Re: My HAIRY child
Hey Ladies,
Here’s is some information that I’ve found about the pumice stone which removes hair. I’ve included the quote and its link:
Pumice stones
Among the oldest devices used for temporary hair removal, they are used most often for removing rough skin on heels and elbows. Rubbing pumice over the skin generates mechanical friction, which wears off hair at the skin surface.
The device is inexpensive, easy to use and not as likely as chemical depilatories to cause skin irritation. It is, also, slow and tedious to use and impractical for large areas. If the abrasive is rubbed too vigorously, your skin will feel irritated.
Once the hair is removed, regular treatments afterward may be less time consuming since the hair will be short. Hair growth may become less coarse or dense after years of using a pumice, but this method will not remove hair permanently.
After using a pumice, gently massage oil or body lotion into the area to lessen skin irritation produced by the abrasion.
