Pumice Stone

robin58

Hears a question.

Where do I get real pumice stone from.

Tried Boots and Superdrug and the Discounters in my town.

Can't find it.

Short of going to FleaBay, anybody got any ideas.

Have you looked at Amazon or The Body Shop?

Have you tried a 'Newtons Chiropody Sponge'? They work really well on hard skin.

Local (non branded) Chemist?

I bought a sort of synthetic pumice stone from Bodycare, half blue , half white one side is coarser than the other . It works really well.
They also sell this amazing foot balm too which is also 99p so soothing and nourishing without being greasy

Don't know about the pumice stone, but I find the Body Shop's Foot File to be great at removing hard skin on feet. It's the best I've ever used. Bought a load when there was a 50% off online

This is probably about your best bet ^^

They often sell things you can't get in the chain stores.

Thanks for all your replies.

I have seen the synthetic hard sponge for feet but it's not what I want.

Also I do not want a foot file either.

Will look into the independent chemists. I have a few around me.

What I really want to find then is an old style chemist who has a stash of old stock.;)

Looks like I will have a nice wandering about day out coming.:D

Not sure if your anywhere near London but there is an old-style sort of Chemist on Wigmore Street (runs parallel to Oxford Street) owing to the competition (several large Boots stores are within spitting distance, a few Superdrug stores and John Lewis and so on) they don't have the same olde-worlde feel as they would have done years back but they do have a Chesterfield to sit on! And a lot of carved wooden surfaces! I haven't checked them for pumice stones as I have no need to be there have not visited for a while but I'd imagine if they didn't stock it they'd know where to find it.


Other than them and other local Chemists, John Lewis apparently have them (£3.75) in as do Superdrug (£1.59) (though probably only larger stores) Neal's Yard (£2.50) and Amazon (from £2.45 from Amazon direct- eg not 3rd party sellers who start prices at 62p but will charge postage)
