It is such a durable material that it can be exposed to cold, fire and moisture without being affected. The pumice stone is heavy, but it floats on water.

The benefits of using pumice stone on the skin
People use pumice stone as a way to remove hair from any part of the body. Its use in this way dates back to Ancient Egypt, Greece and the Roman Empire. These civilizations mixed this element with natural ointments and oils to remove hair and perform beauty rituals.
Today, thousands of years later, we still use pumice stone for many reasons! Its biggest advantage is that, after removing unwanted hair, the skin remains soft and renewed. It is important to note that this practice is not recommended for very dry skin.

Stretch the clothes and hold them like this while rubbing them with pumice stone. It is important to go through this process calmly and carefully, because you can end up destroying your favorite blouse or pants.

How to clean pumice stone?
Although this stone is characterized by its strength, we must have a proper cleaning routine when using it at home. This is especially true when using it on the skin. We will increase its lifespan and protect our body.
We recommend washing the stone with hot water. Use a toothbrush to rub it and remove any impurities that may be between its pores. Then wash it again with hot water. In addition to this process, you can sterilize it from time to time by immersing it in boiling water for 5 minutes.
To dry it, put it on a dry cloth and expose it to the sun or keep it outdoors so that it dries naturally. You should never leave it wet, as fungi or bacteria can multiply quickly.
