i think you need to get the circulation going, so dry brushing, exfoliation or exercise.

won't do that then wats. think it's because my skin is really thin, i do exercise but once i stand still the corned beef effect comes back.

the airbrush product looks promising will try that out .

the gloss sounds lovely too.

Exercise, exercise and then a bit more exercise - it really works!

No but it does stain the grout in the bathroom.....[she says from bitter experience] but it is excellent stuff. I spray it on outside to save any mess in the house.

Oh and the sheets can get a funny colour unless you shower/bath it off with scrubbing before you go to bed.
