Anyone know a miracle cure???

Nope, but booking my place on this thread for when somebody comes up with one.

exfoliation

takes time though

With anything in particular MB?

Yes you need that particular Vitamin that you are deficient in, and that is why they are there.

I can't remember what it is though.

Maybe it's not a vitamin at all? Perhaps it is magnesium or potassium or something.

There. See. Most helpful.

Use a body brush before showering.

Saunas are supposed to be really good.. sorted my arms out pre-baby. Now I don't have the time

Dry brushing, and use a gel type moisturiser rather than a creamy one.

Anything that aids circulations e.g. exfoliation, body brush etc..

According to the food doctors on TV it means that you're short of omega 3. So more oily fish and flaxseed in your diet should help. I found that brushing helped too.

lack of vit c and essential fatty acids, take supplements if necessary or eat loads of citrus, avocados, seeds, oily fish etc

It's called Keratosis Pilaris - I went to my doc about it as wasn't sure what they were. Various treatment methods, microdermabrasion worked for me!

Thanks all - will give the body brushing and moisturiser a go!

You can use a friction mitt and a moisturising shower gel in the bath instead of the dry body brushing - I find this works better for me and is less hassle.

Use a really good body moisturiser (Trixéra is the best).

I have had success with sulphur soap (bought online) and a body lotion for very dry skin.
