A pumice stone can be used on wet or dry feet. Begin by using it on dry feet. With a back and forth motion, rub the pumice stone over rough heals or balls of your feet. Do not rub hard, just rub lightly back and forth. It will work like sand paper, taking off layers of rough skin. Don't try and do it all in one day, just begin for a few minutes.
Next, in a tub of water with a little liquid soap in it, or in the bathtub, soak your feet for at least five minutes.
Wash well with a soap filled washcloth. Once again using the pumice bar, repeat the back and forth motion very lightly. This will take off skin much faster so be very careful. Don't try to make your feet perfectly smooth the first time. You may take off too much skin and cause more problems. Depending on the roughness of the feet, if your feet are not dry and cracked, you can easily make them soft with a pumice bar in one use.
Dry feet well. If you are going to bed, cover the foot with a light coating of petroleum jelly (Vaseline). Carefully put on a sock. This will need to be an old sock that you no longer care about. A thick sock also works better. The thickness helps the vaseline not leak out to the sheets. Do the same procedure on the other foot. Sleep overnight with the socks on. If you are not going to bed, rub your feet with a non-greasy lotion and put your shoes on as usual.

What type of sedimentary rock does a pumice rock change into?
Pumice is a textural rock and not a rock that is classified by mineralogy or chemistry. It is basically the solidified foam that forms from a lava rich in volatiles or gases. When the molten rock is effervescing to the point of forming a froth and then solidifies, pumice is the result. Pumice has numerous open spaces or vesicles in the form of round bubbles, linear tubes or irregular cavities. There is so much porosity in pumice that there is often more empty space than actual rock and in fact some pumice can float on water.Some ocean related volcanoes have produced what are known as pumice rafts, which are actual floating mini islands made of rock. These pumice islands can exist for years floating along the ocean currents. Some may have been responsible for the distribution of island hopping animals and plants of the Pacific Ocean. Some pumice islands have been found with plants actually growing on them.Pumice differs from obsidian in that obsidian is all glass and lacks the extensive vesicles of pumice. Most pumice is acidic/felsic in composition associated with rhyolitesince those lavas tend to have more volatiles, but intermediate and basic varieties are known to occur. Scoria is a much heavier ropey volcanic rock with larger but less prolific vesicles than pumice.There are many uses for pumice as it is light weight, relatively hard and can have very sharp edges. It is used in the cosmetics industry as an exfoliating pad, scouring stones and as an additive in creams and lotions. Pumice's hardness makes it useful as an abrasive and its light weight gives it an advantage for use as large decorative rocks for landscaping. Its porous nature makes it a natural for filters.
