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

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

llareggub · 18/07/2009 19:33

Pregnancy worked for me.

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

YcLaT · 18/07/2009 19:34

Lol

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

Lancome Gommage Peau de Peche is pretty good.

brimfull · 18/07/2009 19:52

surely any scrub would work then
and lots of moisturiser

Thandeka · 18/07/2009 19:53

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.

Flamesparrow · 18/07/2009 19:53

Mine don't get desperately pimply...

MARGOsBeenDrinkingTea · 18/07/2009 20:01

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.

MARGOsBeenDrinkingTea · 18/07/2009 20:03

exfoliation irritates KP

So this stuff work with a week?

Adds to wishlist

YcLaT · 18/07/2009 20:05

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

My pimples get worse as my arms get flabbier.
