Oval Pumice Stone on a Rope

1. The first step to smooth your rough feet is to soften up the skin. The best way to do this is to soak your feet in a bowl of warm water or after a bath, Soak your feet for five to ten minutes, until the skin has softened sufficiently.

2. The next step is to dip the pumice stone in the soapy water to get it wet.

Note: Before you proceed, keep in mind that smoothing your rough feet or reducing corns and calluses takes time. It's a gradual process that isn't going to happen by using the pumice stone just once. You'll need to use the stone gently. Rub too hard and you can break the skin and cause bleeding. You can also cause cuts and scratches.

If you are Diabetic, or otherwise have circulation problems in your feet, you'll need to pay special attention to how hard you are using the pumice stone. If you have open cracks, sores, or other medical problems with your feet, consult your healthcare professional before you use a pumice stone.
