Today I'm talking arms.
Well actually I'll be talking about a product for the whole body but in particular arms. My arms in fact and something that has been a problem for me since I was a teenager.
Do any of you suffer with those pesky red bumps on the backs of your upper arms? Come on...I can't be the only one!
It's been something that I've had since I was young and I will always remember one of my friends at middle school telling me it was because I ate too much bread.....
I never ate alot of bread so I was super confused and wondered how that could possibly be related?!

But now I am older, wiser and have the powers of the internet so found out what those bumps ACTUALLY are and why they are there.
Keratosis Pilaris is the technical term and instead of me rambling on about the science and biology - here is a link to all the information you need if you want it.
The basics? This annoying skin condition is caused when too much keratin builds up in the skin's hair follicles. The excess keratin blocks the hair follicles with plugs of hard, rough skin. The tiny plugs widen the pores, giving the skin a spotty appearance. Sounds a bit gross but it's harmless and super common.
Anyway back to the beauty part and the product I'm sure you all want to hear about.
This classic Soap & Glory product I've mentioned before on here but not for a while and over the last month I've fallen back in love with it so much so I thought why not share it!
The Scrub Of You Life is one of the first scrubs Soap & Glory added to their collection, with the original scent and fun pink packaging this is a must for all girly girls out there!
Probably the most used and most repurchased of all the scrubs I own, this stuff has come to the rescue many a time.
Foamy and fruity I love the scent and with this stuff a little goes a long, long way leaving my skin feeling so much softer and smoother without drying it out.
Just a few uses a week and the bumps on my arms are faded and sometimes totally gone - I can't live without this stuff!
So if you're looking for a new scrub to try or want something to try and tame those bumps - I highly recommend this.
