It is apparently caused by something in fizzy juice....

I take a pan scrub sponge to mine on a weekly basis

Lush's Buffy is the cure for any pimply bits!

I've used it every day since tuesday. Works better than pan scrub.

Lancome Gommage Peau de Peche is pretty good.

surely any scrub would work then
and lots of moisturiser

condition is called Keratosis Pilaris.

exfoliation and EHA's or special cream from the docs also works. I only bothered for my wedding but am finding pregnancy is reducing it too.

Oh and sunshine reduces it too.

I have been prescribed a cream which treats rosacea and oilatum and another time I got a cream for acne - that one was the most successful.

I also used vitamin E capsules - cut them open and used the oil on my arms.

It's just the maintenance I find annoying.

I am a woman who never moisturises.

exfoliation irritates KP

So this stuff work with a week?

Adds to wishlist

Sunshine doesn't work on mine.
What is EHA?, going to google it.

My pimples get worse as my arms get flabbier.
