Bumpy Arms

A client asked me lately how to get rid of those little bumps that are common on the back of the arms and thighs. I recommend dry skin brushing just before a shower. It exfoliates dead cells and brings blood to the skin. A quick Google search for “dry skin brushing” uncovers a lot a sites that talk about the miraculous effects of skin brushing. Evidently it cures everything from eczema to cancer. <sarcasm> Amazing! Will it whiten my teeth, too? </sarcasm> Eh, unlikely.
Look for a brush with natural bristles, like this one from Yerba Prima. The bristles are firm, yet soft enough to be comfortable.

I love skin brushing but I can’t see it getting rid of those bumps.
