The rough surface of
pumice stones, sandpaper, emery paper or mitts is rubbed against the hair
and the hair is removed at the surface of the skin. This is used mainly
for removal of hair on the leg. The pumice stone, sandpaper or mitts
should only be rubbed gently against the skin.
Only the finest Sandpaper of 600 grit, available in automotive supply shops should be used for hair removal. Coarser sandpaper/emery paper available in hardware shops should not be used as it may damage the skin Pumice stones are made from carbon based volcanic rocks and have been used for hair removal for a long time. They should be used only on wet skin with soap. By rubbing pumice stones over the skin, mechanical friction is generated and the hair wears off. Pumice stones last for a long time, with some manufacturers offering a lifetime warranty Compared to chemical depilatories this hair removal method is less likely to irritate the skin.
