How do people get lovely smooth looking arms?

I've never really cared too much about it, especially since I used to carry a lot more weight and tended to hide my arms.

But.. now I've lost weight and decided to get a sleeveless wedding dress.

Hopefully the pictures post, the wedding dress one with corned beef arms is obviously me and the other picture is a witch of a woman with beautiful arms.

I know toning will help with the shape, it's the corned beef-ness that I want to try and tone down.

I've ordered some Korean Italian towels & Ameliorate lotion hope they work, thanks for recommendations

ChaToilLeam · 04/12/2021 12:10

The Korean towels are amazing! Ameliorate is good, but I find Nip & Fab’s Glycolic Body Fix products work well too and are much cheaper.

Can someone please link to the towels they recommend, because I have some Korean mitt things that are just meh.

MsEmmeline · 04/12/2021 12:29

I'd like a link to some
Korean towels too please 🙂. Also, how do you use them 😄?

Honestly fake tan is the best for evening out skin tone

Bluntness100 · 04/12/2021 12:34

Fake tan. Always makes arms look slimmer and disguises the corned beef look.

Just use tanning moisturiser regularly

JustLikea · 04/12/2021 13:36

What you're not seeing OP is that despite what you think about the skin on your arms, your arms and back look beautiful in that dress which many others will be envious of.

The only thing that ever really worked for me was bar soap with exfoliating bits in it. I scrub my arms and legs in the shower a couple of times a week

picklemewalnuts · 04/12/2021 13:46

How long have you got? Not because I've a skin care programme to recommend, but because I think you are cold in that photo! If you can try out a light spray tan now, then do all the exfoliating/brushing/creams recommended here, and also wait until it's warmer to get married... I think you'll be sorted!

What’s a Korean towel when it’s at home? I’m intrigued!

Lovelydovey · 04/12/2021 18:45

Korean exfoliating cloths or a hemp soap bag in the shower every day.

Use those scrubbing glove things in the shower to wash yourself with.
