PUMICE STONE HAIR REMOVAL

Pumice was used in ancient time for removing hair from body.As time passed waxing and other types of hair removing methods over took it as this was more time consuming.when pumice stone is rubbed on hairy parts of our body heat and friction is created which damages hair follicles and finally no hair grows on that area.But a lot a time should be given to it.One cannot achieve it in a single day.one should use the pumice stone daily during bathing.Daily a small amount of hair should fall off.One must remember to be gentle since they may scratch off their skin if they are not gentle.
When bathing lather your body with soap.Better if you can use hot water.Then slowly rub the pumice stone on hairy parts .This may cause some parts to become a little red.But this is natural,and should go away soon.some finds this method of hair removal less irritating than other methods.I will recommend this technique to be done only on legs and hands.Pumice stone also removes dead skin cells that makes your skin smooth.Pumice stone is generally used in pedicure to rub off dead skin cells from foot.
One can also try the method of using pumice stone shown in the video.

          To know your skin type,at night sleep off after washing your face with plain water,do not use any cream or product on your face.Next morning take a tissue paper and press it on all parts of your face.Now look carefully at the tissue paper,if you see little oil on it,then you have normal skin.If you see no oil on it then you have dry skin.If you see a lot of strain of oil on it then you have oily skin.And if you find oil on few areas of your face like nose,chin and forehead then you have combination type of skin.Take care of your skin according to your skin type and use products accordingly.

Sugaring is much less painful and causes much less allergic reaction than waxing.frequent sugaring damages hair follicles,as a result hair becomes thinner,weaker and much lesser than before.So as time passes you don't need to remove hairs frequently as before.

The ingredients you will need for sugaring are:1.One cup sugar
