I've suffered from strawberry legs (ingrown hairs) on my legs for quite some time. I've tried multiple different ways of hair removal and exfoliating but nothing seems to help. Someone recommended that I try a Pumice Stone, I was wondering if anyone has tried this method and how it worked for them!

I have the same issue!! It seems like that would be uncomfortable, but I don't know. Definitely following!

Are you asking wether a pumice skin to remove hairs or to remove skin? Either way I wouldn't suggest using this on your legs as it's really used for hard dead skin like on the bottom of your feet I can't imagine it would help your problem but it would probably also leave scratches

Well to remove hair (as strawberry legs is caused by ingrown hair). The person that has recommended it to me said that you rub firmly but gentle enough not to remove/break the skin. Going in a circle motion, and you would usually do it once you've soaked in warm water where your pores are open. The person also told me that over time the hairs would grow less and less. My question is, has anyone ever tried this.

To remove hair it would be doing it by burning them off kind of like using sandpaper which you can get actual stuff for the purpose of removing hair which I have used before and it really worked and is cheap :)

Are you sure you don't have keratosis Polaris? It sounds like what you're talking about, but isn't caused by ingrown hairs. If you have it on your upper arms or upper thighs or really anywhere on your leg that you don't remove hair. It's caused by genetics, due to an over production of keratin in your skin.
