on the spot, stop the process as you might have applied excess pressure on it.
If you don’t experience any strange sensation, use the pumice stone again for removing the hair from the target spot. This should continue until you are certain that the hair in the target area has been removed completely.
Now, you need to stop the process and rinse your body with water. However, if you notice some hairs are still left on your skin, don’t hesitate to use the pumice stone to get rid of them.
You can repeat this process as many times as possible until you can see that the hair has been removed completely.
Once you are done with the pumice stone, you should moisturize your skin with an oil or moisturizer. This ensures that the skin remains soft and doesn’t lose its moisture.
When you are done with the process, you need to clean the pumice stone. Utilize a bristle brush to scrub off the hair on it under running water.
If the dirt and hair don’t come off the pumice stone, you can apply soap and scrub it thoroughly.
